The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has fixed Saturday, June 13, 2026, for the conduct of the mop-up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination for candidates affected by technical challenges, biometric verification issues, and withdrawn results from the 2026 exercise. The announcement was contained in a statement on Monday signed by the Board’s Public Communications Adviser, Fabian Benjamin.
According to JAMB, the mop-up examination is strictly for candidates who were duly registered and biometrically verified but were unable to sit the main examination due to disruptions. JAMB explained that the affected candidates include those whose centres experienced technical failures, those who could not be verified biometrically despite presenting themselves, and candidates whose results were withdrawn over alleged examination infractions.
The board added that the mop-up exercise represents the final stage of the 2026 UTME cycle, designed to resolve all outstanding cases arising from the main examination period. Candidates are expected to begin printing their examination notification slips from Saturday, June 6, 2026, ahead of the exercise, while also confirming their centres and making necessary arrangements.
