The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in Lagos State has made it mandatory for all UTME and Direct Entry candidates to register at an accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre for the 2025/2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
This blog post provides a comprehensive list of JAMB-approved CBT centres in Lagos State, explains the importance of using accredited centres, and addresses common questions.
Why You Must Use JAMB-Accredited CBT Centres
1. Ensuring a Valid and Error-Free Registration Process
Accredited CBT centres strictly follow JAMB’s guidelines, ensuring that your registration details are correctly entered and submitted. This reduces the chances of errors such as:
- Wrong subject combinations
- Incorrect personal details (e.g., name, date of birth, NIN)
- Mistakes in the choice of institution and course
Since JAMB does not allow corrections after registration closes, using an accredited centre helps prevent future complications.
2. Avoiding Fraudulent Centres That Can Compromise Your Admission Process
Many unauthorized agents and cyber cafés claim to offer JAMB registration services but are not approved by JAMB. Registering at such places can lead to serious problems, including:
- Fake registration, which may prevent you from sitting for the UTME
- Loss of money due to excessive or hidden charges
- Data breaches or identity theft
To stay safe, always verify the legitimacy of a CBT centre before registering.
3. Getting Official JAMB Support and Assistance When Needed
Accredited CBT centres have trained personnel who can assist candidates with:
- Proper biometric verification and passport capture
- Guiding candidates through the registration and exam process
- Troubleshooting technical issues during the exam
- Providing official receipts and documents needed for future reference
