The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) registration period.
JAMB had previously set March 28 as the deadline for its Direct Entry registration drive, which began on February 28.
However, Fabian Benjamin, the board’s spokesperson, confirmed in a statement on Saturday that this had been extended.
He stated that the extension will begin on March 28 and registration will expire on April 11.
Benjamin explained that the extension was necessary to accommodate candidates who were having difficulty registering due to the board’s security measures.
“This extension became necessary following the challenges faced by candidates in going through some of the security screening measures put in place to arrest the rampant and embarrassing cases of fake A’level certificates being paraded by some DE candidates,” he said.
“The board apologises for the inconveniences caused to prospective DE candidates and pledges that, going forward, the process will be made more user-friendly.
