The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended the ongoing 2023 Direct Entry registration, which started on Monday, February 20 with effect from Tuesday, February 21.
A statement yesterday in Abuja by the board’s Head of Public
Affairs and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said the suspension was to enable
the deployment of certain measures designed to better serve prospective
candidates.
The board stated that a new date and fresh registration
procedures, which will include upload of JAMB Admission Letter in the case of
OND and NCE, Admission Letter issued by universities in the case of University
Diploma, and Admission Letter issued by A’ Level examination bodies (IJMBE,
JUPEB, etc.), would be announced in due course so that candidates could proceed
to JAMB offices nationwide to register.
The board had commenced DE registration on Monday, February
20, 2023, and had slated it to end on Thursday, April 20, 2023.
“Candidates are also to note that only JAMB offices are
approved to register them for Direct Entry,” the statement added.
