JAMB Direct Entry Registration Begins Today, Wednesday, March 12, 2025

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially commenced the 2025 Direct Entry (DE) registration today, Wednesday, March 12, 2025. This marks the beginning of the admission process for candidates seeking direct entry into 200 level in Nigerian universities without sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

This development follows the closure of UTME registration on March 8, 2025, which recorded over 2 million candidates applying for the exam. With Direct Entry now open, candidates with advanced qualifications such as ND, HND, NCE, IJMB, JUPEB, and other A-Level certificates can now apply for admission into their preferred institutions.

JAMB’s 2025 Direct Entry Registration Guidelines

JAMB has introduced new measures to ensure a seamless and transparent Direct Entry registration process. Some of the key guidelines include:

• Accredited Registration Centers Only: All DE applicants must complete their registration at JAMB-approved Professional Registration Centres (PRCs). Cybercafés and unauthorized agents are not allowed to process applications.
• Strict Document Verification: JAMB has set up a special committee to verify all submitted certificates. Candidates must ensure their documents are authentic, as anyone caught using fake credentials will be disqualified and may face legal consequences.
• Institutional Screening: Universities and other tertiary institutions will conduct additional screenings to validate the authenticity of applicants’ qualifications before granting admission.

Who is Eligible for JAMB Direct Entry 2025?

Direct Entry registration is open to candidates who have:

• National Diploma (ND) or Higher National Diploma (HND)
• Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE)
• IJMB, JUPEB, or other A-Level certificates
• A Bachelor’s Degree but wish to transfer to another institution or course

Next Steps for Direct Entry Applicants

With registration now open, all interested candidates should visit JAMB-accredited centers to begin their application process. Applicants should:

• Prepare all necessary documents before proceeding with registration.
• Check the admission requirements of their preferred universities before applying.
• Follow JAMB’s official website and social media pages for any updates or announcements.
