JAMB CBT Centres: How to Find Approved Centres Near You

JAMB CBT centres are the only approved locations for biometric capture, final registration, and some post-registration services. Using the right centre protects your data and helps you avoid registration errors and fraud.

What are JAMB CBT Centres?

JAMB CBT centres are accredited computer-based test facilities approved by JAMB to handle candidate registration and examination operations. JAMB repeatedly advises candidates to use approved centres only.

Requirements/Key Information

• Approved-centre policy: JAMB registration is to be done through approved CBT centres.
• Accreditation status can change: Centres may be suspended or delisted for malpractice or technical failures.
• Bring valid details: Attend with NIN-linked details, profile information, and active email/phone.
• Use official portals: Confirm updates from https://portal.jamb.gov.ng/ and https://www.jamb.gov.ng/FAQ.
• Avoid roadside agents: Unauthorized operators can damage your application record.

Step-by-Step Procedure

Step 1: Identify centres in your state

1. Use the official JAMB portal ecosystem to find accredited centres.
2. Shortlist centres close to your location and verify that they are active.

Step 2: Verify centre legitimacy before payment

1. Confirm the centre name against official lists/announcements.
2. Do not submit biometric data at unofficial facilities.

Step 3: Complete registration or correction

1. At the centre, review your names, subjects, institution choices, and exam details before final submission.
2. Collect all printouts immediately after service completion.

Step 4: Keep records and monitor updates

1. Save transaction receipts and registration slips.
2. Recheck your profile through official portals if JAMB publishes new centre updates.

Important Notes

Do not wait until deadline week to visit a centre. High traffic and rushed corrections increase error risk. If a centre requests unofficial cash outside stated charges, stop and report through proper channels.
