The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a new deadline for the sales of pin and registration for candidates seeking admissions into Nigerian universities through direct entry.
The Board commenced the 2024 Direct Entry on Wednesday, 28th February 2024, and was to have concluded it on Thursday, 11th April 2024, but on subsequent consideration, has now further extended the exercise by two weeks from Thursday, 11th April 2024, consequently bringing the registration to a close on Thursday, 25th April 2024.
This extension became necessary following the challenges faced by candidates in going through some of the security screening measures put in place to arrest the rampant and embarrassing cases of fake A’level certificates being paraded by some DE candidates.
The Board apologizes for the inconveniences caused prospective DE candidates and pledges that, going forward, the process would be made more user-friendly.
However, in doing this, the Board will not compromise on its avowed determination to ensure that candidates, whose certificates were dubiously acquired are prevented from benefiting from such certificates.
It is also to be noted that candidates, whose certificate-issuing institution are among those on the list of institutions that have not verified their certificates despite repeated requests, would not be allowed to register without doing the needful.
