Read Time:1 Minute, 27 Second

Direct Entry (DE) Forms are now available for purchase both nationally and in a few carefully chosen international locations through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, or JAMB.

This was stated in a statement released by the board on Tuesday by spokesman Fabian Benjamin.

According to him, overseas applicants wishing to enroll in Nigerian universities through the Direct Entry route are eligible to purchase.

According to him, the Board will continue to ensure a level playing field for all candidates irrespective of status.

“The Board would not process candidates’ applications from all awarding institutions that have refused to honour several requests for the verification of their A’level certificates presented by some candidates for the 2023 admission.

“Candidates who are not awaiting results must have uploaded their A’ level qualifications, O’level results and DE registration template at the point of registration as no DE candidates would be processed for admission until such claimed results are uploaded and verified by the awarding institutions on the Board’s Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) mail platform.

“DE candidates, who at the point of registration are awaiting A Level results of IJMB/JUPEB/NABTEB, must have uploaded their Admission Letter and Registration Template at the point of registration. Applicants with Cambridge certificates of the pre-2018 examination year should visit Cambridge directly for verification,” he added.

The Board also gave a window of opportunity for upgrading from UTME to DE with a provision for only candidates whose DE results have not been released at the point of UTME registration and who must have indicated at the point of registration that he/she was awaiting A-level results.

The registration process will start on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, and close on Thursday, March 28, 2024.
