JAMB FIXES JUNE 13 FOR 2026 UTME MOP-UP EXAMINATION

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board 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Tertiary Matriculation Examination for candidates affected by technical challenges, biometric verification issues, and withdrawn results from the 2026 exercise.

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those who could not be verified biometrically despite presenting themselves, and candidates whose results were withdrawn over alleged examination infractions.

It 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.

The mop-up examination is expected to conclude the 2026 UTME process, paving the way for admission consideration processes that will combine UTME scores, Post-UTME , and O-Level requirements as determined by individual institution.
