Important Things to Know About JAMB CBT Centres
All candidates are expected to register and take their UTME only at centres accredited by the JAMB. Using unapproved centres can lead to registration errors or invalid examination records.
During registration, candidates can choose a centre close to their location. However, the examination centre and date will be assigned by JAMB after registration is completed.
Candidates are also advised to visit their assigned centre early on the examination day. This helps them settle down, complete biometric verification, and avoid unnecessary delays before the test begins.
Functions of JAMB CBT Accredited Centres
JAMB CBT accredited centres are important for making sure that the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) processes go smoothly and are the same all over Nigeria. These are the main things that JAMB CBT accreditation centres do.
Technical Support: Accredited centres offer real time technical support during the exam to fix any system problems or technical issues that come up, so there are as few interruptions as possible.
Data Transmission and Security: They are in charge of sending candidate data and answers to JAMB's central database in a safe way that keeps the data safe and private.
Providing Exam Guidelines: Staff at these centres help candidates through the exam process by making sure they know how to use the CBT platform and follow JAMB's rules and procedures.
Backup Facilities: Centres must have backup power sources and systems that work even when the main ones fail or go down.
UTME/DE Registration: These centres are in charge of officially signing up students for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE). They make sure that candidates enter correct academic and personal information.
Biometric Verification: Centres use biometric verification (taking fingerprints and pictures) during registration and on the day of the exam to make sure that each candidate is who they say they are and to stop impersonation.
Conducting the CBT Examinations: The centres host and run the actual JAMB CBT exams. They provide candidates with safe, standardised environments that have working computers and stable internet connections.
