Prof. Oloyede also explained that a mock UTME has been introduced specifically for candidates below the age of 16.
This initiative is not for admission purposes but is intended to allow underage candidates to test their abilities in preparation for future exams.
He emphasized that candidates must be at least 16 years old on or before September 30, 2025, to qualify for admission into universities, polytechnics, or colleges of education.
However, gifted candidates under 15 years may be considered if they score at least 280 in the UTME and perform exceptionally in their Senior Secondary Certificate and post-UTME examinations.
