Universities that will Accept Direct Entry Applicants

JAMB logo
I'd covered a series of posts around the JAMB Direct Entry form and admissions into various universities. Some of those posts are linked within and at the end of this article. Kindly check them.

However, a topic of concern now is to point out the list of universities that accept direct entry applicants and probably those that are not accepting them.

In other words, are all universities accepting applications for Direct entry? Or is there any university not accepting DE applicants?

If you're on this page to get answers to these questions, kindly read to the end of the post. We have more things to talk about.

Direct Entry Applications are Widely Accepted But Not Generally

Confused?

For the basics, Direct entry applications, in this context, are the JAMB forms obtained by holders of BSC, HND, ND, NCE, RM/RN, IJMB, JUPEB, NABTEB A'level, and Cambridge who want to proceed to universities in order to further their studies into related courses to their previous ones or new ones entirely.


Direct Entry, in this sense, is different from what most candidates mistake for admissions into universities or polytechnics without JAMB. We can best refer to those ones as part-time admissions (daily or regular), distance learning, or sandwiches.

Back to the heading above, all universities are expected to accept DE applicants. However, a few don't have provisions for DE at all or have provisions but not for all their approved courses.

Let's ride on.

Some Universities Have Preferences For Certain A'levels

For instance, some universities will prefer BSC or IJMB over NCE or JUPEB and vice versa. In fact, some may accept certain A'levels but with certain conditions such as "we don't accept Maths in A'levels". This means for such a course, the university won't accept a candidate who sat for Maths in JUPEB, IJMB, etc. In fact, some don't admit into some departments through DE at all.

More on this later.

To open your mind to these situations, I extracted a few courses from the official JAMB brochure

For certain courses, some universities make it clear that they won't accept direct entry applicants at all or for certain reasons (usually best known to them). Except for those that state such conditions, other universities are accepting candidates for the courses through the JAMB Direct Entry.

In other words, if a school doesn't state that it's not accepting Direct Entry applicants, through the JAMB brochure, the university ultimately will accept you if you choose them for DE and provided admission requirements are met.

Courses and Universities Accepting Direct Entry Based on Conditions

The following courses and institutions are just a few chosen to explain the situations some applicants may find themselves in while seeking admissions through JAMB direct entry. However, for more, if your course or university is not here, kindly check the list of courses and universities in my mini JAMB brochure or check the official one online.

The list given above generally accepts DE applications but may not under certain conditions, for selected courses, with selected grades, with selected programs, etc. However, we have some universities that are not accepting Direct Entry applications to date.
This is also called Nigeria Army, Airforce, and Nay University. Irrespective of the courses, applicants' grades, A'level programs, and so on, the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) doesn't accept applicants for DE. In other words, they're not admitting to the 200 level through JAMB.

The university strictly admits to her 100-level courses, only the UTME applicants.

2. Nigerian Police Academy (POLAC)

Similarly, the Nigerian Police Academy (the Nigerian Police University) doesn't accept DE applications to date. Interested applicants are to obtain their forms using UTME and O'level results. The only admission into the 100 level is possible till now.
