I will recommend and explain two ways that candidates can use to apply for the Direct Entry Exam. The first method is the Fresh/New Application while the second is the application by upgrading.
D.E Fresh/New Application Method
This application method is for direct entry candidates with IJMB, NCE/ND, JUPEB, NABTEB Advanced, Cambridge, HND, or BSc who did not gain admission through JAMB.
Such candidates are to start afresh registration from the crash by starting with JAMB profile creation. But those who have an active JAMB profile should scroll down to the next section to see their application method.

On sending the above SMS, the candidate will be charged N50 and your profile confirmation code will be sent to the phone number that you use. Candidates are to use the confirmation code to purchase their ePIN.
JAMB DE Application Method by Upgrading
This method is for Interested JAMB candidates who might have applied for JAMB as a UTME candidate but later want to change and apply as a Direct Entry candidate.
Since JAMB doesn’t allow candidates to register as Direct Entry and UTME at the same time, such candidates above will have to upgrade their application to D.E.
This can easily be done by upgrading your JAMB profile from UTME to the DE of that same year.
