JAMB Urges 2024 Direct Entry Candidates to Upload Awaiting Results or Face Disqualification

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has called on all 2024 Direct Entry (DE) candidates who registered with awaiting results from the Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) and the Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) to upload their results at any approved CBT center as soon as they are released.
In a statement issued by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the board emphasized that failure to upload these results would result in disqualification from admission consideration. He noted that the policy prohibiting awaiting results for admission consideration applies to both DE and UTME candidates.
Dr. Benjamin further explained that any application marked as “awaiting result” (AR) that does not comply with this directive will be automatically disqualified. He stressed that all credentials must be verified to determine candidates’ eligibility and that those who fail to upload their results will be considered as having no results at all.
Additionally, JAMB advised candidates applying for the 2025 DE admission to be proactive by ensuring their results are uploaded promptly upon release. This, he said, would help change their status from “awaiting result” and improve their chances of securing admission.
