In this blog post, we'll provide a complete, updated list of all approved centres across Jos, Barkin-Ladi, Mangu, Langtang, Pankshin, and more. We’ll also explain why accreditation is important and share practical tips for a smooth registration and exam experience.
Let’s dive right in!
Why You Must Choose a JAMB-Accredited Centre
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has introduced several strict measures to ensure a transparent, fair, and efficient testing process. One of the most crucial among them is the requirement that all candidates must use only accredited CBT centres for both registration and examination.
Here’s why:
-
Authenticity of Registration: Registration outside JAMB-approved centres is illegal. Any application done elsewhere will be considered null and void.
-
Enhanced Security: Accredited centres are equipped with biometric systems, CCTV monitoring, and verified personnel to guarantee the integrity of each candidate’s registration and examination.
-
Better Facilities: These centres are mandated to have a minimum of 250 working computers (plus backups), steady internet access, standby generators, and well-ventilated exam halls.
-
Reduced Risk of Scams: Non-accredited centres often promise faster service but may defraud candidates or register them incorrectly.
👉 Before you register, always double-check the latest list of approved centres directly from JAMB’s official website.
