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

The board said the mop-up examination will take place on Saturday, June 13, 2026.

The announcement was made in a statement issued on Sunday by JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.

According to the statement, the notification slip contains vital information required for the examination, including candidates’ examination centres, dates, and other essential details.

“The notification slip contains vital information, including the candidate’s examination centre, date, time, and other important instructions necessary for a seamless examination exercise,” the statement said

JAMB explained that the mop-up exercise was arranged for candidates who were unable to sit for the earlier UTME due to technical challenges, as well as those whose biometric verification could not be completed during the main examination.

“Eligible candidates are advised to visit the Board’s website and click on ‘Print 2026 Mop-Up UTME Slip’ to access and print their slips.

Candidates are strongly advised to print their slips well ahead of the examination date and familiarise themselves with their examination centres to avoid last-minute difficulties,” the statement added.

JAMB also stressed that the mop-up examination represents the final opportunity for eligible candidates to participate in the 2026 UTME, adding that no further examination would be conducted after the exercise.

Candidates were therefore advised to take advantage of the opportunity and make adequate preparations.
