Any CBT centre that is absent from the list is not approved and should not be used for UTME registration or exams.
As reported by Nigerian Tribune, CBT centres that failed to meet JAMB’s technical, operational, and ethical standards were either temporarily suspended or completely delisted.
Temporary suspension usually allows centres to correct deficiencies and regain accreditation.
However, delisted centres must reapply and meet all requirements to be considered for future UTME exercises.
These centres were cited for technical deficiencies, inadequate infrastructure, or failure to follow examination protocols.
The delisted centres in 2025 that did not appear on the 2026 JAMB-approved list include:
- Adventure Associate – Kano State
- Saadatu Rimi College of Education CBT Centre – Kano State
- Soronara Ventures Nigeria Limited – Imo State
Delisted 2024 CBT centres not on JAMB list
- Ola Unity Children’s School CBT Centre – Lagos State.
- Command Day Secondary School CBT Centre – Lagos State
- Beijing International School CBT – Kaduna State
