The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced Saturday, June 28, 2025, as the date for the conduct of its mop-up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

According to a statement signed by the Board’s Public Communications Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday, the mop-up examination was being organised to accommodate 5,096 candidates who could not be verified biometrically during the main exercise conducted earlier.

The JAMB spokesman, who noted that this applies strictly to the 2025 UTME cycle, said the mop-up examination is also for another 91,742 candidates, who were absent in either the main or the rescheduled examinations.

In total, 96,838 candidates have been scheduled to sit for the mop-up examination across 183 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide. A few others are on standby pending further investigation and validation of their status.

“This examination will accommodate the 5,096 spill-over candidates and those who failed biometric verification during the main exercise. Also, due to the special dispensation granted to absentee candidates of the main and resit examinations, 91,742 candidates who were absent in both or either of the main and resit examinations would also be given this opportunity which is only for 2025 UTME.

“Thus 96,838 candidates are being rescheduled for the 2025 mop up exercise in 183 centres across the nation while others are kept on standby,” he stated.

The Board said it has continued its crackdown on examination malpractice and technical incompetence among CBT centres.

Following infractions observed during the mock, main, and resit UTME examinations, several centres have come under scrutiny. In line with the outcome of ongoing investigations, a total of 113 CBT centres have now been either suspended or delisted from further participation in JAMB activities, according to the statement.

Benjamin further revealed that the centres were implicated in varying degrees of malpractice, ranging from technical sabotage to direct involvement in aiding impersonation and other illicit practices.

He said that due to the scale of malpractice uncovered, certain examination towns have been deactivated and will not be used in the mop-up examination. Candidates who had been initially assigned to these towns will now be relocated to the nearest available centres.

“We understand the inconvenience this might cause, and we appeal for the understanding and cooperation of all affected candidates,” the Board added in the statement.
