JAMB Pushes 2026 Direct Entry Registration Deadline to May 22
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has extended the 2026 Direct Entry registration period to May 22, 2026. This allows candidates extra time to gather credentials and complete their applications. Earlier, the deadline was moved to May 8, and new accredited centres were approved nationwide to ease the process. This latest extension underscores the board’s effort to ensure all eligible applicants are captured. Prospective candidates are urged to finalise their registration as soon as possible. The board will convene an admission policy meeting on May 11, 2026, ahead of the official start of the admission exercise.
