The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has taken disciplinary action against six Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres over their involvement in blank registrations during the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) process. The affected centres were found to have conducted registrations without properly capturing candidates’ biometric and personal details, violating JAMB’s strict guidelines.
According to JAMB, these centres engaged in fraudulent activities that could compromise the integrity of the examination and the admission process. The board, in a statement, confirmed that the implicated centres have been sanctioned, with some facing outright de-accreditation. Candidates who registered through these centres have been advised to visit other approved locations to complete their registration properly before the deadline.
JAMB reiterated its commitment to maintaining a transparent and credible examination process. It warned other CBT centres against engaging in malpractice, emphasizing that any violation of its regulations would attract severe penalties. The board has also urged candidates to be vigilant and ensure they register only at accredited centres to avoid complications during the examination period.
This latest development highlights JAMB’s continuous efforts to curb irregularities and protect the credibility of the UTME. As the registration process continues, students and parents are advised to verify the authenticity of their chosen CBT centres through JAMB’s official channels.
Stay updated on JAMB’s latest policies and examination procedures to avoid unnecessary setbacks in the admission process.
