We’ll not process Direct Entry admissions without certificate verification, says JAMB 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on Friday warned it would not process any Direct Entry (DE) admission without certificate verification for Advance Level candidates that applied for the 2023 admissions.

The Board said the candidates should contact their former institutions for prompt verification of their certificates as it would not consider all affected students of non-responsive institutions for admissions for the academic year.

This was made known in a statement issued on the Board’s official X handle.

JAMB said it had written to all tertiary institutions that issued the certificates but a significant number of them responded positively, while others have not.

The statement read: “This is to inform all A-Level candidates that applied for the 2023 admissions through Direct Entry (DE) to contact their former institutions for prompt verification of their certificates.

“To expedite the verification process, the Board on its part has written to all tertiary institutions that issued the certificates and a significant number of them have responded positively, while others have been lackadaisical.

“You are to hereby note that the Board would not process any DE admission without certificate verification and that admission process for the academic year would soon be concluded.

“As such, the Board would not consider all affected students of non-responsive institutions for admissions for the academic year.”

The examination body further provided link for candidates to access the list of the non-responsive institutions.
