The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the closing date for obtaining forms for Direct Entry candidates.
The board shared that the application window will close on June 17, when all interested candidates are expected to have successfully registered for the exercise.
The board made the announcement in a post on its official X account (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, June 2.
The post read:
“Attention 2024 Direct Entry Applicants! This is to inform you that DE registration will come to a close on Monday, 17th June, 2024. If you haven’t registered yet, kindly make hay while the sun shines.”
Direct Entry are for candidates who have obtained certifications from duly accredited tertiary institutions in the country.
Unlike regular aspirants who start from 100-level upon gaining admission, Direct Entry candidates who are admitted into any school begin their academic journey from 200-level.
The reason is that many first-year courses are what Direct Entry candidates are expected to have taken and tested on in their previous tertiary institutions.
