The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the 2025 Direct Entry (DE) registration exercise, initially scheduled to close on Monday, April 7, 2025, will remain open until further notice.

JAMB 2025 Direct Entry registration continues until further notice

Prospective Direct Entry candidates can continue registering at any of the Board's designated Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) nationwide until an official closing date is announced.

Why JAMB Extended the DE Registration Window

  • According to the Board, extending the registration period allows JAMB to conclude ongoing investigations into candidates arrested or flagged for attempting to register with fraudulent A-Level results.
  • JAMB warned candidates with questionable certificates to stay away from the registration exercise and urged already-admitted students who previously used fake A-Level results to withdraw voluntarily, as the verification audit now covers past admissions.

If you are applying via Direct Entry or UTME, keep your academic preparation sharp with the Mentra JAMB CBT app and the Mentra POST-UTME app, available on both Android and iOS.
