Ahead of the 2023 UTME and Direct Entry registration exercise, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has delisted several Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres used in the previous year over poor facilities, non-compliance with operational guidelines, and examination malpractice.
States Affected by the CBT Centre Reduction
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed the development during a stakeholders' meeting with state Commissioners for Education in Ikeja, Lagos. While the nationwide figure of delisted centres was not stated, notable reductions include:
- Ogun State: Reduced from 43 to 21 CBT centres.
- Abia State: Reduced from 21 to 14 CBT centres.
- Kogi State: Reduced from 17 to 16 CBT centres.
Why You Should Register Early
Because the Association of Tutorial School Operators has raised concerns that fewer CBT centres could lead to candidates being posted to distant towns if nearby centres fill up, we strongly advise you to register early once the portal opens so you can secure an examination town close to your residence.
Remember that the 2023 Mock exam holds on 16th March 2023. Prepare ahead using the Mentra JAMB CBT app on Android and iOS for full offline CBT practice.
