The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has begun the sale of forms for the 2026 Direct Entry programme.
In a notice shared on its official X page, the board announced that registration started on Monday, March 2, 2026, and will run until Saturday, April 25, 2026.
JAMB stated that all stages of the process, including the purchase of e-PINs and application forms must be completed only at its accredited state and zonal offices nationwide.
The Direct Entry route is designed for 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.
It allows eligible applicants to gain admission directly into 200 level in universities without sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
The development comes shortly after the board concluded registration for the 2026 UTME, which ended on February 28.
