The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the deadline for the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) registration to Monday, June 17.
JAMB disclosed this via a statement issued by its spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday, June 2, 2024.
Benjamin stated that the deadline for the DE registration was extended following the request and pleas of many stakeholders and authorities.
He added that in order to facilitate the wrap-up of the registration, the DE registration points have been expanded beyond the Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) owned by JAMB in some states where there is an upsurge of prospective candidates.
He listed the states to include Lagos State: JAMB PRC, No 11, Ojora Road, Ikoyi Lagos; JAMB PRC, No 35-37, Isheri Road, Ogba, Ikeja Lagos; and ETC Nigeria Limited, 229, JKK House, Ikorodu Road, Ilupeju.
Oyo State: JAMB PTC, JAMB Zonal Office, Quarters 845, Agodi G.R.A, Ibadan, Oyo State; Federal College of Education (FCE) Special, CBT Centre, Oyo; and JAMB PTC, Igboho.
JAMB releases 3,921 results, reschedules UTME for 24,535 candidates
Kwara State: JAMB PTC, National Headquarters Annex, After Oyun Bridge, Old Jebba Road, Ilorin, Kwara State; and University of Ilorin CBT Centre, Mini Campus.
Osun State: JAMB PTC, behind Technical College WAEC Road, Alekuwodo, Osogbo, Osun State; JAMB PTC, Block Y (Commercial) OSPDC, Oroki Estate, Service Area, Ilobu Road, Osogbo, Osun State; and JAMB PTC, Gbongon.
“It is our belief that all eligible candidates would take advantage of this opportunity to register as no further extension would be entertained.
“The previously announced criteria for DE registration remain unchanged,” the JAMB spokesperson noted.
Benjamin further disclosed that JAMB, after having meetings with the principal officers of the Kwara State College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies (CAILS) and the Kwara State University (KWASU) on the CAILS-KWASU Diploma programme, agreed to conduct a special registration exercise for the 3,633 prospective candidates, who did not participate in the 2024 UTME based on the assumption that they would be accommodated in the Direct Entry exercise.
He said: “These candidates are, therefore, to register at any of the approved CBT centres in Kwara, Oyo or Osun State within the next one week (ending on Monday, 10th June 2024.) to register for the UTME.
“469 others among this category of UTME candidates who had already taken the 2024 UTME need not retake the examination. The one they have already taken suffices.
“This concession is to ensure that, while standards are being maintained, efforts are in place to support and promote the aspirations of qualified and willing candidates even if it requires bending over backwards.”
