The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced an extension for the sale of Direct Entry (DE) application documents, moving the deadline to May 8th, 2026. This extension aims to ensure that no prospective candidate is denied the opportunity to access tertiary education in the country.
In addition to the extended deadline, JAMB has approved five new registration centres in areas with high demand, to ease the pressure on existing centres. The new centres are:
Centre for Open and Distance Learning (CODL), Mini Campus, University of Ilorin, Kwara State
Bells University of Technology, Km 8, Idiroko Road, Ota, Ogun State
Olabisi Onabanjo University, Centre 1, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State
Prof. Usman E-Learning Centre, Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo, Oyo State
Human Development Initiatives (Grace House), No. 2, Iwaya, Sabo, Opposite Onike Girls Junior High School, Onike, Lagos State (Starting operations from Thursday, 30th April 2026)
JAMB has reminded prospective candidates that its offices nationwide, including Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) and Professional Testing Centres (PTCs), remain open for the ongoing 2026 Direct Entry registration.
