Prof. Oloyede further revealed that a specialized mock UTME has been introduced for candidates below the age of 16.
This initiative is not intended for admission purposes but aims to help underage candidates assess their abilities and prepare for future exams.
He clarified that candidates must be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2025, to be eligible for admission into universities, polytechnics, or colleges of education.
However, exceptionally gifted candidates under the age of 15 may qualify if they score at least 280 in the UTME and excel in their Senior Secondary Certificate and post-UTME examinations.
