Are you seeking admission for Business Education as a Direct Entry applicant? This post details the official list of universities offering Business Education and the direct entry requirements. This post will be divided into. One, what JAMB generally requires of you before seeking DE admission and what those universities had waived or added to JAMB's requests. 

Business Education Direct Entry

Before you seek admission through Direct Entry, you should know these:

1. Applicants must first obtain JAMB DE form through which they will consider at most two most interested institutions. Though only the first choice is likely to consider you for the offer.
2. Applicants should know that they may be required to also obtain the post-DE forms of their universities of choice too. Here, you will be asked to write exams if such a university adopts exams or participate in the online/physical screening. Check the difference between this in the post, "Post UTME/DE: Will it be Exams or Admission Screening?"
3. Applicants will also be following their admission status on the official JAMB CAPS in order to know when they're offered admission eventually.
4. This post will contain the acronyms for the universities. Hence, if you don't know the full meaning of an acronym, just click here for the full list of these institutions, their names, and addresses.
