JAMB Extends 2025 Direct Entry Registration Deadline Until Further Notice

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced on Saturday that the 2025 Direct Entry (DE) registration will not end on Monday, April 7, 2025, countering circulating reports.

JAMB confirmed that the registration, which started on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, will continue without a fixed deadline until an official closing date is made known.

In a statement released by Fabian Benjamin, Public Communication Advisor for the Board, it was stated that, “Therefore, candidates who wish to register can do so at any of the Board’s designated Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) on Monday and continuing until the official closing date is revealed.”

The board explained that extending the registration period will allow time to finish ongoing investigations into candidates who have been caught or are being monitored for trying to register with fake A-Level results.

“This liberalization of the registration period allows the Board to complete ongoing investigations into candidates who have been arrested or are under scrutiny for attempting to use fraudulent A-Level results for registration.”

JAMB cautioned candidates who possess suspicious documents against proceeding with the process, as systems are in place to detect such individuals during and after the registration phase.

“We strongly advise candidates with questionable credentials to refrain from participating in the registration process, as the Board has implemented measures to identify individuals with such credentials, both now and in the future.”

The board also encouraged anyone who had used forged documents in the past to come forward and withdraw before facing consequences, as scrutiny is now being extended to previously admitted students as well.

“If you have previously used fraudulent results, we urge you to withdraw voluntarily, as the Board is expanding its investigations to include students who have already been admitted.”
