The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has delisted 23 Computer-Based Test, CBT, centres for technical deficiencies ahead of the coming Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
The action followed the conduct of the 2026 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
The board also issued warnings to centres with minor technical issues, while one centre will no longer be used in any of the board’s examinations.
The announcement was made on Friday in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.
He said the Mock UTME introduced to enable candidates familiarise themselves with the Computer-Based Test, CBT, environment, also served as a critical platform for the Board to assess its level of preparedness.
He stated that it provided an opportunity to identify centres that fell short of the required operational and technical standards.
Benjamin declared that in the aftermath of the 2026 Mock UTME, the board’s internal review mechanisms identified a number of centres that failed to meet the standards.
Consequently, he announced that the board had taken decisive steps, in line with its commitment to maintaining the integrity of its examination processes, to ensure that only centres that were fully prepared and compliant participated in the main UTME exercise.
