UTME 2025: JAMB announces date for mop-up examination.
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.
THE CANDIDATES
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.
SCHEDULE
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.”
2025 UTME
Over two million candidates registered for this year’s UTME, out of which over 1.9 million have already sat the examination.
Apart from the UTME held in April, JAMB also conducted a rescheduled UTME for over 300,000 candidates in May after it found that a glitch affected their results.
The glitch affected candidates in 65 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres in Lagos State and 92 CBT centres across Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, and Enugu States.
JAMB found the errors after its UTME results, following widespread concerns of low scores by candidates with a track record of better performance in both the UTME and other examinations.
Mr Oloyede admitted the errors, apologised to the candidates and announced the rescheduling of the UTME for affected candidates.
