“From this year onwards, no two candidates will have the same questions, which is a significant step towards upholding academic integrity,’’ he said.

The 2025 examination will accommodate a staggering 1,973,253 candidates from 23,554 schools, with a gender distribution of 979,228 males and 994,025 females.

This marks an increase in both male and female participants, compared to previous years.

“The statistics indicate a continued growth in female participation, which is encouraging,” Dr. Dangut noted.

To enhance the registration process, the National Identification Number, NIN has been incorporated as a component.

However, Dr. Dangut emphasised that it was not mandatory at the initial stage, to facilitate easier registration.

He explained:  “We wanted to ensure all candidates could access the registration portal without unnecessary barriers.’’
