Accredited JAMB CBT Centres in Oyo State 2026/2027

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is the central body responsible for conducting the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Nigeria. This examination serves as the primary entry point for millions of students seeking admission into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education across the country. For the 2026/2027 academic session, JAMB continues to emphasize the use of Computer-Based Testing (CBT) centres to ensure a standardized, secure, and efficient examination process. These centres are specially accredited facilities equipped with modern computers, reliable power supply, high-speed internet, and trained personnel to handle registration, biometric verification, and actual exam delivery.

Oyo State, located in the southwestern region of Nigeria, is one of the most populous and educationally vibrant states. Home to Ibadan, the largest city in West Africa, Oyo State boasts a rich academic heritage with numerous tertiary institutions such as the University of Ibadan, The Polytechnic, Ibadan, and Lead City University. As a result, the demand for JAMB services in the state is exceptionally high. JAMB has accredited over 50 CBT centres across various local government areas in Oyo State to accommodate this volume. These centres are strategically distributed to ensure accessibility for candidates from urban hubs like Ibadan to rural areas such as Igbo-Ora and Oyo town.

Accreditation by JAMB guarantees that these centres meet stringent criteria, including adequate infrastructure, compliance with security protocols, and the ability to conduct mock exams and practice sessions. For the 2026/2027 session, candidates are advised to register only at these approved locations to avoid issues like invalid registrations or exam disruptions. Choosing the right centre not only simplifies the process but also allows candidates to familiarize themselves with the CBT environment early, reducing anxiety on exam day.

Additional Information

When selecting a CBT centre, consider factors such as proximity to your residence, availability of power backups, and crowd levels during peak registration periods. Most centres offer additional services like biometric capture, photograph taking, and result checking for a nominal fee. JAMB recommends arriving early for registrations to avoid long queues. Practice sessions are often available at these centres to help candidates get comfortable with the CBT interface, which includes drag-and-drop features, on-screen calculators, and timed sections.

Candidates should carry original identification documents, such as a National Identification Number (NIN) slip, and recent passport photographs meeting JAMB specifications (plain white background, 2Ɨ1.5 inches). The registration process typically involves creating a profile, paying the required fee, and completing the form on-site. For the 2026/2027 session, expect enhanced security measures, including CCTV monitoring and anti-proxy protocols.

In case of technical glitches or disputes, centres have on-site support from JAMB officials. Post-registration, candidates can reprint their slips at these centres. Oyo State’s zonal JAMB office in Ibadan provides oversight and can be contacted for clarifications.

FAQs

How do I know if a CBT centre is truly accredited for 2026/2027?

All accredited centres are listed on official JAMB platforms and announcements. Avoid cyber cafes or unlisted locations, as registrations there will be invalid.

Can I register at any centre in Oyo State, or must it be in my local government area?

You can register at any accredited centre in the state, but choosing one closer to home reduces travel stress.

What should I do if the centre I choose is overcrowded?

JAMB allows switching centres during the registration window, but notify the officials immediately to update your details.

Are there fees for services beyond registration at these centres?

Yes, optional services like course changes or combined result uploads incur extra charges, typically between N1,000 and N5,000.

Can I practice the JAMB CBT mock exam at these centres?

Many centres offer practice sessions for a small fee. Check availability when visiting for registration.

What happens if there’s a power outage during my exam at the centre?

Accredited centres must have generators or UPS systems. If issues persist, report to the invigilator for resolution or rescheduling.

Is biometric verification done only at registration or also during the exam?

How far in advance should I register to secure a spot at a preferred centre?

Start as soon as the registration portal opens, ideally within the first two weeks, to avoid capacity limits.
