2021 UTME: Jamb Conducts Mop-up Utme

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has successfully conducted the 2021 Mop-Up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. The examination was held nationwide on 6th July 2021.


Prior to the conduct of the examination, the Board had specified the targeted categories of candidates as: those who could not be initially scheduled for examination owing to their inability to timely procure and supply their mandatory NINs or profile codes until after the close of the registration exercise and, therefore, had to purchase Bank Drafts as against the usual vending of pins to be registered.


The other set comprised those who encountered peculiar biometric verification problems, or who failed biometric verification on the examination date and were recaptured but were not allowed to partake in the examination.


Similarly, those who were unable to sit the UTME owing to the clash of timetables of the UTME and the then ongoing NABTEB examinations and whose particulars were supplied directly to JAMB by NABTEB.


Also, the examination was meant for candidates who were ascertained by JAMB to have experienced genuine rescheduling/technical problems as was the case in 30 of the 760 centres used for the examination.


The examination was held in 92 centres nationwide including the Board’s Professional Testing Centres and the Ikoyi Correctional Facility.


The primary objective of the exercise, according to the Board, was to ensure that eligible candidates who had indicated their intention to sit for the examination got the opportunity to do so.


The result of the examination has since been released and affected candidates are requested to assess their results using their registration number on www. jamb.gov.ng.
