The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has approved Saturday, June 28 for the conduct of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mop-up.

According to the examination body, 96,838 candidates would sit for the exercise in 183 centres across the country.
JAMB Public Communications Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, stated this in a statement on Sunday.

The statement revealed that the rescheduled exercise would accommodate 5,096 spill-over candidates and those who failed biometric verification during the main exercise, as well as 91,742 candidates who were absent in both or either of the main and resit examinations.

Dr. Benjamin urged eligible candidates to print their examination notification slips from Monday, 23rd June 2025.

On Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres involved in illicit practices, the spokesperson disclosed that 113 CBT centres “have been delisted or suspended.”

“In addition to centres being delisted for technical deficiencies during the mock, UTME, and resit examinations, a large number of CBT centres implicated for sharp practices in the ongoing security investigation are being suspended, and those found culpable would be delisted and reported for prosecution.

“Consequently, 113 CBT centres have been delisted or suspended from across the country. Some others are implicated in multiple infractions in the main or resit examinations exercise.

“As a result of the investigation, a number of examination towns are no longer eligible to be used for the mop-up examinations. Few candidates who fall into the deactivated examination towns would be assigned to examination towns closest to the delisted towns. We seek the understanding of such candidates,” the statement read
