The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has notified all 2025 Direct Entry (DE) candidates that the portal for correction of data—specifically for changing courses and institutions—will be activated in due course.

JAMB notice to Direct Entry candidates on correction of data

Why DE Data Correction Is Delayed

  • A-Level Result Release & Verification: JAMB explained that the DE change of course/institution service is not typically opened before the release and verification of A-Level results by issuing institutions.
  • Complete Academic Records: With the exception of awaiting-result applicants, all necessary records were collected during DE registration. Waiting until A-Level results are verified ensures that candidates' academic profiles are complete before changes are made.

What DE Candidates Should Do

Remain patient and monitor official JAMB communication channels and accredited CBT platforms for the exact commencement date of the DE data correction window. You can also explore admission tools on the Mentra JAMB CBT app on Android and iOS.

Yes, Gerald! Visit an accredited JAMB PRC or office to upload your JUPEB result on CAPS and ensure your awarding institution verifies it on the NIPEDS platform.
