The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has announced that the tertiary Direct Entry application, which began in December 2017, would close on the 4th of June.
Speaking in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja, JAMB’s chief spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, further disclosed that over 140, 000 candidates have so far obtained the forms online.
He said that the deadline became necessary so as to give the board enough room to prepare for the 2018 admission process into various institutions. He said: “With the policy meeting coming up on June 26, which involves the Minister of Education and all stakeholders in the sector, the 2018 admission guidelines would be discussed and approved for the board. This includes both for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and DE. Therefore, candidates who are still interested and want to apply for the DE should use the window period of seven days to apply, as no extension of date will be granted.”
