JAMB Threatens Sanctions for Centres Invisible on Monitoring System
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned all accredited centres nationwide that any facility not visible on its central monitoring system risks sanctions. This includes non-payment and potential invalidation of activities conducted at unmonitored centres.
Quick Insight: Real-time visibility through JAMB’s surveillance cameras is mandatory to ensure integrity during registrations and examinations.
Mandatory Monitoring
All accredited centres must ensure that security cameras and monitoring systems remain accessible in real-time to JAMB headquarters. Centres that fail to remain visible may have their activities declared invalid.
Sanctions for Non-Compliance
Centres failing to comply will not receive payment for their services. In some cases, registrations and exams conducted at unmonitored centres could also be invalidated.
Delisting Process
JAMB has already delisted several centres based on monitoring data. While the board initially considered cancelling all registrations from unmonitored centres, it opted to give centres a chance to fix technical issues.
Importance of Real-Time Monitoring
Monitoring allows JAMB to detect irregularities quickly and take corrective action, helping curb malpractice and strengthen the credibility of registration and examination processes.
Final Thoughts
JAMB’s strict stance highlights the increasing role of technology in maintaining examination integrity. Accredited centres must comply to avoid sanctions and protect candidates’ registrations.
Tip: Accredited CBT centres should ensure their monitoring systems are active and reliable to avoid sanctions and protect candidates’ registrations and examinations.
