The move allows affected candidates to print examination slips containing details of examination centers, dates, and schedules.
The mop-up examination is designed to accommodate candidates who experienced technical challenges, biometric verification problems, or other disruptions during the main examination exercise.
Education stakeholders have welcomed the development, describing it as an important measure to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all candidates.
JAMB officials urged candidates to print their slips early, verify examination details, and comply strictly with examination guidelines.
The exercise forms part of broader efforts by the examination body to strengthen credibility, transparency, and public confidence in Nigeria’s tertiary admission process.
Education experts argue that access to higher education remains one of the most critical pathways for youth empowerment and national development.
