Highlighting the eligibility criteria, the article underscores the need for candidates not awaiting results to upload their A’ level qualifications, O’ level results, and Direct Entry registration template during registration. Emphasis is placed on the importance of verification by awarding institutions through JAMB’s Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
For candidates awaiting results from IJMB/JUPEB/NABTEB, the article provides insights into the verification process, clarifying that the results may take up to 28 days. It emphasizes the importance of uploading Admission Letters and Registration Templates during registration for a smoother verification process.
Candidates using a Statement of Results (in lieu of a certificate) are reminded that this is accepted for registration only within three years of the date of award, offering a time limit to consider.
Dr. Benjamin warns against presenting A’ level certificates from awarding institutions that refused to verify certificates for the 2023 admission, reinforcing the Board’s commitment to credibility.

We concludes by urging aspiring candidates to adhere strictly to outlined requirements and deadlines. The Direct Entry mode, serving as an alternative route to tertiary institutions, opens doors for those with qualifications beyond traditional O’ level certificates.
