JAMB Accredited CBT Centres: How to Verify Approved Centres

Choosing a valid CBT centre is one of the most important parts of JAMB registration. JAMB runs accreditation exercises to ensure centres meet technical and operational standards before they can handle candidates.

If a centre is not properly accredited, your registration or exam experience can be affected. Always verify first.

What are JAMB Accredited CBT Centres?

JAMB accredited CBT centres are centres officially approved by the Board after system checks and physical validation. Accreditation reviews centre readiness, infrastructure, and compliance before UTME operations.

JAMB announcements on accreditation and centre validation are published through official communication channels.

Requirements and Key Information

• Official status: Register only at centres approved by JAMB for the current cycle.
• Technical readiness: Accreditation includes infrastructure and operational checks.
• Candidate safety: Approved centres reduce risks of failed uploads and data errors.
• Verification channels: Use official JAMB pages like https://portal.jamb.gov.ng/ and https://www.jamb.gov.ng/FAQ.

Step-by-Step Procedure

Step 1: Confirm current accreditation updates

1. Check official JAMB updates on accreditation exercise status.
2. Note any cycle-specific instructions for centres and candidates.
3. Avoid relying on screenshots without official source links.

Step 2: Verify the centre before payment

1. Ask for the centre’s approved status and current operational details.
2. Cross-check with official JAMB guidance channels.
3. Confirm the centre can handle full registration workflow correctly.

Step 3: Complete registration securely

1. Use your own data during registration and confirm all entries before submission.
2. Collect printouts immediately after any service.
3. Keep copies of receipts and registration evidence.

Step 4: Report suspicious centres

1. If a centre requests unofficial charges or refuses proper documentation, do not proceed.
2. Use official support options provided by JAMB guidance pages.
3. Move to another approved centre if necessary.

Important Notes

JAMB accreditation is updated by exam cycle, so previous approval does not always guarantee current approval without confirmation.

• Do not hand over your credentials to unverified operators.
• Avoid centres promising “special access” or score manipulation.
• Register early enough so you can switch centres if issues arise.
