The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced Saturday, 28 June, for the conduct of the 2025 UTME mop-up examination.

The board had earlier announced it would conduct a mop-up for candidates who missed the UTME in April and rescheduled the UTME in May.

In a statement on Sunday by its spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, JAMB asked candidates who missed the 2025 UTME to start printing their registration slips from Monday, 23 June.

The slip contains their examination centres and the time of examination.

JAMB said 96,838 candidates have been scheduled to sit the mop-up in 183 centres across the country.

The statement said the mop-up will accommodate 5,096 candidates who failed biometric verification during the main exercise and 91,742 who were absent in the main and rescheduled UTME.

 

JAMB said the first session for the examination day starts at 8 a.m.

“Candidates for the 8:00 a.m. session are therefore advised in their own interest to arrive one or one and a half hours before the actual commencement of the examination,” it said.

“Eligible and genuine candidates are advised to print their examination notification slips from Monday, 23 June 2025, in preparation for the mop-up examination scheduled for Saturday, 28 June 2025.”
