The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has decided to put a hold on the ongoing 2023 Direct Entry registration, which began on Monday, February 20, and will take effect on Tuesday, February 21. This decision was made effective immediately.
The board’s Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said in a statement released yesterday in Abuja that the suspension was made so that specific measures could be implemented to help candidates.
The board said that a new date and new registration procedures, such as uploading of JAMB Admission Letter for OND and NCE, Admission Letter issued by universities for University Diploma, and Admission Letter issued by A’ Level examination bodies (IJMBE, JUPEB, etc.), would be announced soon so that candidates could go to JAMB offices nationwide to register.
The board had planned for DE registration to end on Thursday, April 20, 2023. It started on Monday, February 20, 2023.
“Candidates are also to note that only JAMB offices are approved to register them for Direct Entry,” the statement said.
