So far, JAMB has not publicly set a date for how long UTME candidates will have to change their scores to Direct Entry for the 2025/2026 school year. Still, you are allowed to convert your UTME registration to Direct Entry if: you have taken the UTME this year, have a valid post-secondary diploma such as ND, HND, NCE, IJMB, or A-Level certificates, and want to be admitted into a 200-level program. Registration for Direct Entry is still open and is likely to keep going until JAMB later announces a closing date.
