The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned 2024 Direct Entry candidates with awaiting results to upload them or face disqualification.
The warning applies to those with results from the Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) or the Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB).
The disclosure was contained in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin. He stressed that no candidate would be considered for admission without verified results.
During the 2024 DE registration period, some candidates registered with awaiting results from IJMB and JUPEB but have not yet uploaded these results,” Benjamin stated. “Please note that no candidate will be considered for admission with awaiting results, in line with the policy for UTME candidates,” the statement read in part.
He further clarified that any application marked as ‘awaiting result’ (AR) that does not comply with this directive would be disqualified from admission consideration. According to him, it is essential that all candidates’ credentials are verified to determine their eligibility for admission.
Candidates who fail to upload their results will be regarded as not having any results,” Benjamin added.
Additionally, JAMB advised candidates applying for the 2025 Direct Entry admission to be proactive and ensure that their awaiting results are uploaded promptly upon release. This, Benjamin noted, would change their status from AR and enhance their chances of securing admission.
The statement emphasized that the board’s directive aligns with its commitment to ensuring a transparent and credible admission process for all applicants. Candidates are, therefore, urged to comply with the instructions to avoid losing their chances of securing admission into their preferred institutions.
