"UTME Centre": List of 5 States Where JAMB Delisted CBT Centres
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) conducts the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Nigeria
The UTME is a computer-based test that determines the eligibility of candidates for admission into various tertiary institutions in the country.
However, every year, some candidates and centres engage in various forms of examination malpractices, such as impersonation, cheating, smuggling of phones and electronic devices, tampering with exam documents, etc.

To curb these malpractices, JAMB has taken some measures to sanction the offenders and deter others from doing the same.
One of these measures is to delist or suspend some centres that have been found to be involved in examination misconduct or technical deficiencies.

System glitch, 2 other things eyewitness says happened at Mmesoma Ejikeme’s exam hall
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Mmesoma Ejikeme, a pupil from Anambra State, Nigeria, has been in the spotlight for allegedly faking her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.
She claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME, making her the highest-scoring candidate in the country.
However, the body that conducts UTME, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), and the Anambra state government set up a panel to probe her claim and have debunked it and exposed Mmesoma for manipulating her results.
