JAMB to conduct UTME mop-up exam June 13

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set Saturday, June 13, 2026, as the date for a mop-up examination for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This supplementary exam is intended for candidates who successfully completed their biometric verification for the 2026 UTME but were subsequently unable to sit for the examination due to unforeseen circumstances.

The decision aims to provide an opportunity for these eligible candidates to still participate in the tertiary education admissions process. The UTME is a crucial standardized test for entry into higher education institutions in Nigeria, and the mop-up exam ensures that candidates who faced impediments during the main examination period are not unfairly disadvantaged.

Further details regarding the examination centers, specific timings, and any additional requirements for candidates participating in the mop-up exam are expected to be communicated through official channels. This measure underscores JAMB's commitment to facilitating a fair and inclusive admissions process for all prospective university students in Nigeria.
