The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has begun the sale of the 2017 Direct Entry forms into Nigerian universities.
The JAMB Head of Public Relations, Fabian Benjamin, last week Monday in Abuja said the forms will be available online on the 10th of July 2017 and candidates for Direct Entry are expected to have Advanced Level, Diploma or its equivalent, while foreign candidates must possess proof of residency abroad.

“For foreign candidates to be eligible to write the examination in a foreign center, they must have stayed in the foreign country for at least a minimum of six months.
“You must have schooled there, you must have had your secondary education there; you must show evidence of having stayed there for a period of six months.
“If you have stayed in Nigeria and just flown to London to register, you are not eligible; you must have schooled or had your secondary education outside the country.
“Not that you just finished Senior Secondary Certificate Examination in 2016, and you are rushing to the United Kingdom to go and write your examination,†Mr. Benjamin said.
The Direct Entry is sold at the same price previously pegged at N5,000, adding that the Board was yet to fix the price for application for foreign candidates.
He said that the JAMB Direct Entry was mainly for people who already possessed a diploma certificate and wished to do a programme at the university.
