The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced the commencement of sales for its 2026 Direct Entry application forms.
In a statement shared on its official X handle, the examination body disclosed that registration began on Monday, March 2, 2026, and will run until Saturday, April 25, 2026.
According to the board, every stage of the registration process, including the purchase of e-PINs and completion of application forms, must be carried out exclusively at JAMB’s accredited state and zonal offices across the country.
The Direct Entry pathway allows candidates who possess qualifications such as a National Diploma (ND), National Certificate in Education (NCE), Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) certificate, A-Levels, or other recognised equivalents to secure admission directly into the 200 level of university programmes without taking the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
This development comes shortly after the conclusion of the 2026 UTME registration, which closed on February 28.
