OFFICIAL: JAMB Announces Date For 2017 Direct Entry Registration

Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, will begin the sale of the 2017 Direct Entry forms and registration of foreign candidates on July 10.

JAMB’s Head of Public Relations, Fabian Benjamin, made the disclosure on Monday.

This is to inform the public especially candidates seeking to pursue their undergraduate studies via Direct Entry that the Board has announced the date for the 2017 Direct Entry registration.
This was disclosed by JAMB via its official Twitter handle.

According to the information, the 2017 Direct Entry registration will commence on July 10th, 2017

“Not that you just finished Senior Secondary Certificate Examination in 2016, and you are rushing to the United Kingdom to go and write your examination,”
Benjamin said.

He noted that measures had been put in place to ensure that candidates who wrote the previous examination and failed were not registered in foreign countries unless they meet the guideline.


Benjamin explained that the Direct Entry would be sold at the same price previously pegged at N5,000, adding that the Board was yet to fix the price for application for foreign candidates.

“We are discussing on that, we are looking at selling the forms at $100 (N31,525.00) for Africans and $150 (N47,287.50) for non-Africans,” he said.

He said that the JAMB Direct Entry was mainly for people who already possessed a diploma certificate and wished to do a programme in the university.
