The exact closing date for JAMB Direct Entry registration for 2026/2027 is usually announced on the official JAMB portal. Candidates are strongly advised to complete their registration early to avoid last-minute issues. Typically, registration closes a few weeks before the commencement of the Direct Entry exams.
