Aspiring Direct Entry (DE) candidates hoping to purchase their JAMB E-PINs have been informed that sales will officially begin on Wednesday, March 12, 2025. This update comes after several prospective applicants visited CBT centers to buy their E-PINs, only to be told that sales had not yet commenced.
According to reports from some candidates, CBT centers advised them to return on Wednesday, indicating that the process for Direct Entry registration is yet to begin despite expectations.
Confusion Over DE Registration Timeline
Many Direct Entry applicants had anticipated that JAMB would begin E-PIN sales immediately after the closure of UTME registration on March 8, 2025. However, as they arrived at registration centers to complete the purchase, they were informed that the process had not yet started.
The delay has caused concern and uncertainty among candidates, with many questioning why JAMB has yet to begin the E-PIN sales as expected. Some worried that a late start could reduce the available time for registration, while others expressed frustration over the lack of early communication from JAMB.
What Candidates Should Expect on Wednesday
With the official sales set to begin on March 12, 2025, candidates are advised to:
- Visit only JAMB-accredited CBT centers or official banks to purchase their E-PINs.
- Ensure they have all required documents ready before heading to the centers.
- Avoid third-party agents or unauthorized vendors to prevent fraud.
- Stay updated on further announcements from JAMB regarding the full registration process.
JAMB Yet to Release an Official Statement
As of now, JAMB has not publicly confirmed the delay or provided an official reason for why E-PIN sales did not start earlier. However, CBT center operators have assured applicants that the process will begin by Wednesday and have urged candidates to remain patient.
This delay serves as a reminder for all applicants to always verify information from JAMB’s official website or accredited registration centers before making any purchase. Candidates are encouraged to stay alert for official updates to avoid misinformation.
With sales expected to start on March 12, hopeful DE applicants can now prepare to begin their registration process and secure their admission pathway into Nigerian tertiary institutions for the 2025 academic year.
Does it mean that, candidate that’s haven’t register for the JAMB can still register.
