The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has announced that it is postponing the continuation of its Direct Entry registration.
The registration was earlier scheduled to close on Thursday, 20th April 2023, but was extended by one week to continue on Saturday, 6th May 2023, when the 2023 UTME and the national census exercise would have ended.
In a statement signed and made available to journalists by the Head of Media & Publicity of the Board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, JAMB said the development is to accommodate the conduct of the Board’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination(UTME) scheduled to start on Tuesday, 25th April 2023, and end on Wednesday, 3rd May 2023, while the National Census is scheduled to start on Wednesday, 3rd May 2023, and end on Friday, 5th May 2023.
It added that candidates desiring to register for the Direct Entry exercise are, therefore, directed to ensure that they obtain their Direct Entry ePINs from designated vending outlets on or before 30th April 2023, when ePIN vending would be closed. Candidates are then expected to proceed to the Board’s offices from Saturday, 6th April 2023, to Saturday, 13th May 2023, to complete their registration procedure.
The Board assures all candidates desirous of Direct Entry registration that none would be denied the opportunity to register provided they comply with the Board’s directives and within the stipulated time frame.
In the same vein, the Board solicits the understanding of candidates as it puts in place some innovative measures aimed at checking the incidence of falsification of results, data and other infractions.
