How to Choose the Best JAMB Centre in Borno State
With centres spread across Maiduguri and Biu, most candidates in Borno State will register in Maiduguri since that is where the majority of accredited centres are located. If you are closer to Biu, the Nigerian Army University centre is your best option.
Beyond location, choose a centre that is known for reliable computers, stable power, and efficient service. Avoid centres that are known for long queues or technical problems.
These issues can delay your registration and in some cases cause complications with your exam date. Register as early as possible during the registration window to avoid the last-minute rush that typically hits Maiduguri centres hard.

FAQs About JAMB Approved Centres in Borno State
Can I register JAMB in any CBT centre in Borno State?
No. You can only register for JAMB at officially accredited centres. The list on this page contains the JAMB approved centres in Borno State that are authorised to carry out your registration. Any registration done at an unaccredited location will not be recognised by JAMB and could invalidate your application. Always confirm a centre is on the official list before proceeding.
How do I choose a JAMB centre in Borno State?
Start with proximity. Choose a centre that is easy to reach from your home or school. Beyond location, look for a centre with a reputation for reliable computers and stable power supply. If you know anyone who has registered at a particular centre before, ask about their experience. Maiduguri has multiple accredited centres so you have options if your first choice is overcrowded or inconvenient.
Can I select my JAMB exam centre by myself?
No. JAMB does not allow candidates to choose a specific exam centre. During registration you select a preferred exam town, and JAMB automatically assigns you to a centre within that town. If you are in Borno State and want to write your exam close to home, select Maiduguri or Biu as your preferred exam location during registration.
Are these JAMB centres in Borno State approved for 2026?
Yes, this list is based on the most recent official JAMB accredited centres data available. However, JAMB updates its list of approved centres periodically and centres can be added or removed without much notice. We recommend confirming your chosen centre is still active on the JAMB official website before your registration day.
Can I register in Borno State and write my exam in another state?
Yes. Your registration centre and your exam town do not have to be in the same state. You can register at any accredited JAMB centre in Borno State and then select a different state as your preferred exam town during registration. JAMB will assign you an exam centre in whichever town you choose. This is useful if you live in Borno but plan to be elsewhere during the exam period.
