The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has expressed concern over the low number of candidates who have printed their examination notification slips, which are required to authorise participation in the upcoming examination.
JAMB spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, noted that as of this morning, only 12,442 out of the 98,232 scheduled candidates had 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,” he said.
“The Board has scheduled the 2025 UTME mop-up examination for Saturday, 28th June 2025. We urge all candidates who missed their previous examinations to reprint their slips to ensure they do not miss this opportunity.”
He added that the Board is actively monitoring the printing process to track the number of candidates expected to present themselves for the examination.
Dr Benjamin also stated that JAMB has deployed both human and material resources to facilitate the 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 warned.
“Once again, we urge all candidates to proceed immediately to print their slips for the examination scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, 28th June 2025,” he re-emphasised.
