Recall that JAMB had extended its 2024 Direct Entry registration by two weeks.
JAMB's spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, said the extension was to enable all candidates register for the examination.
Benjamin made this known in a statement issued on Saturday, March 23.
With the extension, the 2024 Direct Entry registration will no longer close on Thursday, March 28, 2024, but on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
“This extension became necessary following the challenges faced by candidates in going through some of the security screening measures put in place to arrest the rampant and embarrassing cases of fake A’level certificates being paraded by some DE candidates.
“The Board apologises for the inconveniences caused prospective DE candidates and pledges that, going forward, the process would be made more user-friendly.”
Much earlier, the board opened window for the applicants of 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to correct their subject combinations. The examination body said UTME candidates can correct their subjects combination from today 14th to 15th March, 2024.
