JAMB has said that there won’t be any further extension for DE Registration beyond June 17.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said that there will be no further extension of 2024 Direct Entry (DE) registration after June 17, 2024 deadline.

 

JAMB spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a press statement on Wednesday, urged candidates to take advantage of the opportunity to register.

It would be recalled that JAMB recently announced the extension period for the 2024 Direct Entry(DE) registration to Monday, June 17, 2024 and approved extra registration points apart from the Professional Registration Centres (PRCs), which are JAMB-owned centres, in Lagos, Kwara, Osun and Osun States.

 

The extension of the registration points, according to the Board, was to ensure that every eligible candidate is given the opportunity to realise their dream of registering for the exercise.

The statement said; “Eligible candidates wishing to register for the 2024 DE are urged to take advantage of this window of opportunity to register as no further extension would be entertained by the Board.

“The general public is also invited to take note of these extra registration points provided by the Board and the unexpected near-zero turnouts of prospective DE candidates at these registration facilities as the Board would not listen to any further call for an extension when it eventually closes the exercise on Monday, 17th June 2024.”

 

Similarly, JAMB said candidates who were scheduled for the 2024 Supplementary UTME are to note that the examination is scheduled to hold between Friday and Saturday, June 21-22, 2024.

 

The Board had earlier announced only Saturday, June 22, 2024 for the examination, but now added Friday, June 21, 2024, due to the gracious release of the Friday, June 21 by one of the sister examination bodies.
