The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set Saturday, June 13, 2026, for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mop-up exercise. This session is for candidates who were biometrically verified during the 2026 UTME but could not write the exam due to technical issues at some test centres. The main UTME was held between April 16 and April 23, 2026, but disruptions prevented some candidates from completing the examination.
Candidates whose results were withdrawn because of examination infractions are also included in the mop-up list. Additionally, those who showed up for the exam but could not be verified through biometric means despite being present are eligible. JAMB stated that the mop-up exercise marks the final phase of the 2026 UTME and will resolve all pending cases involving qualified candidates.
Affected candidates can begin printing their Examination Notification Slips from Saturday, June 6, 2026. JAMB advised them to confirm their examination centres and prepare adequately ahead of the June 13 date. The board emphasized that no further opportunity will be given for the 2026 UTME after this mop-up session.
Fabian Benjamin, JAMB's Public Communication Advisor, confirmed the details in a statement issued by the board.
Candidates who missed the main 2026 UTME due to technical issues or biometric verification problems now have one final chance to sit the exam on June 13, 2026. Eligible students must print their Examination Notification Slips starting June 6 and prepare to take the test, as no additional sessions will be held after this date.
