If you registered for the 2025 UTME and you could not write the exam for one reason or the other, you need to pay full attention to this update. This is especially useful for candidates whose exams were cancelled or who had issues with biometric verification.
Let me explain it clearly and simply so that everybody can understand it, even if you are reading this for the first time.
JAMB To Hold Mop-Up Exam for 96,838 Candidates
Now, what does mop-up mean? A mop-up exam is an extra exam organised by JAMB for candidates who missed or were unable to complete the main UTME for genuine reasons.
According to JAMB's spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, candidates should begin to print their examination slips starting from Monday, 23rd June 2025.
If you are among the affected candidates, you need to print your slip early so you will know your exam centre, the date, and the exact time of your exam. This blog post will walk you through everything you need to do, step by step, in very simple English. Keep reading.
What Is the JAMB Mop-Up Exam Slip?
Every time JAMB holds a special mop-up exam — whether due to technical issues, absent candidates, or biometric failures — they provide each candidate with a mop-up exam slip.
This slip has important information such as:
-
Your name
-
The centre where you will write
-
The date and time of your exam
-
Your exam session (morning or afternoon)
It is essential, and you must carry it on exam day. You cannot gain entry without it.
