The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mop-up will take place on Saturday, June 28.
In a post shared on its official X handle on Sunday, JAMB stated that the examination is intended for 5,096 spillover candidates and those who encountered biometric verification issues during the main exercise.
Additionally, 91,742 candidates who missed either the main examination or the resit will also have the opportunity to participate. This exercise, exclusive to the 2025 UTME, will accommodate a total of 96,838 candidates across 183 centres.
It said, “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 agency further announced that candidates could begin printing their examination notification slips starting Monday, June 23, 2025.
