The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially released the list of top-scoring candidates in the 2025 UTME. The announcement was made by the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, during the 2025 admission policy meeting held in Abuja.
Who Is the Highest Scorer in JAMB 2025?
The overall best candidate for JAMB 2025 is Okeke Chinedu Christian from Anambra State. He scored an impressive 375 out of 400. Okeke applied to study Mechanical Engineering at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). However, JAMB later discovered that Okeke is already enrolled in the Department of Medicine at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), a fact that raises questions about his eligibility.
JAMB has contacted the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) to investigate and ensure due process is followed in Okeke’s case. According to JAMB, the medical program he’s enrolled in at UNN has not been officially withdrawn or discontinued.
Other Top Scorers in JAMB 2025
Aside from Okeke, several other candidates scored exceptionally high in the 2025 UTME:
1. Ayuba Simon-Peter scored 374. He is from Kaduna State and applied for Medicine.
2. Jimoh Abdulmalik also scored 373. A brilliant student from Kwara State, he intends to study Law.
3. Roberts Damiete, with a score of 373, hails from Rivers State. His course of choice is Computer Science.

Lowest JAMB Scores 2025
JAMB does not publish the lowest scores to avoid public shaming and to maintain the dignity of all candidates. The board focuses on promoting excellence, not embarrassment.
What This Means for Admissions
Candidates with scores above 350 have a strong chance of gaining admission into top federal universities, especially competitive programs like Medicine, Engineering, and Law. However, all candidates must pass their O’Level exams and participate in the school’s Post UTME or screening exercise.
