The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has begun the accreditation of centres for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This critical preparatory step ensures the smooth conduct of the annual examination.

ToggleNew Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres interested in participating in the 2025 UTME are required to review the detailed requirements outlined at JAMB’s Official Website. After familiarizing themselves with these guidelines, prospective centres must formally notify the Board of their intent by submitting a written application to the JAMB Registrar via their respective Zonal Director or State Coordinator.
Centres accredited for the 2024 UTME and with no reported issues are advised to register their interest directly through the Centre Management System (CMS) Portal. New centres, meanwhile, will have accounts created for them on this platform by Zonal or State Offices, allowing them to complete the registration process.
Mandatory Testing and Physical Accreditation
A key requirement in the accreditation process is the mandatory Autobot/Autotest, scheduled for a date that will be announced by JAMB. Only centres that pass this test and meet specified criteria will be considered for the subsequent physical accreditation. Those qualifying will be informed about the schedule for the physical assessment, set to take place in December 2024. Notably, centres failing the Autobot/Autotest will not be eligible for reassessment.
Approval and Inclusion
Centres that successfully meet all accreditation standards will be approved to participate in the 2025 UTME, facilitating the registration and examination process. JAMB emphasizes that strict adherence to its requirements is non-negotiable to maintain the integrity and efficiency of the UTME.
