The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the mop-up examination for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will hold on Saturday, June 13, 2026.
According to a statement issued by the board’s Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin, the exercise is meant for candidates who were biometrically verified but were unable to sit for the main examination due to technical or other related challenges.
He explained that the mop-up exercise represents the final stage of the 2026 UTME cycle and is designed to address all outstanding cases involving eligible candidates.
Candidates expected to participate are advised to begin printing their examination notification slips from Saturday, June 6, 2026, ahead of the exercise.
JAMB noted that the arrangement is part of its efforts to ensure that no eligible candidate is left out of the admission process due to avoidable technical disruptions.
