JAMB Announces 2025 UTME Top Performers: Anambra Student Leads with 375/400
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) revealed Tuesday that Okeke Chinedu Christian from Anambra State achieved the highest score in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The top candidate scored 375 out of a possible 400 points.
JAMB Registrar Professor Ishaq made the announcement, highlighting the exceptional performance of Nigeria’s brightest university hopefuls. The disclosure marks a significant milestone for the 2025 academic year’s admission process.
The UTME serves as Nigeria’s standardized entrance examination for tertiary institutions. Students across the country compete for limited university spaces through this crucial assessment. Scoring 375 points demonstrates exceptional academic preparation and knowledge across tested subjects.
While JAMB identified the top performer, details about the second and third highest scorers remain limited in the initial announcement. The examination board typically releases comprehensive statistics showing performance patterns across different states and subjects.
This achievement reflects the quality of education and student dedication in Anambra State. High UTME scores significantly improve candidates’ chances of securing admission to competitive university programs and courses.
The 2025 UTME results will determine university admissions for thousands of Nigerian students. JAMB’s announcement provides insight into this year’s overall performance standards and academic excellence across the nation’s educational system.
