The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that the last day for purchasing a Direct Entry, Direct Entry e-PIN in the year 2023 will be on Saturday, May 26, 2023.

The board has announced that those who have obtained the e-PIN will not be able to register after Tuesday, May 30, 2023.

 

In a statement issued on Tuesday morning, the acting Director of Public Affairs for JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, recalled that the registration for the 2023 DE, which had begun in February 2023, had been extended for all intending candidates to register and had, at one point, been suspended to facilitate the incorporation of certain measures to improve the sanctity of the exercise. This information was contained in a statement issued by JAMB.

He stated, “The 2023 DE registration is unique among the many others because it came with some features meant to enhance the Board’s capacity to permanently address those loopholes that had previously been exploited by some vested interests.”

“It was therefore not at all surprising to witness the surge in the number of candidates in one or two of our offices,” she said. “It was therefore not at all surprising to witness.”

“One of the many gains of the regulated DE registration exercise is the new regime, which has exposed the quantity of cases of falsifications and other infractions in the DE value chain as reported. This is just one of the many gains.

One of the positive aspects of the process is that the board has been able to select only candidates who are qualified for the open positions; the only places where exceptional candidates are still available are in a few of the Board’s offices, particularly in Lagos. Even in this case, the Board has decided to implement a scheduling system in which candidates will be allotted specific days for the registration of their DEs in order to prevent any further instances of overcrowding.

Fabian pointed out that the attention of the examination board had been drawn to the actions of a few desperate parents and tutorial centres, who are cooperating with one another to commit acts that are detrimental to the education sector and the interests of the nation.

According to what he had to say, “As a consequence of this, the Board is reiterating its determination to always innovate means and ways of checkmating all acts of infractions, and at the same time, it would not hesitate to impose appropriate sanctions on any A Level awarding institutions that were found to be wanting.” Every A Level institution has been warned to be on the lookout because there are candidates who are desperate enough to have the intention of sabotaging their operations on purpose.

“All genuine aspiring DE candidates,” the statement reads, “who have yet to register for the exercise are, therefore, urged to come out now to register as the Board would not entertain any further extension.”
