JAMB Extends 2023 Direct Entry Registration By One Week

The Joint Admission And Matriculation Board (JAMB) have announced an extension of the ongoing Direct Entry registration period, originally scheduled to close on Thursday, April 20, 2023. The new deadline is now one week later, on Thursday, April 27, 2023.

Following a meeting held on Monday, JAMB announced an extension for registration to give students with Cambridge A/Level Certificates another chance to register for the exams.

The extension also allows others who were not able to register within the stipulated time to do so. The decision was made to accommodate candidates who were previously unable to register due to issues with certificate verification.

JAMB however said the consideration does not in any way include candidates awaiting Cambridge Certificates as “Awaiting Results” would not be accepted.

A statement to this effect, released by JAMB’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, disclosed that the Direct Entry registration exercise, “which commenced on Monday, 20th March 2023, and billed to end on Thursday, 20th April 2023, has been extended by one week starting from Friday, 21st April 2023.”
