The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the cancellation of the aptitude test for 2024 Direct Entry candidates.
Instead, the Board will consider other placement criteria for Direct Entry admissions.
In a post on its official X handle on Monday, JAMB informed the candidates of the development, stating: “Attention 2024 DE Candidates! This is to inform you that the Board has shelved the conduct of aptitude test for the year. Other placement criteria shall be considered for your admission while adequate preparation goes into the exercise ahead of next year.”
This decision means that Direct Entry candidates will no longer be required to take the aptitude test as a prerequisite for admission. The Board will instead explore other criteria to determine their eligibility for admission.
