This guide highlights everything you need \u2014 and what to avoid \u2014 so you can register confidently and correctly.<\/p>\n

1. What Is Direct Entry (DE)?<\/h2>\n

JAMB Direct Entry allows candidates with advanced qualifications\u2014such as ND, NCE, HND, JUPEB, IJMB, A-Level, or equivalent\u2014to gain direct admission into 200-level.
