JAMB Opens Portal for Printing 2026 Mop-Up UTME Examination Slips

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that candidates eligible for the 2026 Mop-Up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now print their examination notification slips ahead of the scheduled exercise.

According to the examination body, the mop-up examination will take place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, providing another opportunity for candidates who were unable to participate in the main UTME.

In a statement released by JAMB’s Public Communications Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, candidates were informed that the examination notification slip contains important details needed for the examination process.

The slip provides essential information such as the candidate’s examination centre, examination date, reporting time, and other instructions designed to ensure a smooth examination experience.

JAMB explained that the mop-up examination was specifically arranged for candidates who missed the earlier UTME due to technical difficulties and those whose biometric verification could not be successfully completed during the main examination.

Eligible candidates have been advised to visit the official JAMB portal and print their examination slips as soon as possible. The Board also encouraged candidates to familiarize themselves with their assigned examination centres before the examination day to avoid unnecessary delays or confusion.

The examination body emphasized that the mop-up exercise serves as the final opportunity for qualified candidates to participate in the 2026 UTME. It noted that no additional examination will be conducted after the mop-up exercise.

Candidates are therefore encouraged to make adequate preparations, follow all examination guidelines, and arrive at their centres on time to maximize this final opportunity.

Education stakeholders have described the mop-up examination as an important step in ensuring fairness and inclusiveness, allowing affected candidates to complete the admission process without being disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control.
