The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it has shelved the conduct of aptitude test for 2024 Direct Entry candidates.

The Board announced this on Monday in a post on its official X handle.

JAMB noted that instead of the aptitude test, other placement criteria will be considered for Direct Entry admissions.

“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,” JAMB said.

Recall that the Board had earlier disclosed that all Direct Entry candidates would be required to take the aptitude test to assess their academic potential or career suitability, as well as their mental or physical capacity.
