CHIDIMMA UCHEGBU
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has yielded to the request and pleas of many stakeholders and authorities for the extension of the period for the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) registration and has decided to bring to close exercise on Monday, 17th June,2024.
This is contained in a stamen made available to journalists in Abuja.
The Board also analysed the process and conduct of the 2024 UTME in some centres where there are strong proofs of substantial non-compliance with the Board’s standards and has rescheduled 24,535 candidates to retake their UTME examination in their chosen examination towns on Saturday, June 22, 2024.
Meanwhile, 3,921 outstanding 2024 UTME results that had been cleared have now been released. The release brings the total results released to 1,883,350. The board has subsequently urged concerned candidates to check their results from June 1, 2024 by sending RESULT to 55019 or 66019 to ascertain their status.
The board said those cleared would have their results while those rescheduled would be told that they had been rescheduled.
According to JAMB, the rescheduled candidates are to print their supplementary Examination Notification Slip from Tuesday, June 4, 2024 to ascertain their designated examination centres.
The board further stated that candidates with prima facie case(s) of examination misconduct, would be further interrogated to establish their culpability after which appropriate sanctions would be meted on them.
Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the wrap-up of the DE registration, JAMB has published DE registration points. The new points have been expanded beyond the Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) owned by JAMB as follows:

JAMB urges all eligible candidates to take advantage of the opportunity to register warning that no further extension would be entertained, adding that “the previously announced criteria for DE registration remain unchanged.”
ON CAILS-KWASU DIPLOMA”
Also, having held high-stake meetings with the principal officers of the Kwara State College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies (CAILS) and the Kwara State University (KWASU), on the CAILS-KWASU Diploma programme, the Board has agreed to conduct a special registration exercise for the 3,633 prospective candidates, who did not participate in the 2024 UTME based on the assumption that they would be accommodated in the 2024 DE exercise.
These candidates are, therefore, to register at any of the approved CBT centres in Kwara, Oyo or Osun State within the next one week (ending on Monday, 10th June, 2024.) to register for the UTME.
469 others among this category of UTME candidates who had already taken the 2024 UTME need not retake the examination. The one they have already taken suffices.
This concession is to ensure that, while standards are being maintained, efforts are in place to support and promote the aspirations of qualified and willing candidates even if it requires bending over backwards.
RELEASE OF ADDITIONAL RESULTS AND RESCHEDULED UTME
A supplementary 2024 UTME has been scheduled for Saturday, June 22, 2024 for the following candidates:
A) CAILS-KWASU candidates referred to above
B) Some (20,550) of the candidates whose results are up till now under investigation
C) 2,702 of Candidates whose fingers could not be verified who are given the benefit of doubts to sit the 2024 UTME.
The remaining 322 candidates have been migrated to the category of candidates under examination misconduct as a prima-facie case has clearly been established that those who had registered were not those who appeared for the examination. Consequently, the number of examination misconduct has increased by 322 to 431.
