JAMB Mop-Up Slip 2026: How to Print Your Exam Notification Slip Before Saturday

If you missed the 2026 UTME due to technical problems or failed biometric verification, here is the news you have been waiting for. JAMB has officially opened the portal for mop-up candidates to print their examination notification slips, and the clock is ticking.

The mop-up exam holds on Saturday, June 13, 2026. That is just days away. If you have not printed your slip yet, this guide will walk you through everything you need to do right now.

What Is the JAMB Mop-Up Exam?

The JAMB Mop-Up UTME is a special examination organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board for candidates who were unable to sit for the main 2026 UTME. It is not for everyone. It is specifically for two groups of people.

The first group is candidates who could not write the original exam due to technical challenges at their CBT centres. The second group is candidates whose biometric verification could not be successfully completed during the main examination.

JAMB has made it crystal clear that this mop-up is the final opportunity for eligible candidates to sit the 2026 UTME. According to JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, no further examination will be conducted after this exercise. If you miss it, that is it for this cycle.

How to Print Your JAMB Mop-Up Slip (Step by Step)

This is the part that matters most. Follow these steps carefully and print your slip today, not tomorrow.

Step 1: Open your browser. Use Google Chrome for the best experience on Android or any device.

Step 2: Visit the official JAMB website at www.jamb.gov.ng or go directly to slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng.

Step 3: Look for the button that reads "Print 2026 Mop-Up UTME Slip" and tap on it.

Step 4: Enter your JAMB Registration Number or the GSM number you used during registration.

Step 5: Your examination details will appear on screen. Print at least two copies in full colour. Submit one at the exam hall and keep the second for yourself.

What Your Exam Slip Contains

Your JAMB mop-up notification slip carries critical information you need before and on exam day. When your slip loads, check for your assigned examination centre and its address, your exam date and reporting time, your subject combination, and the instructions and rules for the day.

Read every detail carefully. Confirm your centre is correct and use the days before Saturday to physically locate the venue if you are not familiar with the area.

The Portal Is Slow? Here Is What to Do

If you are having trouble loading the JAMB slip printing portal, you are not alone. JAMB servers can get congested when thousands of candidates hit the system at the same time. A few things that can help are listed below.

Keep refreshing the page and be patient. Try printing during off-peak hours such as early morning or late at night when traffic is lower. Switch to a stable Wi-Fi connection instead of mobile data if possible. Try a different device if one is not working. Visit a nearby cybercafe if you do not have access to a printer at home.

Slip printing is completely free of charge. You do not need to pay any fee or buy any pin to access your slip from the JAMB portal.

Lost Access to Your Email or Phone Number?

A lot of candidates run into this problem. If you can no longer access the email or phone number linked to your JAMB profile, here is what you should do.

First, try using your JAMB Registration Number instead of your email on the slip printing page. Many candidates do not realise this is an option.

If that does not work, visit your nearest JAMB State Office with valid identification and your original registration details. Staff can help you recover access or print your slip directly.

Do not wait until Friday night. Go today.

Important Rules for Exam Day

Printing your slip is step one. Showing up prepared on Saturday is step two.

Arrive early and do not rely on last-minute navigation. Bring your printed slip because no slip means no entry, and that is non-negotiable. Leave your phone, smartwatch, USB drive, earphones, ATM card, and jewellery at home because all of these are banned inside the exam hall. Be ready for biometric verification as your fingerprint will be checked. Do not bring any reading materials into the exam room.

Your subject combination is also final. No changes are allowed on exam day.

Why This Mop-Up Matters So Much

The original 2026 UTME was not smooth for everyone. Some CBT centres experienced technical failures. Some candidates could not complete biometric verification. These were not their fault, and JAMB acknowledged that by scheduling this mop-up exercise.

JAMB also reminded candidates that post-UTME screening is already beginning at several universities. Getting your UTME score is the first step toward admission. Missing this mop-up could mean waiting an entire year. That is too high a price to pay for a printout you can get today.
