Selecting a CBT Centre for Your Examination

Selecting a CBT Centre for Your Examination

Who is this for?  Undergraduate learners in Nigeria who will sit examinations at a computer-based test centre.

If you are an undergraduate learner residing in Nigeria, your examinations are conducted at a computer-based test (CBT) centre, and you must select your preferred centre within the window communicated by the university. Choosing a CBT centre early lets the university make the necessary arrangements; missing the deadline may affect your examination arrangements.

Note  International and postgraduate learners write examinations remotely and do not select a CBT centre. Before selecting, confirm you have met your tuition obligations and successfully enrolled in your courses.

How to select a CBT centre

  1. Log in to the Examination Portal directly, or log in to the SIS and select Manage Exam.

  2. Select the state where you would like to write, then choose your preferred CBT centre from the available options and click Save.

  3. Review the confirmation pop-up and click Yes, Save to confirm.

  4. Verify your selected centre, which is displayed at the top of the Examination Portal.

  5. Note the location of your centre and keep monitoring the portal for your schedule and updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my CBT centre after selecting?

Yes, but you must request it through the SIS portal where you chose the initial centre, and it can only be accommodated if your preferred centre still has capacity. Choose carefully the first time. Please note that the change for CBT request opens up within one week to exam.

I cannot see any CBT centres on the portal.

Confirm the selection window is open and that you are eligible to sit for the examination. If the issue persists, contact your Success Advisor.

Can I select any CBT centre?

You can only select from the centres available on the Examination Portal during the selection period. If your preferred centre isn't available at the point of selection, then it means it is out of capacity. You will then need to choose another centre.
