JAMB tells DE candidates to upload results or forfeit admission

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has urged candidates who applied for admission in 2024 using the Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination (IJMB) and Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) to visit any approved computer based test centre (CBT) to upload their results as soon as they are released.

The board warned that failure to do so would result in disqualification from consideration for the 2024 DE admission.

The board said this in a statement signed by its Public Communication Advisor, Dr Fabian Benjamin.

It added that any application marked as “awaiting result” (AR) that does not comply with the directive will be disqualified from admission consideration.

The statement reads: “All candidates who applied for admission through the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) mode using awaiting results from IJMB or JUPEB should urgently visit any approved CBT centre to upload their results as soon as they are released.

“Failure to do so will result in disqualification from consideration for the 2024 DE admission.

“During the 2024 DE registration period, some candidates registered with awaiting results from IJMB and JUPEB but have not yet uploaded these results.

“Please note that no candidate will be considered for admission with awaiting results, similar to the policy for UTME candidates.

“Any application marked as ‘awaiting result’ (AR) that does not comply with this directive will be disqualified from admission consideration.

“It is essential that all candidate credentials are verified to determine their eligibility.

“Candidates without uploaded results will be regarded as not having any results.

“Additionally, candidates applying for the 2025 DE are encouraged to be proactive.

“Ensure that your awaiting results are uploaded promptly upon release to change your status from AR and enhance your chances of admission.”
