JAMB ANNOUNCES 2025 UTME MOP-UP EXAM DATE.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has approved June 28 for the 2025 UTME mop-up examination. 

A statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the board’s Public Communications Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, explained that the examination will accommodate 96,838 candidates, including 5,096 spill-over candidates and those who failed biometric verification during the main exercise.

Benjamin said the mop-up examination will be conducted in 183 centers across the nation, with the first session starting at 8am, therefore, candidates have been advised to arrive about one or one and a half hours before the commencement of the examination. 

He disclosed that eligible candidates can print their examination notification slips from Monday in preparation for the mop-up examination, adding that JAMB has taken steps to ensure the integrity of the examination process, including the suspension or delisting of 113 CBT centers implicated in sharp practices. 

Assuring that candidates affected by deactivated examination towns will be assigned to the closest available centers, the board commended security agencies for their role in investigating identity theft and examination malpractices syndicates, leading to the arrest and prosecution of culprits.
