The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said that it will conduct the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination mop-up examination on Saturday, June 28.
This was contained in a post on the official X handle of JAMB on Sunday.
It said that the examination would accommodate the 5,096 spill-over candidates and those who failed biometric verification during the main exercise.
JAMB explained that 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 the 2025 UTME.
This, it said, would bring to total number of candidates being scheduled for the examination in 183 centres to 96,838.
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 also said that candidates could commence the printing of the examination notification slips from Monday, June 23, 2025. (Channels TV)
