The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially scheduled the 2025 UTME mop-up exam for Saturday, 28 June 2025. This exercise offers a final opportunity for eligible candidates—especially those who missed the main UTME in April or the resit in May—to sit for the exam.
Who Qualifies?
- 5,096 “spill-over” candidates whose biometric verification failed during the initial UTME.
- 91,742 candidates who missed the main or rescheduled UTME sessions.
- A total of 96,838 candidates have been cleared to participate, with another set kept on standby.
Examination Logistics
- The mop-up exam will be held in 183 CBT centres nationwide.
- First session starts at 8:00 a.m. Candidates are advised to arrive 1–1½ hours early to allow ample time for verification processes.
- Eligible candidates can begin printing their exam notification slips from Monday, 23 June 2025, via the official JAMB portal.
Why the Mop‑Up Matters
- Second (and final) chance: It ensures no candidate is disenfranchised due to technical faults or absence—JAMB emphasizes fairness and inclusivity.
- Lesson from glitches: Following earlier biometric and system issues (notably affecting nearly 380,000 candidates in Lagos and the Southeast), JAMB’s transparency—led by Registrar Prof. Is‑haq Oloyede—resulted in a rescheduled mop‑up and widespread procedural reviews.
- Security measures: Over 113 CBT centres have been suspended or delisted for infractions or malpractice, reinforcing exam integrity.
