The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has commenced the accreditation process for Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres ahead of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

JAMB commences accreditation of CBT centres for 2025 UTME

In a statement issued by JAMB's Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the board outlined the mandatory steps for both new and existing CBT centres seeking approval for the 2025 exercise.

Guidelines for New and Existing CBT Centres

  • New CBT Centres: Must review the official JAMB requirements and notify the Registrar of JAMB in writing through the Zonal Director or State Coordinator in their respective states. Zonal and State offices will then create accounts for eligible new centres on the Centre Management System (CMS) portal.
  • Existing Accredited Centres: Centres that participated in the 2024 UTME without infractions must register their interest directly via the CMS portal.
  • Mandatory Autobot/Autotest: All centres must conduct a mandatory Autobot/Autotest on a scheduled date. Only centres that pass the test will qualify for the physical accreditation visit in December 2024.

Start Preparing for the 2025 UTME

With CBT centre accreditation underway, the 2025 UTME registration will begin soon. Prospective candidates are advised to start studying early with the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
