The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has kicked off the accreditation process for centres that will participate in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This is a crucial step in preparing for the annual exam, and all new Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres must meet specific requirements to be accredited .
To get started, new CBT centres need to visit the JAMB website to access the requirements for establishing a JAMB-approved centre. They’ll then need to notify the Board in writing of their intention to participate in the accreditation exercise, which should be addressed to the Registrar of JAMB through the Zonal Director or State Coordinator in their respective states.
Existing centres that were successfully accredited and participated in the 2024 UTME without any issues can proceed to register their interest through the Centre Management System (CMS) Portal. The Zonal and State Offices will create accounts for new centres on the CMS Portal to facilitate their registration.
All centres must undergo an Autobot/Autotest, which is mandatory, to prepare for the physical accreditation visit by the Board’s team. Only centres that pass this test and meet the necessary criteria will be eligible for a physical visit and will receive information about the accreditation exercise scheduled for December 2024.
