Candidates can reprint their JAMB mop-up examination slip on the eFacility portal by navigating to efacility.jamb.gov.ng or the dedicated mop-up printing link, logging in with their registered email address and password or entering their registration number, clicking on Print Mop-Up Examination Slip, and generating an updated PDF document detailing their assigned test centre and examination time.
The JAMB mop-up examination is a specialized supplementary testing exercise conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board for candidates who experienced verified technical disruptions, unverified biometric fingerprint matching issues, or centre-wide server failures during the main Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. Because the mop-up test involves a re-allocation of candidates to designated, heavily secured computer-based test centres, affected candidates are issued entirely new examination schedules. Entering the examination hall requires presenting a freshly reprinted mop-up examination slip, as original slips from the regular diet become void.
To reprint the mop-up examination slip, the candidate opens an updated web browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox on a desktop computer or smartphone. The candidate navigates to efacility.jamb.gov.ng or the board’s public slip reprinting portal. If accessing through the profile dashboard, the candidate logs in using their registered email and password, locates the Mop-Up Examination Services module, and clicks Print Examination Slip. Alternatively, on the public portal, the candidate enters their ten-digit JAMB registration number or registered GSM number and clicks Print Examination Slip.
The central database processes the request and displays the certified mop-up examination slip in downloadable PDF format. The candidate must carefully inspect the printed slip to verify the newly assigned Computer-Based Test centre, the mop-up examination date, and the specific morning or afternoon session time. It is strongly recommended to print at least three clean color copies on white A4 paper. Candidates should also note that biometric verification at mop-up centres is exceptionally rigorous to eliminate examination malpractice.
The administrative guidelines enforced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board emphasize that candidates who fail to attend their scheduled mop-up examination session forfeit their UTME score for the entire academic cycle, as no further supplementary diets are scheduled.
Data security standards monitored by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria ensure that biometric identification protocols at all mop-up examination centres maintain forensic precision.
Reprinting the mop-up slip promptly prevents candidates from missing their assigned test sessions due to confusion over venues or dates.
Candidates should locate their mop-up examination centre a day prior to the test to prevent transit delays on examination morning.
Retaining certified duplicate printouts protects candidates against administrative queries during departmental screening and tertiary admissions clearance.
Ensuring punctuality and full compliance with examination hall regulations guarantees that candidates complete their supplementary testing smoothly.
Very practical breakdown. It is reassuring to find verified information without all the rumors circulating on social media.
Very informative post. I wish our secondary school guidance counselor had explained this so thoroughly.
Please, does this same policy apply to candidates who sat for WAEC GCE as private candidates rather than internal school candidates?
Thank you for asking. Yes, WAEC GCE (private candidate) certificates and results carry the exact same legal and academic validity as internal school candidate results for admission and institutional clearance purposes. When filling portal documentation, ensure your exam year, center number, and candidate number match your official result slip exactly.
Extremely clear and helpful explanation. This cleared up the exact questions my study group was having regarding this process.
Quick question please: if an applicant has already completed the initial registration, can changes still be made within the correction window without penalty?
Great question. Yes, most examination and admission bodies allow data corrections during the designated modification window before final data lock. However, ensure that any biometric, course, or institution amendments are processed strictly through accredited CBT or administrative centers to prevent profile suspension or upload mismatch.
Thank you EduTalks! My sister was worried about this exact issue yesterday, sharing this with her immediately.
Bookmarking this right away. This is by far the most detailed article on this topic I have come across online.
Thank you for this detailed guide! The step-by-step breakdown makes it very straightforward to navigate.
This was really helpful and timely. Thank you for consistently publishing reliable educational resources for students across Nigeria.
Great article. The distinction you highlighted between the institutional requirements and the general regulations is very important.
