The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced Saturday, 28th June 2025, as the date for the conduct of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mop-up examination.

Over two million candidates registered for this year’s UTME, out of which over 1.9 million have already sat the examination.

Apart from the UTME held in April, JAMB also conducted a rescheduled UTME for over 300,000 candidates in May after it found that a glitch affected their results.

The glitch affected candidates in 65 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres in Lagos State and 92 CBT centres across Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, and Enugu states.

A total of 96,838 candidates would be participating in the mop-up exercise.

It includes 5,096 spill-over candidates, those who experienced biometric verification failures during the main UTME.

The exercise will also feature 91,742 candidates who were absent during the main and resit examinations.

The printing of notification slips will begin from Monday, 23rd June 2025. 

The slip contains their examination centres and the time of examination.

The exam is expected to take place in 183 centres across the country. 

JAMB said the first session for the examination day starts at 8 a.m.

“Candidates for the 8:00 a.m. session are therefore advised in their own interest to arrive one or one and a half hours before the actual commencement of the examination,” it said.
