Candidates can reprint their JAMB supplementary examination slip online by logging into the official portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng/PrintExaminationSlip, entering their candidate registration number, email address, or National Identification Number, and clicking the Print Examination Slip button to display and download their rescheduled Computer-Based Test centre venue, examination date, and session time.
The supplementary or mop-up examination is administered annually by the national examination body for specific categories of candidates who encountered genuine logistical, biometric, or technical difficulties during the main Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. These categories include candidates who experienced unresolvable biometric verification errors, candidates whose testing centres suffered prolonged power or server disruptions, or candidates who were formally rescheduled following comprehensive board compliance reviews. Candidates scheduled for this special diet must print an updated notification slip once the board activates the reprinting portal.
To reprint the rescheduled slip, the candidate opens a secure web browser on a desktop computer or mobile smartphone and navigates to the dedicated reprinting page. In the single login dialog box, the candidate inputs their 10-character candidate registration number, registered email address, or 11-digit National Identification Number. After submitting the query, the central server processes the request and generates the full-colour examination slip. The slip displays the candidate’s passport photograph, legal name, registered four-subject combination, newly assigned CBT centre name and physical street address, scheduled examination date, and session time.
Candidates must print at least two copies of this examination slip in full colour on standard A4 paper. Colour printing ensures that the biometric barcode, security watermarks, and candidate facial features are clearly visible for centre security verification. Candidates are strongly advised to locate their assigned CBT centre physically at least twenty-four to forty-eight hours before their scheduled exam day. Knowing the exact transportation route and commute duration prevents tardiness, as the board strictly enforces a zero-tolerance policy for late arrivals.
The administrative guidelines enforced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board emphasize that candidates who were not officially shortlisted for the mop-up examination will receive an alert stating Examination Rescheduling Not Allowed.
Technological standards supervised by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria ensure that accredited testing centres maintain functional computer terminals, backup generators, and certified biometric scanners.
Reprinting the supplementary examination slip early allows shortlisted candidates to approach their rescheduled assessment with composure, ensuring they conclude their national entrance examination successfully.
Candidates shortlisted for the mop-up examination should also review past question papers across all four registered subjects to maintain their cognitive preparedness. Arriving at the designated testing venue early on examination morning eliminates unneeded tension, allowing candidates to undergo biometric verification calmly and complete their national assessment without logistical disruptions.
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.
Very informative post. I wish our secondary school guidance counselor had explained this so thoroughly.
Extremely clear and helpful explanation. This cleared up the exact questions my study group was having regarding this process.
Great article. The distinction you highlighted between the institutional requirements and the general regulations is very important.
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 for this detailed guide! The step-by-step breakdown makes it very straightforward to navigate.
Bookmarking this right away. This is by far the most detailed article on this topic I have come across online.
This was really helpful and timely. Thank you for consistently publishing reliable educational resources for students across Nigeria.
Very practical breakdown. It is reassuring to find verified information without all the rumors circulating on social media.
Thank you EduTalks! My sister was worried about this exact issue yesterday, sharing this with her immediately.
