How to Know the Exact Location of Your JAMB 2025 CBT Centre After Reprinting

Now that the JAMB 2025 examination slip reprinting has started, most candidates have seen the name, date, and address of their assigned CBT centres.

But for many candidates, that’s only the first step.

The next challenge is this:
“Where exactly is my centre located?”
Some candidates are seeing unfamiliar names, long street addresses, or places they’ve never visited before — and it’s normal to feel confused.

The truth is, JAMB CBT centres are spread across cities, towns, and even some remote areas.
If you don’t confirm the exact location before your exam day, you may get lost, arrive late, or miss your exam completely.

This article will guide you on how to know exactly where your CBT centre is, even if you’ve never been to that area before.

We’ll break it down step by step — so you don’t make any costly mistake on your big day.

1. Start by Reading Your Centre Address Properly

The first step to finding your JAMB CBT centre is to take a proper look at the address written on your examination slip.

Don’t just skim through it — read it carefully.

Here’s what to pay attention to:

• The full name of the centre – e.g., “Yemtech CBT Centre, Ogijo”
• The street or bus stop – this helps you locate it on a map
• The local government area (LGA) – some towns share similar street names
• The city or state – especially important if you’re writing outside your exact town

Sometimes, candidates confuse the name of the centre with their school or assume the location is somewhere else entirely. That’s why you must read all the details properly — not just the bold name on top.

Tip: If you’re not sure how to pronounce or recognize part of the address, write it down separately so you can ask someone who’s familiar with the area.

Many issues with locating centres happen simply because candidates didn’t read the full address correctly.

So start there. That’s your foundation.

2. Use Google Maps or Ask Someone Familiar with the Area

Once you’ve properly read and written out the full address of your CBT centre, the next thing is to locate it — either online or offline.

If you’re using a smartphone, the easiest way is to:

• Open Google Maps or any map app.
• Type the full name of your centre and the street or town.
• Look at the map to see where it is and how far it is from your current location.

This will help you:

• Know the exact distance to your centre,
• Find the easiest transport route, and
• Estimate how long it will take to get there.

But if you don’t have access to a map or are still confused, the best thing is to ask someone who knows the area.

You can ask:

• Teachers in your school or tutorial centre,
• Cyber café staff where you reprinted your slip,
• Older friends or relatives who have written JAMB before,
• Commercial drivers or bike riders in your area — they know most major centres.

Never assume you know the place just because the name sounds familiar.

If you’re still not sure, it’s better to ask 10 people than to go to the wrong place on exam day.

3. Visit the Centre Before the Exam Day If You Can

If your exam centre is within your town or close to where you stay, the best thing you can do is to go there before the exam day.

This simple step can save you from:

• Getting lost on the way,
• Arriving late,
• Getting stressed out or confused,
• Or even missing your exam completely.

By visiting early, you’ll know exactly:

• Where the centre gate is,
• What the building looks like,
• How long it takes to get there, and
• What the environment feels like.

If the centre is far and you can’t visit physically, you can still:

• Call someone you know in that area to help you check it, or
• Use online directions and match the area with landmarks or street names.

Many candidates who miss their exams every year say the same thing:

“I didn’t know the place well.”

Don’t let that be your story.

Even if your exam is at 6:30 AM or 7:00 AM, visiting the centre early will help you plan when to leave your house and how long your journey will take.

4. Don’t Rely on Just the Name — Ask for Directions Using Landmarks

One of the most common mistakes candidates make is relying only on the name of the CBT centre when asking for directions.

But in many towns, CBT centres may not be well-known by name — especially to drivers, bike riders, or even local residents.

That’s why it’s important to use landmarks when asking for directions.

Examples of landmarks you can use include:

• Popular schools or universities nearby,
• Markets or bus stops close to the centre,
• Major roads or roundabouts,
• Banks, churches, mosques, or filling stations near the address.

So instead of saying:

“Please, where is Zino Technologies CBT Centre?”

Say:

“Please, I’m looking for Zino CBT Centre along Agbor Road, after GTBank, near the big junction.”

Landmarks make it easier for people to guide you.
And on the day of your exam, it can help bike men or taxi drivers take you directly there — even if they’ve never heard of the CBT centre by name.

If your exam centre is inside a school or institution, ask for the main gate of the school, not just the centre name.

Use the full address plus nearby landmarks — that’s your best bet for arriving without stress.

Final Advice: Don’t Wait Until Exam Morning to Find Your Centre

No matter how close or familiar a place may seem, never wait until the morning of your exam to start locating your CBT centre.

That’s one of the biggest reasons candidates miss their exams — not because they didn’t study, but because they got lost, arrived late, or panicked when they couldn’t find the place on time.

Now that you’ve reprinted your slip and you know your exam date and time, the best thing you can do is:

• Find out exactly where your centre is today,
• Confirm how long it takes to get there, and
• Make a plan to leave your house very early on exam day.

If your exam is by 6:30 or 7:00 AM, this step is even more important for you.

You’ve done the hard work of preparing for the UTME — don’t let something as simple as “not knowing your centre” stop you from writing the exam.

Be smart.
Plan ahead.
And you’ll walk into your exam hall with full confidence.

We wish you all the best in your JAMB 2025 exam.
