The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has announced that it is postponing the continuation of its Direct Entry (DE) registration, which was 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.
JAMB Spokesperson Fabian Benjamin disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday, April 23, 2023.
Benjamin said this development was to accommodate the conduct of the Board’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination(UTME) billed 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.
He further directed candidates desiring to register for the DE exercise to ensure that they obtain their DE 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.
He also assured all DE candidates of the Board’s desire 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, he added that the Board solicits the understanding of candidates as it puts in place some innovative measures aimed at checking incidence of falsification of results, data and other infractions.
