The middle capacitor have no potential difference , so we can exclude it from circuit .
Now we have 4 capacitor of same value in circuit . . . after calculating i got equivalent capacitance as C ...

We start from point B
C is in series with C so its equivalent is C/2
Now C/2 is in parallel with C so its equivalent is 3C/2
Now 3C/2 is in series with C so its equivalent is 3C/5
Now 3C/5 is in Parallel with C so its equivalent is 8C/5.
So equivalent capacitance between A and B is 8/5.
Hope it clears. If you like answer then please approve it.
