Difference Between JAMB Direct Entry and JAMB UTME

The primary difference between JAMB Direct Entry (DE) and JAMB Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) lies in the level of entry and the qualification requirements:

1) All You Need to Know about JAMB Direct Entry (DE)

Here is all you need to know about JAMB direct entry admission this year:

1. JAMB direct entry is meant for candidates who have already completed higher qualifications, such as a National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND), or a Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) or other equivalent qualifications.
2. As a Direct-entry candidate, you can apply for admission to a university programme’s second or third year, depending on the course and the institution’s admission policies.
3. This route bypasses the first year, enabling you to continue your education at an advanced level.

2) All You Need to Know about JAMB UTME

Here is everything to know about JAMB UTME admission this year:

1. UTME stands for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
2. UTME is for you if you want to gain admission into a tertiary institution in Nigeria.
3. However, you must have completed your O’level (SSCE/NECO/WASSCE), or you can still use an AWAITING RESULT.
4. JAMB-UTME is a standard examination for students seeking admission into the first year of a university programme.
5. As a Jambite, you must write the UTME and meet the minimum score set by your chosen institution to be eligible for admission into 100-level courses.

Additional Information

If you are a Direct Entry (DE) candidate, you will only register and not be allowed to participate in the UTME examination.

You can choose up to three universities, one polytechnic, and one college or technical institution for both the JAMB Direct Entry and UTME programs.

However, you can only select one university as your first choice and the other two as your second and third choices.

You can register for JAMB while waiting for your results.

However, you must upload the results later to be considered for admission.
