The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has postponed the continuation of its Direct Entry registration to May 6 when the 2023 UTME and the national census exercise would have ended.

JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, in a statement , said this was to accommodate the conduct of the Board’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination billed to start on April 25 and end on May 3; while the national census is scheduled to start on May 3 and end on May 5.

It added that candidates desiring to register for the Direct Entry exercise are, therefore, directed to ensure that they obtain their Direct Entry ePINs from designated vending outlets on or before 30th April 2023, when ePIN vending would be closed. Candidates are then expected to proceed to the Board’s offices from Saturday, 6th April 2023, to Saturday, 13th May 2023, to complete their registration procedure.

The Board assures all candidates desirous of Direct Entry registration that none would be denied the opportunity to register provided they comply with the Board’s directives and within the stipulated time frame.

In the same vein, the Board solicits the understanding of candidates as it puts in place some innovative measures aimed at checking the incidence of falsification of results, data and other infractions.
