JAMB wants students who applied for 2024 Direct Entry with IJMB or JUPEB scores marked "awaiting results" to act fast. Once their results come out, students must head to any approved CBT center right away to upload them. JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin made this clear Sunday in Abuja, stressing that students who miss this step cannot be considered for admission this year.
Many applicants registered for Direct Entry using the "awaiting results" option for IJMB and JUPEB programs but never updated their profiles once they received their final scores. Benjamin explained that JAMB follows the same rule for both DE and UTME students - nobody enters college with pending test results. Any application still showing "awaiting results" status will automatically lose its place in the admissions process.
The board needs to check every credential to ensure that applicants actually qualify. Students who fail to upload their results basically tell JAMB they have nothing to show. The system treats empty profiles exactly the same as failed tests or missing qualifications—these students simply cannot move forward in the process.
Benjamin added advice for future applicants planning to try Direct Entry next year. Anyone applying for 2025 DE should learn from current mistakes and immediately upload new results when they arrive. This changes your status from "waiting" to "complete" and keeps your application active. Students who stay on top of these requirements significantly improve their chances of successfully entering their chosen schools.
