Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has suspended the ongoing 2023 Direct Entry (DE) registration exercise.
The exercise which commenced on Monday, 20th February, 2023, with effect from Tuesday, 21st February, 2023, was supposed to run till Thursday, 20th April, 2023.
JAMB spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement, on Tuesday, explained that the suspension was to enable JAMB deploy certain measures that were designed to provide better services to prospective candidates.
He informed prospective candidates that a new date and fresh registration procedures would be announced soon so that candidates could proceed to JAMB offices nationwide to register.
He, however, asked interest DE candidate to keep handy, their 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.), as they would be required to upload them in the registration portal.
He also asked candidates to note that only JAMB offices are approved to register for Direct Entry.
