The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced that the 2025 UTME Mop-Up Examination will be held on Saturday, 28th June 2025. All candidates who are eligible to sit for this special exam must print their examination notification slips starting from Monday, 23rd June 2025.
This exam is very important. It gives a second chance to candidates who were unable to write the main UTME or its resit due to different reasons like technical issues, absence, or biometric problems. Let’s explain everything in a simple way so that everyone understands.
Who is this Mop-Up Exam For?
This mop-up examination is not for everyone. It is only for special candidates who meet any of the following conditions:
5,096 Spill-Over Candidates: These are candidates who couldn’t write their exams during the earlier dates of UTME because of problems like power failure, network errors, or other issues caused by the Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres.
Candidates with Biometric Problems: Some students could not do the fingerprint verification during the main exam. Without fingerprint verification, JAMB does not allow anyone to take the test to prevent cheating. Now, they have another chance.
91,742 Absentee Candidates: These are candidates who were absent either in the main UTME or during the resit. They have been given one last opportunity to write the exam. This is a special offer only for 2025. If they miss this one too, there will be no more chances.
In total, 96,838 candidates across 183 centres in Nigeria have been chosen for this mop-up exam. Some other candidates are on standby, waiting in case more space becomes available.
