JAMB Mop-Up Exam Date 2026

JAMB has fixed Saturday, June 13, 2026, as the date for the conduct of the mop-up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination for candidates who presented themselves and were biometrically verified but could not sit for the examination.

This is not a flexible date. JAMB stated that there will be no further opportunity for any candidate to sit the 2026 UTME after this mop-up exercise. June 13 is the end of the road for the 2026 UTME cycle. If you are listed and you miss it, there is no appeal, no second chance, and no rescheduling. The next time you can sit JAMB will be the 2027 UTME exercise.

What Is a Mop-Up Exam in JAMB?

Many candidates searching for this information have never encountered the term before. A mop-up examination is a special sitting organized by JAMB to give a second chance to candidates who could not complete the main UTME for reasons that were beyond their control.

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. It is not for candidates who simply did not show up, forgot their details, or voluntarily missed the exam.

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those who could not be verified biometrically despite presenting themselves, and candidates whose results were withdrawn over alleged examination infractions.

JAMB Mop-Up Eligibility — Who Qualifies?

You qualify for the 2026 JAMB mop-up examination if you fall into any of these categories:

• You registered for the 2026 UTME, presented yourself at your exam centre, were biometrically verified, but the exam could not hold at your centre due to technical failure
• You presented yourself and attempted biometric verification but the system could not verify you despite you being the legitimate candidate
• Your result was withdrawn by JAMB following investigations into examination infractions at your centre, and JAMB has listed you among those to resit

You do NOT qualify for the mop-up if: - You simply did not show up for the main exam - You are a new candidate who did not register for the 2026 UTME - Your result has been released and you are unhappy with your score - You missed the exam for personal reasons not related to JAMB's technical issues

JAMB has listed candidates who presented themselves for the 2026 UTME but could not take the examination. Your name must be on JAMB's official list for you to access the mop-up slip. If your name is not on the list, the portal will not generate a slip for you.

JAMB Mop-Up Reprinting Portal — How to Print Your Slip

The official mop-up reprinting portal is at jamb.gov.ng/mop-up. The process is straightforward:

1. Visit jamb on your phone or computer or click here
2. Enter your JAMB registration number
3. The portal confirms if you are listed for the mop-up
4. If listed, your Examination Notification Slip is generated
5. Download and print the slip immediately
6. Confirm your exam centre address, date, and batch time on the slip

Print multiple copies. Keep one with you and leave one at home. Do not rely only on a digital copy on your phone — many exam centres do not accept phone screens as a substitute for a printed slip.

Reprinting on the JAMB portal is completely free. If you use a cybercafe, you only pay for the printing itself, not for accessing the portal.

Has JAMB Mop-Up Reprinting Started?

Yes. Candidates in this category are advised to begin printing their Examination Notification Slips from Saturday, 6th June 2026. Reprinting is currently live and active on the mop-up portal. If you have not yet printed your slip, do it immediately. The exam holds on June 13, 2026, and any candidate who arrives without the printed slip may be denied entry into the exam hall.

How to Print JAMB Mop-Up Slip — Step by Step

Visit jamb.gov.ng/mop-up. Log in with your JAMB registration number. If the system confirms your eligibility, your slip will be generated. Download it as a PDF, open it, and print it.

What your mop-up notification slip contains: - Your name and photograph - Your JAMB registration number - Your assigned exam centre name and full address - Your exam date (June 13, 2026) - Your batch time (Session 1 or Session 2) - Your seat number

Read every detail on the slip carefully. Candidates posted to centres outside their registration state are not unusual. Plan your travel the day before the exam if necessary.

How to Check JAMB Mop-Up Exam Date

Your individual exam date is printed directly on your Examination Notification Slip. For the 2026 mop-up, the confirmed date for all affected candidates is Saturday, June 13, 2026. Unlike the main UTME which ran across multiple days, the mop-up is a single-day event.

To confirm your specific batch time and exam centre, you must print your slip from jamb.gov.ng/mop-up. That is the only source of truth for your individual exam details.

JAMB Mop-Up Exam Timetable and Schedule 2026

The 2026 mop-up exam schedule is as follows:

• Slip printing opens: Saturday, June 6, 2026
• Mop-up exam date: Saturday, June 13, 2026
• Exam centres: Accredited CBT centres as assigned on your notification slip
• Sessions: Two sessions (check your slip for your assigned session time)

Candidates should print early, check the centre and make all needed arrangements before the examination day. A late check can create problems, especially for candidates posted to centres outside their usual area.

Is JAMB Mop-Up Result Out for 2026?

As of today, June 7, 2026, the mop-up exam holds on June 13, 2026. The result has not yet been released because the exam has not yet taken place. Based on JAMB's pattern from the main UTME exercise, mop-up results are typically released within days to a couple of weeks after the exam.

The main 2026 UTME was conducted between April 16 and April 29, 2026, with results beginning to roll out from around April 18, meaning results came within 24 to 48 hours of each exam batch. Expect a similar or slightly longer timeline for mop-up results given the smaller number of candidates.

JAMB Mop-Up Result Checker — How to Check When It Is Out

When the mop-up result is released, check it through the following channels:

• JAMB portal: log in at jamb.gov.ng with your registration number and check your profile
• SMS: send your JAMB registration number to 55019 via any network
• USSD: dial #55019# on your phone and follow the prompts

Check all three channels in case one is congested. The SMS method is often the fastest for candidates in areas with limited internet access.

JAMB Mop-Up Exam Centre — How to Know Yours

Your exam centre details are printed on your Notification Slip. There is no separate list to check. The moment you print your slip from jamb.gov.ng/mop-up, your centre name and full address are right there.

If your assigned centre is far from your location, do not panic. JAMB assigns centres based on available CBT infrastructure, not proximity to your home. Book transport or accommodation the night before if necessary. Do not leave movement to the morning of June 13.

What Happens After the JAMB Mop-Up Exam?

After the mop-up examination, the following happens:

1. JAMB processes and releases results, typically within days to two weeks
2. Results are accessible through the portal and via SMS to 55019
3. Candidates with released results can then proceed with Post UTME registration at their chosen institutions
4. Change of institution or course remains available on the JAMB portal for eligible candidates

JAMB's minimum admissible cut-off marks were approved at 150 for universities, 150 for colleges of nursing, and 100 for polytechnics, with institutions retaining discretion to set higher benchmarks for competitive courses.
