The board explained that the mop-up exam would cover 5,096 spill-over candidates and those who failed biometric verification during the main exercise.
The statement added that 91,742 candidates who were absent from both or either of the main and resit examinations would also partake in the mop-up exams, thanks to the special dispensation granted by JAMB.
Candidates have therefore been instructed to start printing their notification slips from Monday, 23rd June.
“Saturday, 28th June has been approved for the conduct of the 2025 UTME mop-up examination.
“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.
