JAMB to Commence Sale of Direct Entry Forms on March 12

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will start selling direct entry forms for candidates seeking admission into higher institutions through the direct entry route on Wednesday, March 12.

This information was shared in a statement released in Abuja on Monday by the board’s communications advisor, Fabian Benjamin.

According to Mr. Benjamin, the registration process is essential for individuals who hold degrees, diplomas, or A-level certificates and aspire to further their education at their chosen universities.

He stated that the commencement of direct entry sales follows the successful completion of the application process for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), which officially closed on Saturday, March 8, 2025.

“During this period, JAMB recorded a total of 2,030,627 registrations for the 2025 UTME, along with 200,115 for the Mock-UTME and 630 applications for the trial mock,” he said.

Mr. Benjamin further explained that JAMB has stressed the necessity of complying with all entry requirements, cautioning that strict penalties would be applied to any applications containing false information.

“A special committee will verify all submitted Advanced A Level Qualifications, and any fraudulent results will lead to prosecution.

“Additionally, institutions are encouraged to directly verify certificates before considering admissions,” he said.

He also stated that registration for direct entry can only be carried out at JAMB Professional Registration Centres (PRC).
