JAMB Extends Direct Entry Registration Date

JAMB has extended the direct entry registration date.

Glamtush reports that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the extension of direct entry registration till April 28.

This online newspaper understands that the board in a statement signed by the Head, Public Affairs, Fabian Benjamin, on Monday, noted that the extension is partly to give holders of Cambridge A/Level certificates sufficient time to complete their registration.

Recall that the Board, after a series of discoveries of falsification of A/Level results, modified its DE registration platform to ensure, among others, that only certificates with verifiable processes are allowed as entry requirements for the DE exercise.

The statement read, “The DE registration exercise, which commenced on Monday, March 20 2023, and billed to end on Thursday, April 20 2023, has been extended by one week starting from Friday, April 21, 2023.

“This extension is partly to give all holders of Cambridge A/Level Certificates, who were unable to register for the exercise on account of some issues associated with the verification of their certificates, another opportunity to do so, as well as accommodate others, who wish to register but were unable to do so within the stipulated time.”
