JAMB to Open 2017 Direct Entry Application Portal On July 10th
Head of Public Relations, Joint Admission
and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Dr. Fabian Benjamin.says the body will begin the sale of the 2017 Direct Entry
forms and registration of foreign candidates on July 10th.
Speaking
in an interview with newsmen on Monday in Abuja, Mr. Benjamin said the
process of registration for the Direct Entry was spelt out in the just
concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
He
said candidates for Direct Entry were expected to have Advanced Level, Diploma
or its equivalent, while foreign candidates must possess proof of residency
abroad.
He
noted that measures had been put in place to ensure that candidates who wrote
the previous examination and failed were not registered in foreign countries,
unless they meet the guideline.
Mr.
Benjamin explained that the Direct Entry would be sold at the same price
previously pegged at N5,000, adding that the Board was yet to fix the price for
application for foreign candidates.
“We
are discussing on that, we are looking at selling the forms at $100
(N31,525.00) for Africans and $150 (N47,287.50) for non-Africans,” he said.
He said that the JAMB Direct Entry was mainly for people who already
possessed a diploma certificate and wished to do a programme in the university.
