JAMB Vows To Prosecute Direct Entry Candidates With Fake A-Level Qualifications
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has vowed to prosecute candidates who applied for the 2025 Direct Entry (DE) with fraudulent Advanced Levels (A-Levels) results.
The board disclosed this on Monday while announcing the commencement of sales for the 2025 Direct Entry (DE) application documents on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
The board, in a statement by its spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed that a special committee will verify all submitted A-level qualifications, adding that any fraudulent results will lead to prosecution.
JAMB also urged institutions to directly verify certificates before considering admissions.
It added that direct entry registration can only be done at JAMB Professional Registration Centres (PRC).
“This registration process is crucial for individuals who possess degrees, diplomas, or A-level certificates and wish to advance their education at their preferred universities.
“The initiation of the DE sales follows the successful conclusion of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) application sales, which ended on Saturday, March 8, 2025.
“During this period, JAMB recorded a total of 2,030,627 registrations for the 2025 UTME, along with 200,115 for the mock-UTME and 630 applications for the trial mock.
“JAMB has emphasized the importance of adhering to all entry requirements, warning that serious penalties will be imposed on applications containing false declarations,” the statement said.
