I just felt this is the right time to talk about this once and for all, since most of this year prospective direct entry applicants keep asking for what is the meaning of Jamb regularization, jamb regularization deadline, jamb regularization fee and how to get jamb regularization number. Since this is new to most people, I will use this post to discuss all about regularization.
Before, there was nothing like Jamb regularization.
Then, if you are a direct entry applicant then, all you need to do is to obtain your DE form from Jamb office and fill the form appropriately. You don’t even need to go to cafe because you can do it with your phone since there was no biometric.
Now the story has completely changed. Direct entry registration has became more tough. Jamb has introduced Biometric capturing and Jamb regularization.
So What Is Jamb Regularization or Late Application?
The only question that will come to your mind when you heard of this phrase is ”What is Jamb regularization?
This simply means reconciliation of your OND/ND/NCE/HND admission between your institution and JAMB. I hope you understand what I mean? In case you don’t, let me explain Jamb regularization in another way.
Note that, JAMB regularisation is also known as LATE APPLICATION on JAMB website.
Meaning Of Regularization In Practical
When you got admission into your previous school, Polytechnic, College of Education or any other one. There are chances that your polytechnic or college of education admitted you without Jamb’s Knowledge or approval. This could happened in two ways:
1. You were admitted as a part time student who did not write UTME to secure the admission. So you don’t even have Jamb number.
2. You wrote UTME and you got admission but your school did not notify Jamb of your admission. Even though you have Jamb number.
Whatever the situation is, you are in the same problem.
.
How To Know You Have Regularization Problem Before You Obtain Direct Entry Form
This is not funny, because you might not have been aware if not that you want to obtain direct entry form, or you want to go to NYSC. To know if you have this problem. Follow the steps below:
1. Go to www.jamb.org.ng
2. Scroll to the year you wrote your jamb (e.g 2013)
3. Click on Check admission Status
4. Enter your Jamb number and click enter.
You are meant to get a message, showing your details, school, passport and the course you studied in ND/NCE/HND. then you are not going to regularize. Just go ahead and apply for DE.
But if you got a message like ‘Sorry no admission is given yet ‘…, then you need to regularize before applying for direct entry/NYSC.
Note: The above procedures is to be carried out only by those who have a Jamb number. In case you were a part time students then, you entered without taking Jamb, don’t bother to check. I will tell you what to do.
Either you have Jamb number or part time students, you are both in the same problem.

Read: Jamb Regularization Deadline/Closing Date
When Is Jamb Regularization Deadline?
No date will be announced for closing. You just have to act fast and almost immediately. Jamb may not announce the deadline for regularization. Your direct entry form closing date is what you have to consider. But try to follow the procedures above. So that you can complete your direct entry form almost immediately.
Note: The same procedures applies to prospective NYSC corpers who want to go for NYSC but are facing Jamb regularization problems.
I hope this helps?

Please is it possible to obtain University's DIRECT ENTRY POST UTME without obtained DE from jamb?

If you weren't given admission through JAMB but was admitted by the school you chooses during JAMB Registration. Go through this.. https://talkgeria.com/jamb-regularization-process/

Stumbling upon this post makes me wonder. I transferred from a school in Ghana to a Federal university here in Nigeria in 2016. Which we all know Jamb is not required to get admission in Ghana. I used direct entry to get an admission into the Federal University. I was given a slip when I was undergoing my registrations with the school. There was a Jamb number on the Slip given to me but I've never taken jamb before. This is my final year and I'm graduating soon. So I want to know if this Jamb Regularization applies also since I don't have a Jamb result. Do I follow the same procedures cuz I have no jamb Exam Year to fill in the form.
Thanks.
