THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it may bar students from 155 institutions from processing Direct Entry (DE) admissions, stating that this decision is due to failed verification from their certificate-awarding institutions.
Recall that JAMB had issued an advisory to guide DE candidates to address the issue of candidates using unacceptable or forged A-level certificates/ qualifications to gain admission. 
DE candidates were advised to contact their former institutions to have their certificates verified, as JAMB would not accept students with unverified certificates.
The memo sent by JAMB to some of the institutions read in part: “Institutions awarding A’ Level qualifications, degrees, and diplomas had been requested, through the Central Admissions Processing System to verify the authenticity of the qualifications and results presented by candidates to the Board for admission. 
“Despite the letters and follow-ups made by the Board to institutions to verify the claimed certificates, 2,795 are yet to be verified from 155 institutions, as some have partially or totally not responded.”
Meanwhile, it should be noted that the registration for DE examinations is set to commence on February 28, 2024.
