The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has revealed that out of the forty thousand, two hundred and forty-seven underage candidates who sat for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, only four hundred and sixty-seven, which is one point one six per cent, scored high enough to be classified under the exceptional ability category.

This is from a total of one million, nine hundred and fifty-five thousand and sixty-nine processed results for the year.

In a post made on X (formerly Twitter) via its official handle, the examination body on Monday, disclosed that although the underage candidates were permitted to showcase their academic prowess, “their performance in the subsequent three stages is still pending,” indicating that the evaluation process for these prodigious candidates is far from over.
