UTME MOP-UP EXAMINATION TO HOLD ON SATURDAY, 13TH JUNE, 2026
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has fixed Saturday, 13th June, 2026 for the conduct of the UTME mop-up examination for all candidates who presented themselves and were biometrically verified for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) but were unable to sit the examination for one reason or another.
The 2026 UTME was conducted between 16th and ended on the 29th April, 2026. However, some centres experienced technical challenges which made it impossible for a number of candidates to sit the examination. In addition, some results were subsequently withdrawn over examination infractions, while some candidates who presented themselves for the examination could not be verified biometrically. All such candidates have been listed for the mop-up examination.
The mop-up examination represents the final phase of the annual UTME exercise and serves as an opportunity to address all outstanding examination challenges involving candidates who duly presented themselves but encountered difficulties in taking the examination.
Candidates in this category are advised to begin printing their Examination Notification Slips from Saturday, 6th June, 2026.
Affected candidates are hereby urged to print their Examination Notification Slips, familiarise themselves with their examination centres, and make all necessary arrangements ahead of the examination date, as there will be no further opportunity for any candidate to sit the 2026 UTME after this mop-up exercise.

Commendable action from @JAMBHQ for reaching out to my student who had biometric capturing issue on the day she was scheduled to write her exam.
Our hands are crossed till everything gets fully resolved.
I also hope that every student denied access to write will be rescheduled
Dear @JAMBHQ , @FabianB58246501
I write to you on behalf of a student of mine from the recently concluded JAMB examination.
She was denied the access to write her UTME exam because of biometric failure on the day and hour she was meant to write the exam.
This is unsolicited, but it is part of the justice that I demand. @JAMBHQ@FabianB58246501
Please, release an official memo addressing the challenges that hindered some students from writing their exams
An official memo builds hope, hearsays cannot be trusted. I’ve been there!

Hello @JAMBHQ@FabianB58246501
It will be unfair if at the end, these students are still unable to write their exam.
This is me speaking from experience, students get affected on a yearly basis.
Please, look into this and let them have equal access as their colleagues.

Now, it has happened again and there should be a solution. Her money and efforts for preparing for so long attending tutorials and reading tirelessly shouldn’t just go in vain.
I would sincerely appreciate a proper feedback, or a follow up action from the @JAMBHQ .

I reached out to every necessary quarters, called the Abuja hot line, dropped messages on X, visited JAMB office in Ibadan, submitted my name at the point where the whole glitch happened, yet all efforts to get a rescheduling were not regarded nor rewarded.
Meanwhile, till now, the body has not issued any official memo to that effect.
I am very much interested in this because in 2019, myself and a number of students had the same issue at Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, now Emmanuel Alayande University of Education.
@FabianB58246501 Good day, please I would like to make an inquiry on @JAMBHQ decision to help those who couldn’t write their exams due to biometrics failure.
I am concerned about this on behalf of one of my students, and solely because I have been a victim of it in the past.
