The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially launched the 2026 Direct Entry (DE) application process.
In a statement on its official X account, the board confirmed, “Registration commenced today, Monday, 2nd March 2026 and will end by Saturday, 25th April 2026.”
JAMB stressed that all aspects of the registration, including the purchase of e-PINs and application documents are available only at its accredited state and zonal offices across Nigeria.
Direct Entry provides a pathway for candidates with recognized qualifications such as National Diploma (ND), National Certificate in Education (NCE), Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB), A-level certificates, or other approved equivalents to gain direct admission into 200-level university programmes.
The announcement comes shortly after the successful conclusion of the 2026 UTME registration, which closed on 28th February.
