JAMB Delists 23 CBT Centres Ahead of 2026 UTME

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially delisted 23 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres across Nigeria following technical issues recorded during the 2026 mock UTME.

This move is part of JAMB’s ongoing effort to ensure a smooth, fair, and credible examination process for all candidates sitting for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Why Were the Centres Delisted?

According to JAMB, the affected centres failed to meet the required operational standards during the mock examination.

Some of the major issues reported include:

• Technical failures during the exam
• Delayed commencement of examinations
• Inability to successfully conduct the test in some centres

These shortcomings raised concerns about the centres’ readiness for the main UTME, prompting immediate action.

Important Updates for Candidates

Candidates preparing for the 2026 UTME should take note of the following:

• The delisted centres will NOT be used for the main UTME
• A total of 88 other CBT centres have been placed under strict warning
• One centre has been completely banned from participating in future JAMB examinations
