The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the cancellation of the aptitude test for the 2024 Direct Entry (DE) candidates.
The decision was communicated via JAMB’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday.
In their statement, JAMB wrote: “Attention 2024 DE Candidates!
“This is to inform you that the Board has shelved the conduct of aptitude test for the year, other placement criteria shall be considered for your admission while adequate preparation goes into the exercise ahead of next year.”
This means that for the 2024 admissions cycle, alternative placement criteria will be utilized to determine the admission of DE candidates.
The Board has assured that adequate preparation is being made for the subsequent year’s aptitude test.
Candidates were advised to stay informed on the new placement criteria that will be implemented for their admission.
