JAMB Extends Deadline for 2023 Direct Entry Registration

JAMB has declared that the cutoff date for the 2023 Direct Entry (DE) registration has been prolonged. The previous deadline was set to conclude on April 20th, but it has now been extended for an additional week. The new deadline is April 28th, 2023.

According to the head of public affairs and protocol at JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, the decision to extend the deadline for the 2023 direct entry (DE) registration was made to give candidates who possess Cambridge A’Level results enough time to verify their certificates during the registration process. Additionally, the extension was also intended to provide other applicants with additional time to register.

Additionally, JAMB has collaborated with the British Council to simplify the verification process for Cambridge A/L Certificates.

The board also revealed that candidates can present a range of certificates during registration, including university diplomas, Ordinary National Diplomas (OND), National Diplomas (ND), Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE), Higher National Diplomas (HND), and university degrees.

Additional certificates acceptable for the 2023 JAMB Direct Entry registration include the Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB), Joint Universities Preliminary Examination Board (JUPED), NABTEB Advanced National Business Certificate, NABTEB Advanced National Technical Certificate, NABTEB GCE-A’ Level (2015 – 2021), Higher Islamic Studies Certificate by NBAIS, International Baccalaureate, and the National Registered Nurse/Midwife certificates.
