JAMB: Over 85,000 candidates at risk of missing mop-up UTME due to unprinted slips

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has expressed concern on the low number of candidates who have printed their examination notification slips ahead of the mop-up unified tertiary matriculation examination (UTME) on June 28.

In a statement issued on Friday,  Fabian Benjamin, the spokesperson of the board, said “only 12,442 out of the 98,232 scheduled candidates have printed their slips, reflecting a mere 12.6% participation rate”.

“We strongly encourage all candidates, particularly those who missed the main examination, to print their notification slips promptly,” the statement reads.

“This is a rare opportunity for them to participate in this year’s examination.

“We urge all candidates who missed their previous examinations to reprint their slips to ensure they do not miss this opportunity.”

Benjamin said the board said is  actively monitoring the printing process to determine the number of candidates who will be present for the examination.

He added  that the board  has deployed both human and material resources to facilitate this exercise, ensuring that all registered candidates have the opportunity to sit the examination.

“Please note that failure to print the examination notification slip will result in forfeiture of the opportunity to take the examination,” he said.

“Once again, we urge all candidates to proceed immediately to print their slips for the examination scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, 28th June, 2025.”
