The sale of JAMB Direct Entry forms has been formally launched both nationally and at a few foreign centers by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, or JAMB. The JAMB public communication advisor, Fabian Benjamin, released a statement stating that the registration window will open on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, and close on Thursday, March 28, 2024.
International Opportunity
This opportunity is not exclusive to local candidates; international students seeking tertiary education in Nigeria through the direct entry route can also benefit.
Application Processing Criteria
The Board emphasized that it will not process applications from candidates whose awarding institutions have consistently failed to respond to requests for A’level certificate verification from the 2023 admissions.
Candidates not awaiting results must upload their A’ level qualifications, O level results, and DE registration template during registration. No DE candidate will be processed for admission until the claimed results are uploaded and verified by the awarding institutions on the Board’s Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) mail platform.
Waiting for A’level Results
For direct entry candidates awaiting A’level results of IJMB, JUPEB, or NABTEB, the board specified that they must upload their admission letter and registration template at the point of registration. The verification process may take up to 28 days, as specified by the awarding body.

Moreover, the board has introduced an option for candidates to upgrade from UTME to direct entry. This option is exclusively available to candidates whose Direct Entry results were unavailable during UTME registration and had indicated they were awaiting A-level results.
