JAMB Direct Entry Registration Process

Understanding JAMB Direct Entry

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in Nigeria provides an opportunity for prospective students to apply for university admission via its Direct Entry option. This is tailored for candidates who have acquired advanced level qualifications such as A-levels, OND, HND, NCE, or equivalents, offering them entry into the 200-level in Nigerian universities.

Eligibility Criteria

Before starting your registration process, check if you meet the eligibility criteria:

• Possession of OND, HND, NCE, or A-level certifications.
• These qualifications should be obtained from recognized institutions.
• Ensure you have at least five (5) credit passes including English and Mathematics at not more than two sittings in WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or equivalents.

Registration Steps

Follow these steps to ensure a successful registration:

Step 1: Procurement of JAMB Direct Entry Form

Visit any accredited JAMB registration center or bank to procure your JAMB Direct Entry e-PIN and registration form. The cost of the form is usually announced annually by JAMB.

Step 2: Create Your JAMB Profile

Go to the JAMB portal and create your profile by providing necessary personal information including email address and phone number.

Step 3: Register at a CBT Center

Visit an accredited JAMB Computer-Based Test (CBT) center to complete your registration. Bring your acquired e-PIN and other credentials. The CBT center will assist you in filling out the form properly and capturing your biometric data.

Step 4: Upload Supporting Documents
