JAMB begins direct entry forms’ sale March 12

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it would begin the sales of Direct Entry forms to candidates seeking admissions into higher institutions on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.

JAMB made this known via a statement issued by its spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Monday, March 10.

Benjamin said the registration process was crucial for individuals who possess degrees, diplomas, or A-level certificates and wish to advance their education at their preferred universities.

According to him, the initiation of the Direct Entry sales follows the successful conclusion of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) application sales, which ended on Saturday, March 8, 2025.

“During this period, JAMB recorded a total of 2,030,627 registrations for the 2025 UTME, along with 200,115 for the Mock-UTME and 630 applications for the trial mock,” he said.

Benjamin stated that JAMB had emphasised the importance of adhering to all entry requirements, warning that serious penalties would be imposed on applications containing false declarations.

The JAMB spokesman added: “A special committee will verify all submitted Advanced A Level Qualifications, and any fraudulent results will lead to prosecution.

“Additionally, institutions are encouraged to directly verify certificates before considering admissions.”

Benjamin said the registration for the Direct Entry commencing on March 12 could only be done at JAMB Professional Registration Centres (PRC).
