The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that candidates scheduled for the 2026 Mop-Up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination can now print their examination notification slips ahead of the exercise.

The mop-up examination is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026, according to a statement issued on Sunday by JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.

“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 read.

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