The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has given approval to 15 Computer-Based Test centres in Jigawa State.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Board’s Public Relations Officer in the Jigawa State office, Mukarram Bello Adamu.
According to him, the approved centres include the State Headquarters Mechanic Village; Federal University Dutse E-Learning Centre 1 and Centre 2; Federal University Dutse CBT ICT Centre; Bunyamin Usman Polytechnic, Hadejia; Future Map Foundation, Hadejia; and the College of Education, Gumel Centre 1.
Others are the Jigawa State College of Education, Gumel Centre 2; State College of Advanced and Remedial Studies, Babura; Institute of Information Technology, Kazaure; Hussaini Adamu Federal Polytechnic, Kazaure; Sule Lamido University, Kafin Hausa; BHT Intersystems, Dutse; Al-Hikmah CBT Centre, Birnin Kudu; and G-City College of Nursing Sciences, Gwaram.
He said the UTME Registration will begin from 26th January, 2026 to 28th February 2026, while DE Registration will commence from 2nd March 2026 to 25th April 2026 at JAMB Office only.
The statement however urged the candidates to use the opportunity and register within the time frame.
According to reports, the available centres are inadequate considering the large number of applicants in the state.
Reports indicate that the shortage of centres has exposed many applicants to serious risks.
Several candidates are forced to travel long distances to reach their designated JAMB centres, often facing safety concerns and a lack of accommodation, with some reportedly sleeping on the streets.
