Can I Use Old Results for Direct Entry (DE) Application?

A few candidates had been asking if they could use their old results to obtain the Direct Entry form. Candidates with two, three, four, or a few years old WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, and GCE or NCE, ND, JUPEB, IJMB, HND, and  BSC results are asking if it is possible to use their results for JAMB Direct entry admission in the current admission year.

 

You may find yourself in this situation too. You’re considering seeking admission but the result with you – be it O level or A level is out of time (or to you, might have expired) for the programme you want to chase.

This post will be comprehensive enough to help you understand the basics of your results that are old for DE Admission- you will learn if this is possible or otherwise.

Old O’level Results Never Expires, Can Be Used for DE Application

Let’s start with SSCE results. Your WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or NBAIS result never expires. Hence, it can be used for any admissions – be it 100-level admission (UTME) or 200-level admission (DE). I covered this in my post, here I established it, with official references, that examination bodies had clarified that SSCE results never expire.

As a result, the result can be used for any purpose, including admission at any level (including DE application).

Old NCE, ND, HND, and BSC Results Never Expires, Can Be Used for DE Application

It’s important to note that, just like the SSCE results, graduates of NCE, ND, HND, and BSC certainly can use their results for Direct Entry admissions because this set of results never expires too.

It doesn’t matter how aged the result is. It’s still tenable and acceptable as long as the holders are still alive for any purpose – even beyond admissions.

Hence, if your degree or any of the above-listed academic results is 10 years or older, you can still use it to obtain the JAMB DE form and process your admission with it
