The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will hold the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mop-up exam on Saturday, June 28.
In a statement posted via its official X handle on Sunday, JAMB explained that the mop-up will include 5,096 spill-over candidates and those who were unable to undergo biometric verification during the main exam.
According to the board, an additional 91,742 candidates who missed either the main or rescheduled exams will also be given the opportunity to participate in this one-time mop-up session, strictly for the 2025 UTME.
JAMB stated that this brings the total number of candidates scheduled for the mop-up to 96,838, to be examined across 183 centres nationwide.
It added, “Saturday, June 28, has been approved for the conduct of the 2025 UTME mop-up examination. This examination will accommodate the 5,096 spill-over candidates and those who failed biometric verification during the main exercise.
“Also, due to the special dispensation granted to absentee candidates of the main and resit examinations, 91,742 candidates who were absent in both or either of the main and resit examinations would also be given this opportunity, which is only for 2025 UTME.
“Thus, 96,838 candidates are being rescheduled for the 2025 mop-up exercise in 183 centres across the nation while others are kept on standby.”
The board also informed that candidates can begin printing their examination notification slips from Monday, June 23, 2025.
