Universities Accepting Awaiting Results for Direct Entry (DE)

In recent updates for Direct Entry (DE) admissions, candidates applying with qualifications like BSc, HND, ND, NCE, RN, and RM cannot use awaiting results due to JAMB's implementation of certificate verification processes. However, candidates using IJMB, JUPEB, or Cambridge A'level programs can still register with awaiting results, facilitated by agreements between JAMB and these awarding bodies to ensure a secure and verified admission process, aimed at maintaining the integrity of DE admissions.

When it's time you're considering Direct Entry (DE), you may want to know if you can use awaiting results. In other words, you're seeking a list of universities that will accept awaiting results for their DE admission.

Of course, before this post was updated, I could have told you YES, you could use awaiting results. In fact, in the recent post, I emphasized that no universities will reject your DE application for using awaiting results because it's widely welcome.

In this updated post, a few things have changed. Universities are accepting awaiting results but not for all qualifications. Or better put, to register DE at JAMB offices (as that is the only place you can register DE for now), you will need to have both your O'level and A'level results (in fact, certificate), except in a PARTICULAR SITUATION, before you can register.

And don't forget processing DE admission starts with its registration. In this post, I will be clarifying what is the latest about using awaiting results.

I had covered so much on the use of awaiting results (AR) for admissions including UTME, Remedial, Advanced courses, Predegree, etc. in the past. Read that, if that's why you on this page.

You Can't Use Awaiting Results For DE If BSC, HND, ND, NCE, RN, RM

Among acceptable qualifications for DE are BSc, HND, ND, NCE, RN, and RM. If you're seeking your DE admission using any of the above, the option to use awaiting results will not be available to you.

The reason for this is because the board has started the process of results/certificates verification before a student will be processed for DE admission. So, if you don't have your results at hand during the DE registration, JAMB will have nothing to verify with your former school.

Similarly, needless to say, the board has experienced a series of dubious activities among students seeking DE admission, in the past, and as such wants to be sure the system catches up with them at the very starting stage of the application.

As a result, if you belong to any of the programs/qualifications above, below is the list of items that you must take along when visiting the JAMB office for DE registration:

1. NIN
2. Phone Number used to get profile code/profile code
3. Qualification certificate or statement of result (if not more than 2 years)
4. O'level result
5. JAMB admission letter for your present qualification

You Can Use Awaiting Results If IJMB, JUPEB or Cambridge

Among the acceptable A'level programs for direct entry admission are IJMB, JUPEB, and Cambridge A'level. If you're using any of these for your DE processing, you may be at peace knowing that JAMB will allow you to register for DE even with awaiting results.

The board is aware that bodies in charge of the A'level programs above usually have acceptable reasons to have some delays in releasing the results of the students for the current admission years. As such, they've reached an agreement with the bodies to use awaiting results.

In the case of IJMB, JUPEB, and Cambridge candidates, you must visit the JAMB office with the following:

1. NIN
2. Phone Number used to get profile code/profile code
3. A'level certificate or statement of result (if not more than 2 years) or Application/registration number if awaiting
4. O'level result

What JAMB Office Will Fill For DE Applicants Using Awaiting Results?

1. For those who use awaiting results for SSCE, the official will fill in AR for all your required subjects and leave the space for “scanned upload” empty until you return for reuploading later.
2. For those using A’level awaiting results, the center will fill in AR for your grade, then you have zero (0) points until you return to scan and upload that.
3. Note that no school will give you admission with 0 point.

Universities Accepting Awaiting Result For Direct Entry

As earlier said, if your grade doesn’t reflect in your registration, no school will give you admission. So don’t be misled that some schools may still offer you space notwithstanding.

Whereas, generally all universities whether federal, state, or private is accepting awaiting results for direct entry registration, if A'level. Otherwise NO! What matters, in the end, is for applicants to return to CBT centers for the uploading they can expect any offer from any of these universities.

Let’s see how admission will be processed to get a better idea of why.

1. After your DE registration, candidates will be scheduled for CBT later. You must partake in the exam. This started from 2024 admission year.
2. JAMB will then contact your former school to verify the certificate or statement of result. Once that is successful, you're good to go for next stage.
3. The board will forward the list of applicants to the universities so they can prepare or invite you for their post-UTME/DE or screening (whichever the university is using).
4. The university will conduct the entrance exam and/or screening. Then if you pass, they forward the list of applicants they prefer and wish to admit to JAMB
5. JAMB checks to see that you’ve uploaded all your results i.e. SSCE and NCE, ND, etc during or after the DE registration. If things are all completed, the board will give you admission through JAMB CAPS which you must accept before you can be able to print the JAMB admission letter.
6. Then, the university is sent the final list which the university will upload to its portal for you to see and pay your acceptance fee.

Conclusion

While the option to use awaiting results for Direct Entry (DE) admission was previously broadly accepted, changes have been made. For qualifications like BSc, HND, ND, NCE, RN, and RM, awaiting results are no longer accepted due to the implementation of result/certificate verification processes by JAMB. 

However, candidates using IJMB, JUPEB, or Cambridge A'level can still register with awaiting results, thanks to agreements between JAMB and the awarding bodies. This differentiation ensures a more secure and verified admission process, aligning with the need to curb dubious application activities and maintain the integrity of the DE admission process.
