The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a fresh extension of the registration deadline for the 2026 Direct Entry (DE) admission exercise, providing prospective candidates with additional time to complete their applications.
According to the Board, the registration process will now officially close on Saturday, July 4, 2026.
The extension is expected to accommodate eligible candidates who are yet to register due to various challenges encountered during the registration period. JAMB has urged all prospective Direct Entry applicants to take advantage of this opportunity and complete their registration before the new deadline.
Candidates are advised to visit accredited JAMB Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) to finalize their registration and ensure that all required information and supporting documents are correctly submitted.
Prospective applicants should avoid waiting until the final hours of registration, as network congestion and other unforeseen technical issues could affect successful registration.
Following the close of registration, JAMB is expected to proceed with the next phases of the 2026 Direct Entry admission process. Candidates are encouraged to continue monitoring official JAMB announcements for further updates.
