JAMB Mop-Up Examination Date 2026
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced the date for the 2026 UTME Mop-Up examination. The examination is scheduled to hold on Saturday, June 13, 2026, for candidates who have been approved to participate in the exercise.
The JAMB Mop-Up examination is not open to every UTME candidate. It is specifically for candidates who were unable to complete the main UTME due to technical issues, biometric verification problems, or other reasons approved by JAMB. If your name is among the candidates selected for the mop-up examination, you are expected to print your examination notification slip and prepare for the examination before the scheduled date.
In this article, you'll find the official JAMB Mop-Up examination date, who is eligible to write the examination, what you should do before the exam, how to print your examination slip, and other important information you need to know.
JAMB Mop-Up Examination Date 2026
JAMB has fixed Saturday, June 13, 2026, for the conduct of the 2026 UTME Mop-Up examination. The examination is for candidates who have been officially scheduled by the Board after the main UTME.
If you have been selected, don't assume your examination details will remain the same as they were during the main UTME. JAMB may assign you a different CBT centre, reporting time, or examination session. This is why every eligible candidate is advised to print their examination notification slip before the examination.
Your slip contains your examination date, reporting time, CBT centre, centre address, and other important instructions. Take time to read through the information carefully and make sure you know exactly where your examination centre is located before the exam day.
If you have not been notified by JAMB or you cannot access your examination slip, it may mean you were not included in the mop-up exercise. Continue checking your JAMB profile and official announcements for any new updates.
What You Need to Do Before the JAMB Mop-Up Examination
Now that the examination date has been announced, there are a few things you should do before the exam day.
- The first is to print your JAMB Mop-Up examination slip as soon as the portal opens. Your slip will tell you your examination venue, reporting time, and other important details you need to know.
- After printing your slip, confirm the location of your CBT centre. If the centre is somewhere you have never been before, try to visit the area before the examination day. This will help you avoid getting lost or arriving late.
How to Print the JAMB Mop-Up Examination Slip
Printing your JAMB Mop-Up examination slip is straightforward.
- Visit the official JAMB Mop-Up slip printing portal and enter your JAMB Registration Number or the email address you used during registration. Click on Print Examination Slip, and if you have been scheduled for the examination, your slip will be displayed.
- Carefully check that your name, examination date, reporting time, and CBT centre are correct before downloading and printing the slip. It is advisable to print at least two copies and keep them safe until after your examination.
- If you experience any difficulty printing your slip, confirm that you entered the correct details. If the problem persists, visit an accredited JAMB CBT centre for assistance or wait for further updates from JAMB.
