What Follows the CBT Centre Accreditation?

  • Both existing and newly applying CBT centres are being inspected across all 36 states and the FCT to ensure their computers, CCTV systems, and holding rooms meet JAMB's technical and safety standards.
  • Immediately after the accreditation of centres is completed, JAMB will announce the official commencement date for the sale of 2021 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) forms.
