Every year, thousands of UTME candidates make one costly mistake — choosing the wrong CBT centre.

Some don’t verify the centre properly.
Some register in a rush.
Some ignore warning signs.

And on exam day?
System failures.
Biometric issues.
Late rescheduling.
Serious frustration.

If you’re registering for 2026 UTME, this post might save you from regret.

🚨 Why Your CBT Centre Choice Is Very Important

Your CBT centre determines:

✔️ The quality of computers you’ll use
✔️ How smooth your biometric verification will be
✔️ Whether your exam starts on time
✔️ Your overall exam experience

A poor centre can increase anxiety and cost you performance marks indirectly.

❌ Common Mistakes Candidates Make

Choosing the closest centre without checking reviews

Registering at unaccredited agents

Ignoring past complaints about certain centres

Waiting till the last minute to register

Not confirming the exact location before exam day

⚠️ Very Important: Only Use JAMB-Accredited CBT Centres

Please, don’t try shortcuts.

If a centre is not officially accredited by JAMB, avoid it completely.
No matter how cheap or convenient it looks.

Many candidates lose money to fake agents every year.
