The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has scheduled Saturday, August 6, 2022, as the date for its MopUp UTME in order to provide equal chances to all applicants seeking tertiary education.
It should be noted that, as is the Board’s custom after each Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the various reports from its officials in the field and video footage of the examination are reviewed by its team of experts in an effort to identify activities subversive to the examination process. The Management would determine the necessity of a mop-up examination for which group of candidates only after all the reports have been compiled and reviewed.
Following a thorough investigation of the conduct of the 2022 UTME in ten centres spread across five states of the federation (as indicated below), where examination misconduct was revealed, it became essential to cancel the results of all candidates who sat the examination in the ten centres.
The Board also took note of the fact that some innocent candidates had to sit their exams at these locations.
