2026 UTME: JAMB fixes June 13 for mop-up examination
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has scheduled Saturday, June 13, 2026, for the conduct of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mop-up exercise for candidates who missed the main examination.
JAMB said the mop-up examination is specifically for candidates who appeared at their centres and were successfully verified through biometric screening but could not take the examination due to different reasons.
The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin.
The statement reads: “The 2026 UTME was conducted from 16th to 23rd April. 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“In addition, some results were subsequently withdrawn over examination infractions, while some candidates who presented themselves for the examination could not be verified biometrically.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 have 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 this category are 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.”
