Candidates who did not take the 2025 UTME were urged by JAMB to begin printing their registration slips on Monday, June 23.
The date of the 2025 UTME mop-up test is set for Saturday, June 28, according to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
In order to accommodate applicants who were unable to take the April exam, the board has already announced that it will reschedule the UTME for May.
JAMB requested that applicants who were unable to take the 2025 UTME begin printing their registration slips on Monday, June 23rd, in a statement released by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday.
Their testing locations and exam hour are listed on the slip.
96,838 applicants are expected to take the mop-up in 183 locations nationwide, according to JAMB.
According to the announcement, 91,742 students who missed the main and rescheduled UTME and 5,096 candidates who failed biometric verification during the main exercise would be accommodated in the mop-up.
JAMB said the first session for the examination day starts at 8 a.m.
“Candidates for the 8:00 a.m. session are therefore advised in their own interest to arrive one or one and a half hours before the actual commencement of the examination,” it said.
“Eligible and genuine candidates are advised to print their examination notification slips from Monday, 23 June 2025, in preparation for the mop-up examination scheduled for Saturday, 28 June 2025.”
Over two million candidates registered for this year’s UTME, out of which over 1.9 million have already sat the examination.
Apart from the UTME held in April, JAMB also conducted a rescheduled UTME for over 300,000 candidates in May after it found that a glitch affected their results.
The glitch affected candidates in 65 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres in Lagos State and 92 CBT centres across Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, and Enugu States.
JAMB found the errors after its UTME results, following widespread concerns of low scores by candidates with a track record of better performance in both the UTME and other examinations.
Mr Oloyede admitted the errors, apologised to the candidates and announced the rescheduling of the UTME for affected candidates.
