The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Monday said it discovered that 132 out of the 887 approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres have reported discrepancies in the data of one or two of their candidates.

The weekly bulletin of the board stated that in response to the findings, the affected centres have been sanctioned after thorough investigation and queries. 

“Although the number of discrepancies is relatively small (200 out of 2,030,627), it remains unacceptable to the board. The candidates who inadvertently confirmed incorrect data are also held accountable for this oversight.

“The 200 candidates identified as negligent have been invited to visit any JAMB centre to rectify the mismatched data. Additionally, the registration officers at the centres involved in these discrepancies have been permanently barred from participating in any JAMB registration or examination-related activities.

“The centres that have received a final warning are located in the following states: 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).

“All CBT centres are reminded of the importance of diligence in the registration process to uphold the integrity of the examination,” the board said.
