The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has delisted 23 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres following technical deficiencies observed during the 2026 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
JAMB also issued warnings to several centres with minor technical issues, while one centre was barred from participating in any of its future examinations.
The board, in a statement on Friday, April 10, 2026, explained that the Mock UTME, introduced to help candidates familiarise themselves with the CBT environment, also serves as a key platform for assessing its readiness ahead of the main examination.
It added that the exercise provided an opportunity to identify centres that failed to meet the required operational and technical standards.
“In the aftermath of the 2026 Mock UTME, the Board’s internal review mechanisms identified a number of centres that failed to meet these standards. Consequently, the Board has taken decisive steps, in line with its commitment to maintaining the integrity of its examination processes, to ensure that only centres that are fully prepared and compliant participate in the main UTME exercise,” JAMB stated.
