The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has begun the sale of application documents for the 2026 Direct Entry programme.
JAMB announced this via its official X account yesterday. The board confirmed that registration commenced today, Monday, 2 March 2026, and will end on Saturday, 25 April 2026.
It stated that the entire registration process, including the purchase of e-PINs and application documents, is restricted exclusively to its accredited state and zonal offices across the country.
“2026 Direct Entry Registration: This is to inform prospective DE applicants that the sale of application documents has commenced today, Monday, 2 March 2026, and will end on Saturday, 25 April 2026.
“Please note that this service can be accessed only at our offices nationwide,” the board stated.
The Direct Entry programme allows candidates with recognised 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, bypassing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
