Every year, thousands of students in Abia State gear up for one of the most important steps in their academic journey—the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or Direct Entry (DE) organized by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). As part of JAMB’s efforts to ensure transparency, security, and standardization in the exam process, the body has authorized only a select group of centres for candidate registration and examination. These are known as JAMB-accredited CBT centres.
This article provides a comprehensive and updated list of accredited CBT centres in Abia State for the 2025 JAMB registration and exams, along with essential information you need to know before choosing where to register and take your test.
What Is a JAMB Accredited CBT Centre?
A JAMB-accredited CBT (Computer-Based Test) centre is an official location approved by JAMB to carry out both registration and examination processes. These centres are carefully selected based on strict criteria, including:
-
Minimum of 250 functional desktop computers (with 10% as backup)
-
Reliable internet access and seamless server communication
-
Functional generators and inverters to ensure uninterrupted power supply
-
Spacious and ventilated halls for ease of exam delivery
-
Biometric authentication devices
-
Certified and trained technical staff
-
CCTV cameras and security infrastructure
JAMB uses these centres to reduce exam malpractice, promote efficiency, and ensure candidates enjoy a smooth testing experience.
Why You Should Use Only a JAMB-Accredited CBT Centre
Registering for JAMB at an unauthorized centre—or worse, a random cyber café—could cost you dearly. Here are several reasons you must only register at a JAMB-approved CBT centre:
✅ Validity and Legitimacy
Only registrations processed through accredited centres are accepted by JAMB. If you register through an unrecognized outlet, your information may not be uploaded correctly, leading to complications or outright disqualification.
✅ Exam Security
JAMB uses biometric verification and CCTV monitoring to track candidates. These systems are only available in accredited centres, ensuring integrity in both registration and examination.
✅ Better Technical Infrastructure
With JAMB-accredited CBT centres, you get access to standardized facilities—high-speed computers, stable power supply, and well-maintained environments.
✅ Safe Payment and Support
Payments for registration, profile creation, and other services are managed professionally. Also, trained staff are available to assist if you face any issues during registration.
