The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the extension of the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) registration by two weeks to enable all candidates desirous of DE registration to do so.
The Drum Reporter had reported that JAMB Commences Sale of Direct Entry Form On Wednesday FEB 28TH but on subsequent consideration, the Board has now extended the exercise by two weeks from Wednesday, 28th March, 2024, consequently bringing the registration to a close on Thursday, 11th April, 2024.
According to a statement by Fabian Benjamin, JAMB Public Communication Advisor, “this extension became necessary following the challenges faced by candidates in going through some of the security screening measures put in place to arrest the rampant and embarrassing cases of fake A ‘level certificates being paraded by some DE candidates.
“The Board apologises for the inconveniences caused prospective DE candidates and pledges that, going forward, the process would be made more user-friendly.
“However, in doing this, the Board will not compromise on its avowed determination to ensure that candidates, whose certificates were dubiously acquired are prevented from benefiting from such certificates.
“It is also to be noted that candidates, whose certificate-issuing institution are among those on the list of institutions that have not verified their certificates despite repeated requests, would not be allowed to register without doing the needful.
