The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Monday, said it would announce date for mop-up examination for candidates who missed the 2025 Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination (UTME) due to failed biometrics and those registered to take the examination at its eight foreign centres.
The board disclosed this in its weekly bulletin made available to EDUCATION ROADMAP on Monday.
The Board added that the mop-up exam would also accommodate candidates who “missed their initial examination due to unacceptable reasons but granted pardon.”
Recall that JAMB earlier conducted a resit for candidates who experienced difficulties in Lagos and centres in the South East.
The bulletin read: “The date for the mop-up examinations for candidates who missed their 2025 UTME scheduled examination will be announced shortly.
“This includes candidates whose biometrics failed during verification, those registered to take the examination at the Board’s eight foreign centres, and others in similar situations.”
Though yet to state a specific date, the board indicated that the date for the exam would be made known this month.
“The board routinely conducts mop-up examinations for candidates facing biometric challenges, as well as for those in foreign centres.
“Candidates are advised to disregard any social media posts suggesting specific dates. The board will make an official announcement once the date is confirmed.”
