The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has commenced the nationwide accreditation of 848 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), starting Monday, December 15, 2025.
Strict Technical Standards for 2026 CBT Centres
- Automated Pre-Test: According to JAMB's IT Consultant, Mr. Damilola Bamiro, only centres that passed the mandatory automated system-readiness test qualified for physical inspection.
- Hard-Wired CCTV & UPS Backup: Accreditation teams are verifying that every centre has hard-wired HIKVision 16-channel CCTV coverage and that all network switches are connected to Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units.
With CBT centre accreditation underway, 2026 UTME registration is right around the corner. Start your exam preparation today on the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
