Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has expressed concern regarding the low number of candidates who have printed their examination notification slips, which will authorise them to sit the upcoming examination.
JAMB said that as of Friday morning, only 12,442 out of the 98,232 scheduled candidates have printed their slips, reflecting a mere 12.6 per cent participation rate.
JAMB spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement, encouraged all candidates, particularly those who missed the main examination to quickly print their notification slips promptly describing it as a rare opportunity for them to participate in this year’s examination.
He noted that failure to print the examination notification slip will result in forfeiture of the opportunity to take the examination.
“Nevertheless, the Board is actively monitoring the printing process to determine the number of candidates who will be present for the examination. We have deployed both human and material resources to facilitate this exercise, ensuring that all registered candidates have the opportunity to sit the examination.”
JAMB had scheduled the 2025 UTME mop-up examination for Saturday, 28th June, 2025, for candidates who missed their previous examinations, but they must reprint their slips to ensure they do not miss the opportunity again.
