If JAMB Won’t Reopen DE, It Allows Upgrade UTME to DE

Let’s talk about the latest issue of whether JAMB will reopen the Direct Entry (DE) form again this year. Let me show you the way out if you missing DE registration. Let me open your eyes to what can be done if you still need admission through Direct entry this year.

Before that, there are things to know.

JAMB Direct Entry Form Has Been Closed

In case you want to know or be sure whether the Direct Entry form has closed or not, I’m sorry to tell you that DE IS TRULY CLOSED.

We’re all disappointed with the date when the form closed. How can JAMB close UTME and DE on the same date and without an extension?

What we were used to is the DE form closing some weeks after the UTME form has closed. Things suddenly changed!

In fact, it has never happened in the history of admission in Nigeria until 2018. But it’s happened anyway. And the next question aspiring candidates keep asking is “Is JAMB going to open the DE portal again this year?”

I’m here to answer that.

JAMB May Open DE Form Again

From a reliable source but unofficial, I’d gathered that Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; the main administrator of IJMB (A’level exams conducted in order to obtain DE form) has already met JAMB and the ministry of education in order for DE registration to be reopened again this year.

IJMB has certain levies to pay the federal government. And if their candidates won’t be allowed to obtain DE form this year, the government will lose out as well.

The source made it known that, for the sake of IJMB candidates, JAMB may soon reopen DE registration. The body has promised that once IJMB results are out, candidates will be informed if the registration reopens. You can also subscribe to this blog for such updates.

And now, the result is out. We should be on the look for it sooner
