The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has expressed concern over the low turnout of candidates who have printed their examination notification slips, an essential requirement to sit for the upcoming mop-up UTME.
In a statement issued by the Board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, JAMB revealed that as of the morning of Friday, the 27th of June, only 12,442 out of the 98,232 registered candidates have printed their slips, representing a mere 12.6% turnout.
“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,” he stated.
“The Board has scheduled the 2025 UTME mop-up examination for Saturday, 28th June, 2025, urging all candidates, who missed their previous examinations, to reprint their slips to ensure they do not miss this opportunity.
“In addition, the Board is also actively monitoring the printing process to determine the number of candidates who will be present for the examination.
“Meanwhile, we have 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,” he concluded.
