As the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) season approaches, thousands of prospective students across Nigeria are preparing to register and sit for the examination. For candidates residing in Bayelsa State, identifying a reliable and accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre is crucial. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has approved several centres across the state to ensure the registration and examination process is smooth, efficient, and secure.
This blog post provides a comprehensive guide to JAMB-accredited CBT centres in Bayelsa State, outlining their locations, services, and useful tips for a stress-free registration and exam experience.
What is a JAMB Accredited CBT Centre?
JAMB-accredited CBT centres are specially designated locations equipped with the necessary technological infrastructure to facilitate the registration and examination process for UTME and DE candidates. These centres must meet JAMB's stringent requirements in terms of equipment, internet connectivity, staff competence, and overall environment to ensure integrity and efficiency.
Using an unaccredited centre can lead to disqualification, invalid registration, or even exam malpractice allegations. That is why JAMB regularly updates and publishes an official list of accredited centres to guide candidates.
