In a decisive move to maintain the integrity of its examination process, JAMB removed 23 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres that failed to meet operational and technical standards during the 2026 mock UTME.

The mock exam, conducted nationwide, exposed several issues such as:

  1. System failures preventing exams from starting
  2. Delayed login and server breakdowns
  3. Poor technical infrastructure at some centres

JAMB emphasized that the mock exam serves as a quality control mechanism, helping the board identify underperforming centres before the main UTME.

As a result:

  1. 23 centres were delisted
  2. Over 80 centres were warned
  3. At least one centre was permanently banned

States Affected by the Delisting

The affected CBT centres span multiple states, including:

  1. Lagos
  2. Oyo
  3. Ogun
  4. Osun
  5. Delta
  6. Edo
  7. Anambra
  8. Bayelsa
  9. Plateau
  10. Abia
  11. FCT (Abuja)

Some notable delisted centres include:

  1. Florin High School CBT Centre (Lagos)
  2. Great Kezino College CBT Centre (Ikorodu, Lagos)
  3. Oduduwa University CBT Centre (Osun)
  4. SAF Polytechnic CBT Centre (Oyo)

What This Means for JAMB Candidates

If your exam centre was among those delisted, your exam venue has automatically been changed by JAMB.

You will NOT write your exam at the original centre.

Instead, JAMB has reassigned affected candidates to new accredited CBT centres to ensure a smooth examination experience.
