JAMB DELISTS 23 UTME CBT CENTRES

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has delisted 23 Computer-Based Test centres over technical deficiencies.

The affected centres are located in Abia, Anambra, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Oyo and Plateau states.

This was contained in a statement issued by the JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, on Friday.

The board stated that the centres were found to have failed to meet required standards during the 2026 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination held on March 28, 2026.

The statement read, “Following the conduct of the 2026 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, JAMB has delisted 23 Computer-Based Test centres for technical deficiencies.”

Some of the delisted centres include DE-LITE CBT CENTRE, Model Secondary School, Maitama, Lake Chad Avenue, Maitama, Abuja; The Oracle Lens, Ubili Town Hall, Nnokwa, Anambra State; SAF Polytechnic, along Iseyin-Oyo Road, Idi-Ori, Iseyin, Oyo State; and Greenhills Academy, Cele Bus Stop, Oke-Ola, Itele Road.

The board also issued warnings to 88 centres with minor technical issues.

It further stated that HA-SHEM Academy, 15 Owodunni Street, off Iwaya Road, Yaba, Lagos, would no longer be used for any of the board’s examinations.

The statement added, “The Mock UTME, introduced to enable candidates familiarise themselves with the Computer-Based Test environment, also serves as a critical platform for the Board to assess its level of preparedness. It provides an opportunity to identify centres that fall short of the required operational and technical standards.

“In the aftermath of the 2026 Mock UTME, the Board’s internal review mechanisms identified a number of centres that failed to meet these standards.

Consequently, the Board has taken decisive steps, in line with its commitment to maintaining the integrity of its examination processes, to ensure that only centres that are fully prepared and compliant participate in the main UTME exercise.”
