The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed that 132 of its 887 accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres reported inconsistencies in the data of one or two candidates, impacting a total of 200 individuals.
This was disclosed in the board’s weekly bulletin released on Monday.
While the number of affected candidates—200 out of 2,030,627 registered—may seem minor, JAMB emphasized that such discrepancies are unacceptable. Following detailed investigations and inquiries, the board has imposed sanctions on the implicated centres. Additionally, the candidates found to have submitted incorrect data will share responsibility for the errors.
JAMB has invited the 200 negligent candidates to visit any of its centres to correct their mismatched information. The registration officers linked to these lapses have been permanently barred from participating in JAMB-related activities, including registration and examinations.
The affected centres, which have been issued a final warning, span multiple states, including Abia (2), Adamawa (2), Akwa Ibom (1), Anambra (2), Bayelsa (1), Benue (8), Borno (3), Cross River (1), Delta (5), Ebonyi (2), Edo (2), Ekiti (1), Enugu (11), FCT (6), Imo (1), Jigawa (3), Kaduna (1), Kano (2), Katsina (1), Kogi (3), Kwara (4), Lagos (20), Nasarawa (6), Niger (1), Ogun (15), Ondo (4), Osun (5), Oyo (6), Plateau (2), Rivers (6), and Taraba (5).
The board reiterated the critical need for CBT centres to exercise diligence during registration to maintain the credibility of its examination process.
