The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced on Sunday that the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) registration will now close on Monday, June 17, 2024.
To accommodate the increased number of prospective DE candidates, JAMB has expanded DE registration points beyond the Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) in states experiencing high demand.
This decision comes in response to numerous requests and pleas from stakeholders and authorities over the past month for an extension.
Oyo State: JAMB PTC, JAMB Zonal Office, Agodi G.R.A, Ibadan; FCE Special, CBT Centre, Oyo and JAMB PTC, Igboho.
For Kwara State: JAMB PTC, National Headquarters Annex, Old Jebba Road, Ilorin, Kwara State and University of Ilorin CBT Centre, Mini Campus.
Osun State has JAMB PTC, Alekuwodo; OSPDC, Oroki Estate, Ilobu Road, Osogbo, Osun State and JAMB PTC, Gbongon.
The Board urged all eligible candidates to take advantage of this opportunity to register as no further extension would be entertained, saying the previously announced criteria for DE registration remain unchanged.
However, the statement added that 3,921 outstanding 2024 UTME results, which had been cleared, have now been released. It urged concerned candidates to check their results by sending RESULT to 55019 or 66019. Those cleared will receive their results, while those rescheduled will be informed of their rescheduled status.
“The rescheduled candidates are to print their supplementary Examination Notification Slip from Tuesday, June 4, 2024, to ascertain their designated examination centers. This release brings the total number of results released to 1,883,350. The rescheduled examination will take place on Saturday, June 22, 2024, providing affected candidates adequate time to prepare.”
“This notice does not concern candidates whose results have already been released. Candidates with prima facie cases of examination misconduct will be further interrogated to establish their culpability, after which appropriate measures will be taken and announced,” the statement added.
The Board also announced that a supplementary 2024 UTME has been scheduled for Saturday, 22nd June 2024 for the following candidates: CAILS-KWASU candidates referred to above; some (20,550) of the candidates whose results are up till now under investigation; 2,702 candidates whose fingers could not be verified who are given the benefit of doubts to sit the 2024 UTME.
