The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) oversees entrance examinations for Nigerian tertiary institutions. For the 2026/2027 academic session, JAMB continues to utilize Computer-Based Testing (CBT) centres for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) registrations. These accredited centres ensure a secure, efficient, and standardized process, minimizing errors and fraud.
In Anambra State, a key educational hub in southeastern Nigeria, JAMB has accredited numerous CBT centres to serve thousands of candidates. Located in major towns like Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, Nsugbe, and Umunze, these centres feature high-speed internet, biometric verification systems, and sufficient computers to manage high registration volumes. The accreditation for 2026/2027 adheres to JAMB’s strict standards, including mandatory Autobot/Autotest simulations and physical inspections conducted in late 2025.
Selecting an accredited centre is vital for candidates to ensure accurate data capture, verified biometrics, and seamless exam venue assignment. With Anambra’s growing student population, over 50 centres are operational, an increase from previous years, reflecting JAMB’s focus on accessibility. The table and list below detail key accredited centres, grouped by location for convenience, based on the latest updates. Candidates should confirm final approvals closer to the registration period, typically starting in January 2026. Preparing with JAMB’s mock exams can enhance familiarity with the CBT format.

FAQs
How do I confirm if a centre is accredited for 2026/2027?
To verify if a centre is accredited for the 2026/2027 JAMB registration, visit the official JAMB website (www.jamb.gov.ng) and navigate to the section listing accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres. Alternatively, you can visit the JAMB state office in Awka, Anambra, for a physical copy of the accredited centres list. The list is typically updated in December 2025 after JAMB completes its annual accreditation process, which evaluates centres based on infrastructure, internet reliability, and compliance with JAMB’s standards. You can also check for updates via JAMB’s official social media channels or contact their helpline for real-time information. Be cautious of unaccredited centres, as registrations completed at such locations may be voided.
What documents are required for registration?
To register for the 2026/2027 JAMB examination, you will need the following documents:
- JAMB e-PIN: Purchase this from authorized vendors, such as banks, NIPOST, or online platforms listed on the JAMB website. The e-PIN is required to initiate the registration process.
- O’Level Results: Provide your WAEC, NECO, or equivalent results. You can upload results from previous years or use an awaiting result option if you’re yet to receive your 2025 results, but these must be uploaded before the admission process begins.
- Six Recent Passport Photographs: These should be coloured, with a plain background, and meet JAMB’s specifications (check the JAMB portal for exact dimensions).
- Valid Identification: A National Identification Number (NIN) is mandatory, as JAMB uses it for candidate verification. Other IDs like a voter’s card or driver’s license may be accepted as supplementary identification at some centres.
- Birth Certificate or Affidavit: This confirms your date of birth, which must align with your NIN details.
- Email Address and Phone Number: These are required for creating your JAMB profile and receiving updates.
Ensure all documents are originals or certified copies, as centres may reject incomplete or falsified documents. Visit the JAMB portal for any updates to this list before registration begins.
Can I register outside my local government area?
Yes, you are not restricted to registering within your local government area. Any JAMB-accredited CBT centre in Anambra State is valid for registration, regardless of your place of residence. You can choose a centre based on proximity, availability of slots, or facilities that suit your needs. For example, centres in urban areas like Awka or Onitsha may have more advanced infrastructure but could be busier, while those in less central areas might offer quicker service. Ensure the centre is accredited to avoid complications. During registration, you’ll provide your details, including your state of origin, which does not affect your choice of centre.
