The joint admissions and matriculation board has expressed concern on the low number of candidates who have printed their examination notification slips.
The slip will authorise them to sit in the coming mop-up examination
This is revealed in a statement by Fabian Benjamin, the spokesperson of the board, on Friday, June 27.
“As of this morning, 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. This is a rare opportunity for them to participate in this year’s examination.”

The Board scheduled the 2025 UTME mop-up examination for Saturday, 28th June, 2025.
According to the statement, “We urge all candidates who missed their previous examinations to reprint their slips to ensure they do not miss this opportunity.
The Board said it is actively monitoring the printing process to determine the number of candidates, who will be present for the examination.
It noted that it 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.
“Once again, we urge all candidates to proceed immediately to print their slips for the examination scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, 28th June, 2025.”
