The list of all the Approved and Accredited JAMB CBT Centres in Katsina State for the 2026/2027 UTME is out. A computer-based test (CBT) centre is a facility equipped with computers and related infrastructure for administering examinations using a computer-based testing format.
In Katsina State, there are several Computer-Based Test (CBT) Centres; however, not every one of them is accredited for the 2026/2027 Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB), often called the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
There are several reasons for this, such as closures or shutdowns, which could sometimes be a penalty by the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) for examination malpractice in the previous year, or it is not a registered and recognized CBT Centre for the 2026/2027 JAMB Examinations, among other reasons.
Reasons why a formerly Accredited JAMB CBT Centre can Lose its Credibility:
1. Examination Malpractice:
The most significant and frequent reason that CBT centers lose their credibility is due to examination malpractice. Centers with records of cheating, leakage of examination questions, violation of examination rules, or any other form of misconduct are banned from functioning as JAMB CBT centers by the examination board.
2. Inadequate Facilities/Infrastructure:
When a CBT center is faced with challenges like unavailability of a stable or backup power supply, insufficient computers, and poor surveillance and security measures, which include inadequate CCTV coverage could lose its credibility.
3. Non-Compliance with JAMB/UTME Requirements:
Periodically, the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) makes updates to their standards and requirements. These updates might involve upgrades of equipment such as computers, CBT software, and others. Formerly accredited centers that fail to meet up with the update/upgrade requirements as prescribed by the board stand to lose their credibility.
4. Insecure examination environment:
A CBT center may lose its credibility if the security of its candidates is not guaranteed. Centers in locations prone to insurgency, disaster, violence, or other forms of disturbance that may threaten the safety of candidates may lose their credibility.
To prevent unfortunate situations that stem from candidates registering or participating in examinations at an unaccredited CBT center, this article provides you with a comprehensive list of all the JAMB/UTME accredited centers in Katsina State with their addresses/locations.
