To give all candidates who had Tindicated their desire to sit the UTME equal opportunity, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has approved 6th August 2022 for the conduct of mop-up examination for those who genuinely were at their various centres but could not sit the examination.
To check eligibility, the Board has directed all such candidates to print their mop-up notification slips from Monday, 1st August 2022, ahead of the exercise.
The Director, Information Technology Services, Mr Fabian Okoro made the announcement via a statement released to JAMBULLETIN on the development. According to the statement, the 2022 Mop-up notification slip is available for printing by candidates who have been rescheduled to sit the examination onSaturday, 6th August 2022.
The printing of the mop-up notification slip is compulsory for all mop-up candidates, as it enables them to know the venue, date, session and time of their examination. Affected candidates are advised to print the slips on time to know the location of their examination centres, and the time of the examination beforehand.
This would also guide them in making necessary arrangements ahead of the exercise as the Board frowns at lateness to its examination, as no excuses would be entertained from any candidates especially as it is a mop-up exercise.
Candidates need not visit any CBT centres for the printing of the mop-up notification slip as it can be done at any available internet point, be it private or public. To print the slip, candidates are to visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng then click on 2022 mop-up slip printing then insert registration number to print.”
The slip contains the candidates’ important details like registration number, the centre to which they are to sit the examination within their chosen examination town and the expected time to be at the centre.
It should be noted that candidates who, for whatever reasons, were absent at those centres are NOT eligible for the mop-up examination and so need not attempt to print as there won’t be any to print.
As expected in the Board’s examination, all candidates would be checked into the examination hall using the Biometric Verification Machine (BVM) which is also a register of attendance in line with the Board’s policy of No biometric verification, no examination.
Candidates are advised to prepare ahead and stay close to their examination venues, if possible, they should pay a prior visit to their centres before the date of the examination. Candidates are also reminded that the ban on prohibited items is still in force. Therefore, candidates should be careful not to run foul of the law as necessary sanctions would be meted out to violators of its code of conduct.
The list of the banned items within the examination hall includes but is not limited to flash drives, smart watches, calculators, recorders, mobile phones, spy reading glasses and jewellery, among others.
