The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the mop-up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will take place on Saturday, June 28, 2025.
According to Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Public Communications Advisor, the examination is designed to accommodate candidates who were unable to participate in the main exercise due to various reasons.
A total of 96,838 candidates have been scheduled to sit for the mop-up examination across 183 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers nationwide.
This includes 5,096 candidates who could not be verified biometrically during the main exercise and 91,742 candidates who were absent in either the main or rescheduled examinations. Some candidates are on standby pending further investigation and validation of their status.
In a bid to maintain the integrity of the examination process, JAMB has continued its crackdown on examination malpractice and technical incompetence among CBT centers. Following investigations into infractions observed during the mock, main, and resit UTME examinations, 113 CBT centers have been suspended or delisted from further participation in JAMB activities. These centers were implicated in varying degrees of malpractice, including technical sabotage, impersonation, and other illicit practices.
As a result, certain examination towns have been deactivated, and candidates initially assigned to these towns will be relocated to the nearest available centers. JAMB has appealed for the understanding and cooperation of all affected candidates, acknowledging the potential inconvenience this may cause.
The Board remains committed to ensuring the integrity and transparency of the examination process.
