The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has debunked the rumour spreading that Direct Entry registration would close by Monday, April 7.
This was revealed in a statement signed by the spokesperson of the board, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.
According to the board, “The registration process, which began on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, will continue until a closing date is announced. Therefore, candidates who wish to register can do so at any of the Board’s designated Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) on Monday and continuing until the official closing date is revealed.”
Jamb explained that this liberalization of the registration period gives the Board time to complete ongoing investigations regarding candidates who are either arrested or under scrutiny for attempting to use fraudulent A-Level results for registration.
“We strongly advise candidates with questionable credentials to refrain from participating in the registration process, as the Board has implemented measures to identify individuals with such credentials, both now and in the future.”

JAMB, however, urged candidates who have previously used fraudulent results to withdraw voluntarily from the examination as the Board is expanding its investigations to include students who have already been admitted.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) earlier ruled out the extension of UTME registration beyond March 8 as over 1.5m candidates have registered.
The registration period for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), which began on February 3, ended on March 8.
