JAMB Delists 5 CBT Centres, Arrests 27 for Exam Impersonation:
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has withdrawn five Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres from participating in the ongoing 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The decision came after the centres failed to comply with the necessary technical requirements for the smooth conduct of the exams.
🛑 List of Affected Centres
The following CBT centres have been removed from the 2025 UTME:
- Adventure Associate, located behind Sheshe Supermarket, Off Hadejia Road, Kano, Kano State

- Penta M & F Technical Services Ltd, Centre 1 and Centre 2, both situated at 96km Sokoto-Jega Road, Tambuwal
- Soronara Ventured Nigeria Limited, Foundation Road, Umudagu Mbieri, Mbaitoli, Imo State
📄 What Affected Candidates Must Do
Candidates who selected any of the centres above must reprint their exam slips to get updated details of their new test venue and rescheduled exam date. JAMB has emphasized that failure to do so will not be accepted as a valid excuse for missing the exam.
