JAMB Urges Candidates To Print Mop-Up UTME Slips As Only Few Comply
  • PublishedJune 27, 2025

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has expressed worry over the low number of candidates who have printed their notification slips ahead of the Mop-up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, June 28, 2025.

According to a statement signed by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr Fabian Benjamin, only 12,442 out of 98,232 registered candidates had printed their slips as of Friday – a figure representing just 12.6% participation.

The board said, “We strongly encourage all candidates, particularly those who missed the main examination, to print their notification slips promptly. This is a rare opportunity for them to participate in this year’s examination.

“The Board has scheduled the 2025 UTME mop-up examination for Saturday, 28th June, 2025. We urge all candidates who missed their previous examinations to reprint their slips to ensure they do not miss this opportunity.

“The Board is actively monitoring the printing process to determine the number of candidates who will be present for the examination. Meanwhile, we have deployed both human and material resources to facilitate this exercise, ensuring that all registered candidates have the opportunity to sit the examination.

“Please note that failure to print the examination notification slip will result in forfeiture of the opportunity to take the examination.

“Once again, we urge all candidates to proceed immediately to print their slips for the examination scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, 28th June, 2025.”
