The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has commenced the accreditation of computer-based test (CBT) centres for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
In a statement on Sunday, Fabian Benjamin, JAMB spokesperson, said CBT centres that participated in the 2024 UTME without any issue should proceed to register their interest through the board’s centre management system (CMS) portal.
The JAMB’s spokesperson said all new centres willing to participate in the 2025 UTME exercise should visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng/Pdfs/CBT_centre_requirements.pdf to view the requirements for establishing a JAMB-approved CBT centre.
“Following this, these centres should notify the board in writing of their intention to participate in the accreditation exercise,” the statement reads.
“This notification should be addressed to the registrar of JAMB through the zonal director or state coordinator in their respective states.
“The zonal and state offices will create accounts for new centres on the CMS portal to facilitate their registration.
“All centres must conduct an autobot/autotest on a date that will be communicated to them, as part of their preparation for the physical accreditation visit by the board’s team.
“It is essential to note that the autobot/autotest is mandatory; only centres that successfully complete this test and meet the necessary criteria will be eligible for a physical visit.”
Benjamin said only centres that qualify will receive information regarding the date for the physical accreditation exercise, scheduled for next month.
”Centres that do not achieve satisfactory results on the autobot/autotest will not be revisited,” he said.
“Centres that meet all stipulated requirements will be approved and included by the board for the 2025 UTME registration and examination.”
