The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially opened its portal for eligible candidates to print their notification slips for the 2026 Mop-Up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), which is scheduled to take place on June 13.
Eligibility and Purpose
According to a statement signed by JAMB's Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the mop-up examination is specifically designed for candidates who missed the main UTME due to technical issues or were unable to complete biometric verification during the earlier exercise. This serves as the final opportunity for the 2026 admission cycle.
Instructions for Candidates
Candidates have been advised to visit the official JAMB website and print their slips ahead of the examination. The board urges all affected candidates to familiarize themselves with their examination centres and comply with all instructions provided on their slips, which contain essential details such as examination dates, times, and venues.
“Affected candidates should visit the official JAMB website immediately to access slips with their specific exam center, date, time, and venue instructions,” the statement read.
Final Opportunity
JAMB emphasized that the mop-up exercise represents the final opportunity for eligible candidates to sit for the 2026 UTME. Candidates are therefore encouraged to act promptly and ensure they have all necessary information well ahead of the examination date.
