Mock UTME: JAMB Delists 23 CBT Centres Over Technical Failures
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has delisted 23 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres across Nigeria over technical deficiencies recorded during the 2026 mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The disclosure was contained in the latest bulletin released by the Board and signed by its Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, as the 2026 UTME, scheduled to hold nationwide from April 16 to April 25, 2026, draws near.
According to the Board, the mock UTME provides an opportunity to identify centres that fall short of the required operational and technical standards
“Following the conduct of the 2026 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), has delisted 23 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres for technical deficiencies
The Board has also issued warnings to centres with minor technical issues, while one centre would no longer be used in any of the Board’s examinations,” the Board stated.
A total of 2,243,816 candidates registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination nationwide, with Lagos (321,814), Kaduna (303,498), FCT-Abuja (302,963), and Ogun (137,156) leading the list of states with the highest number of registrants.
Ahead of the 2026 UTME, JAMB created 1,000 examination centres nationwide, up from fewer than 800 in 2025, to improve access and logistics for candidates.
However, its internal review identified several centres that failed to meet the required technical and operational standards during the exercise.
The delisting follows widespread technical issues recorded during the 2026 mock UTME.
Multiple reports from candidates and parents indicated that some centres experienced hours-long delays, while others were unable to commence the examination due to network failures and system glitches.
The affected centres include those in Abia, Anambra, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, FCT, Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Oyo, and Plateau.
