How to Choose a CBT Centre During JAMB Registration
While registering for the UTME, candidates are allowed to select a preferred town where they want to take their exam. However, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board assigns the final examination centre based on available space.
It is advisable to choose a location close to where you live to reduce travel stress on the examination day. Candidates should also complete their registration early so they can secure a convenient centre.
Before the exam, candidates should print their examination slip to confirm the exact CBT centre, date, and time assigned to them.
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.
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.
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.
