Understand What Happened at Caleb University

JAMB was informed about a case at Caleb University where candidates wearing hijabs were stopped from entering.

The action was traced to a security officer acting without approval.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university condemned the action.
The situation was quickly corrected to ensure that no candidate lost the chance to sit for the exam.
JAMB gave apologies to those affected.
The leadership at the centre and the university moved fast to correct the mistake.

Follow JAMB’s Warning to CBT Centres

JAMB praised the 883 centres that performed well.

JAMB gave a clear warning that any centre that fails to meet technical or ethical rules will be blacklisted.

Ownership of the centre will not protect it from being delisted.
