The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that candidates scheduled to participate in the 2026 Mop-Up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now print their examination notification slips.
According to a statement issued on Sunday by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, the mop-up examination is scheduled to hold on June 13, 2026.
The Board explained that the notification slip contains important information, including candidates’ examination centres, dates, examination times, and other instructions necessary for a smooth examination process.
JAMB urged all eligible candidates to visit its portal and print their slips ahead of the examination date. Candidates were also advised to familiarise themselves with their examination centres to avoid last-minute challenges on the day of the examination.
The mop-up examination is intended for candidates who were unable to sit for the main UTME due to technical issues or those whose biometric verification could not be successfully completed during the earlier exercise.
The Board stressed that the mop-up examination represents the final opportunity for eligible candidates to participate in the 2026 UTME, noting that no additional examination will be conducted after the exercise.
JAMB therefore encouraged affected candidates to take advantage of the opportunity and make adequate preparations ahead of the examination date.
