JAMB Scraps Aptitude Test Requirement for 2024 Direct Entry Applicants

 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the cancellation of the aptitude test requirement for Direct Entry (DE) candidates seeking admission in the 2024 academic session.

According to multiple credible news reports , JAMB made this decision on Monday, stating that other factors will now be considered for the admission of DE applicants instead of the previously mandatory aptitude assessment.

The Olympiastadion Berlin has been confirmed as the venue for the UEFA Euro 2024 final, which is set to take place in the German capital.

This move by JAMB is seen as a significant change in the admission process for Direct Entry candidates. The aptitude test was previously a crucial component of the DE application, but the board has now opted to evaluate applicants based on alternative criteria.

The decision to cancel the aptitude test requirement is likely aimed at streamlining the admission process and providing more flexibility for Direct Entry candidates seeking placement in Nigerian tertiary institutions for the 2024 academic year.
