1. In order to minimize errors during registration by candidates and also to ensure that candidates have ready access to the brochure needed for registration, the brochure will be provided in three (3) modes which are:

2. The brochure will be on the JAMB portal. As soon as a candidate creates his/her profile on the JAMB portal, there will be a link that will take him/her straight to the brochure.

Abuse by Approved CBT Centres and Cyber Café Operators

It has been observed by the Board, that in the past, there were lots of irregularities during the registration of candidates. Some of which are:

Irregularities Observed

1. Off-line registration means that candidates are given a template form to fill and enter their details and the Registration centres would later enter their data for them online at a later time when the candidates were not present.

2. Registration Centres did off-line registration for candidates and, in completing the online, mismatched their images and made mistakes in the candidates’ data.

3. Registration Centres deliberately went to the hinterland to register candidates off-line in order to create Special Centres where they could further perpetrate irregularities during examinations.

4. Punish uncompromising candidates by changing their centres and/or institutions without their knowledge/consent.

5. Swapped and replaced details of uncompromising candidates with others, and used money paid for other candidates.

JAMB CBT Registration New Guidelines: Measures Taken By the Board

1. Payment for access code by Registration Centres has been cancelled. However, they will enable all systems in the Registration Centre for the registration.

2. None of these systems therefore can be used for registration outside the Registration Centre.

3. Candidates will now have access to all the systems at the Computer Based Test (CBT) Centre for the registration exercise.

4. This is unlike before where only one system was used by the Computer Based Test (CBT) Centre for registration.

5. Candidates will be properly educated to understand that their registration numbers are private and security numbers, which they must not divulge.

6. Any candidate who discloses his/her registration number does so at his/her own risk.

7. An alert system has been created for notifications on changes in the candidate’s details at each stage of the registration process.

Accountability in Registration Centres

1. Registration Centres are urged to appoint credible staff to manage their centres to ensure credibility and accountability.

2. It has also been observed that some Public Registration Centres refused registration because of “low return”.

3. These returns are not low as claimed, but officers in charge do not remit appropriately.
