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.
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.

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.
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:
- Go to www.jamb.org.ng
- Scroll to the year you wrote your jamb (e.g 2013)
- Click on Check admission Status
- 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.

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.

Help sir. I used my registration number that was showing university admission that I rejected instead of the polytechnic i attended to register for direct entry since February 5th. Though I applied for regularization but just yesterday 21st of April i received a new registration number from jamb via email that my regularization has been approved. Hope there is no problem with this because I was thinking the old registration would just be updated but jamb had finally changed it for me. hope it won’t have effect on my d.e application. or I should go and re-register for d.e using the new reg number.
Kindly go to JAMB cbt center to see if you can change it. Its really necessary. Hope you did not use other diploma?

I did change of institution in year 2013 in a polytechnic, I also sat for jamb that same year, so I.just checked my admission status on jamb portal saying I have been given admission into that same institution, so am wondering if am safe now
You dont have problem once the system recognised your jamb number
How wil i know the cumpolsory fields?
pls how will i know the compulsory fields?
i only want to be clear so i don't make mistakes
still referring to number 13
am to leave the option (b) blank and proceed with the rest of the form and (a)is going to be the year of admission.
thanks for been spontaneous
Not all field ae compulsory
i am a full time student did i need regularisation
and when is it going to close
and wen is D.E registration goingto start
please wen is regularisation goingto end
i do not get it so how do they get to do the regularization without a jamb registration number.
pls be more clear. am a part time student and i need to do a direct entry
Regularisation is purposely meant for part time students who don't have jamb number at all. After completing the process of regularisation, JAMB will allocate a new JAMB number for you to apply fo DE.
But sir without having the jamb registration num & year of exam the process can’t be complete
from number 13
how about those who did part time how do we get a jamb registration number
and a little guidance on what to fill for exam year.
Many of them ae not mandatory. Since part time students don't have JAMB no. its not compulsory.
You don't need to do JAMB regularisation.
Thanks alot bro
hello please my admission was giving directly by jamb. when i check for admission status i always get a message that i was admitted. please do i still need to go for the jamb regularization?
Good day, I've already completed my NYSC. I want to apply for a Direct Entry with my HND for a Degree. Do I need to do a Jamb regularization? Or can I use a Poly-Jamb registration number for the regularization. I was admitted to the polytechnic then with a Poly-Jamb for an ND program after which I progressed to obtain a HND.
You can use your ND JAMB number if it is recorded for admission on JAMB website. Kindly check your admission first on JAMB website with the ND's JAMB number to know.
please help me, can i register for direct entry, i did my jamb regularization few weeks ago but yet to get response, if d.e form start can i register? since have made the payment just left for jamb to do the work.
i need urgent reply
No Samiat. Till you get your JAMB number. Go to your JAMB State Secretariat to ask for it.
With reference to no 13 (Once payment is completed, you will be asked to provide the following:
a. Year of Exam and
b. JAMB Registration Number ) what about those who did part time or pre nd that don't have jamb no. To enter, can they still proceed with filling the form?
Can i stand d chance pls?? Because i saw dinstinction in d requirement…
Chance where?
you should have 3.00 and above GP before thinking of direct entry
Hello Sir, in a scenario in which after checking my admission status on jamb website and I was given Medicine by jamb. But the school gave me a different course due to my post ume result then. Eventually, I didn't graduate with medicine but with biochemistry. I have completed my NYSC but want to get a D.E form to study another course in the university. Will I still need to do Jamb Regularization?
No. Since you have JAMB number, go ahead to apply for DE.
Hello sir. I have the same problem as the guy above, i was also given admission by Jamb for Computer Engineering but the school gave me another course which is Statistics. After my ND program, I paid 5k for Regularization to my school bursary and another Jamb number was given to me.. The new Jamb number doesn't work, my intention is to change my admission status given by Jamb to my real admission given to me by the school. Now am done with my HND program. Dnt even know what to do next and i still have to process for my NYSC. Do i really need Jamb Regularization. Pls kindly help me.
am MOHAMMED ALHASSAN NDABA i did regularization and i hv not be send pin can i collect DE form.
You can't. You need JAMB number to complete your DE application process
So I can't use my old jam reg number to fill my DE form.
Enter your comment…please sir, jamb has given me a new jamb reg number after I have done my jamb regularization but when I checked my admission status they reply no data found for that academic year, please what should I do
It should display your admission status at this point. If not try to use it for the purpose intended, if it does'nt work, you can complain to JAMB.
good-day sir, please can a school that have not been accredited partake in such exercise to acquire jamb number for her student? or must such school be accredited before it can carryout jamb regularization exercise?
Yes. They can. Accreditation is by NUC not JAMB
i wrote jamb but was admitted as a part time student, pls will i be issue another jamb result after the regularization or how does it works?. cuz my jamb result is very okay
They won't issue you another jamb result. Only to regularise your jamb number for you.
Elegant it happened to me too few days ago I was able to do it…Go to your state jamb office and BEG them to upload your form to headquarters. Once it reaches Abuja immediately they will change your details. It is the state that hasn't uploaded yet. It is your old jamb number that you will still use, no new number will be given to you.
Thanks for the updates. Though, part time students who never write JAMB before would be given a new one.
hi,
I paid #10,000 for my jamb regularization since January and til now I haven't gotten my pin…
what should I do?
I hope you've gotten it now?
Blessed morning to you all please i did jamb regularization my form was sent to jamb from ma sch and uptill now i avent receive pin or number from jamb in other for me to print ma admission letter and submit in sch .please without ma admission letter ma name will not be send for mobilization and they are complying the list till 5th of march please i beg you in the name of GOD please kindly treats regularization forms coming from AKWAPOLY pls Thank you for your understanding.

Your school should do the rightful rather, JAMB will not delay you.
another quest. pls, I read a lot of comment in some other sites where some people complained,even though getting the regularized jamb number from the school, when they try checking it still says not valid,some though. pls what could be the cause of this?
u've been most helpful sire, thanks
