JAMB To Hold Mop-up Exam For 2025 UTME Candidates Who Missed Their Exams by ikutikut(op): 8:13pm On May 21, 2025

JAMB has announced a special mop-up exam for candidates who missed the 2025 UTME. This decision covers over 5.6% of all registered candidates who were unable to write the exam, regardless of the reason.

Why the Mop-Up Exam is Important
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja, JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, said the move ensures no candidate is left out due to unforeseen issues. He stressed that UTME is a placement test to rank candidates, not a measure of intelligence.

Addressing Concerns
Oloyede denied any claims of mismanagement or ethnic bias during the exam process, saying: “We must rise above ethnic profiling and misinformation. I take responsibility—not because I failed, but because that’s leadership.”

What’s Next?
The date for the mop-up exam will be announced soon. JAMB assured candidates of a fair and transparent process for admissions.

Stay tuned for updates and prepare ahead if you’re one of those affected.
