The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a further extension of the Direct Entry (DE) registration exercise for 2024, setting the new deadline for April 25.

Initially, JAMB had scheduled March 28 as the cutoff date for DE registration, which commenced on February 28.

Following an earlier extension, the board had shifted the deadline to April 11.

However, in a recent announcement via its official platform, JAMB disclosed the new extension to April 25.

The decision to extend the registration period was made to accommodate candidates facing challenges in completing their registration due to various reasons, as highlighted by the board.

According to JAMB, the latest extension became necessary to accommodate candidates who have expressed interest in registering for the exercise but have been unable to do so “against the backdrop of some compelling realities”.

It also attributed the deadline shift to the implementation of novel measures aimed at curbing “infractions discovered in the DE component of the admission value chain”.

“The general public is invited to note the iron-clad determination of the board to safeguard its systems from threats from whatever quarters, while ensuring that candidates with genuine credentials are given the opportunity to register for the DE exercise,” it added.

“Candidates with questionable credentials are urged in their own interest to stay away from the registration venues as the various measures put in place by the Board are guaranteed to fish out holders of forged or fake certificates for apprehension and prosecution.”

Fabian Benjamin, the board’s national spokesperson, had earlier acknowledged the challenges faced by candidates in going through some of the security screening measures put in place to arrest cases of fake A’level certificates being submitted by some DE applicants.

“The board apologises for the inconveniences caused to prospective DE candidates and pledges that, going forward, the process will be made more user-friendly,” he said.

“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 be allowed to register without doing the needful.”
