The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has started accrediting Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers in preparation for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
In a statement issued on Sunday, JAMB’s Public Communication Adviser, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, highlighted the significance of the accreditation process in ensuring the smooth conduct of the annual examination.
New CBT centers interested in participating are advised to familiarize themselves with the guidelines outlined on the JAMB website. The statement provides detailed instructions:
“All new Computer-Based Test centers intending to participate in the 2025 UTME should visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng/Pdfs/CBT_centre_requirements.pdf to review the requirements for establishing a JAMB-approved CBT center.
“After reviewing the requirements, interested centers should notify the Board in writing, addressing their intent to the Registrar of JAMB through the Zonal Director or State Coordinator in their respective states.”
For centers that successfully participated in the 2024 UTME without issues, Benjamin noted that they are required to express their interest via the Centre Management System (CMS) Portal. New centers will have their accounts created on the CMS Portal by Zonal and State Offices to facilitate their registration process.
As part of the accreditation requirements, all centers must undergo an Autobot/Autotest, with specific dates to be communicated. The statement emphasized that only centers meeting the Board’s criteria through this test will advance to the next accreditation stage.
The physical accreditation exercise is set to begin in December 2024. Centers that complete the process will be eligible for inclusion in the 2025 UTME registration and examination. However, those failing to meet the required standards during the Autobot/Autotest will not be considered for accreditation.
JAMB reiterated its commitment to maintaining high standards, ensuring only qualifying centers are approved to guarantee a seamless examination process.
