The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has fixed Saturday, 13th June, 2026 for the conduct of the UTME mop-up examination for all candidates who presented themselves and were biometrically verified for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, but were unable to sit the examination for one reason or another.
The spokesman of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made this known on Monday in a statement he issued.
The 2026 UTME was conducted between 23rd and 29th April, 2026.
However, some centres experienced technical challenges which made it impossible for a number of candidates to sit the examination.
In addition, some results were subsequently withdrawn over examination infractions, while some candidates who presented themselves for the examination could not be verified biometrically.
All such candidates, JAMB said, had been listed for the mop-up examination.
The mop-up examination represents the final phase of the annual UTME exercise and serves as an opportunity to address all outstanding examination challenges involving candidates who duly presented themselves but encountered difficulties in taking the examination.
Candidates in that category, JAMB said, were advised to begin printing their Examination Notification Slips from Saturday, 6th June, 2026.
“Affected candidates are hereby urged to print their Examination Notification Slips, familiarise themselves with their examination centres, and make all necessary arrangements ahead of the examination date, as there will be no further opportunity for any candidate to sit the 2026 UTME after this mop-up exercise,” the statement reads.
