๐จ *FRESH UPDATE! JAMB ACTIVATES NIPED PORTAL FOR 2026 DIRECT ENTRY APPLICANTS ๐จ*
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially activated the NIPED Portal for the 2026 Direct Entry admission exercise.
This portal enables Direct Entry candidates to monitor the verification status of their A'Level qualifications, an important requirement for admission processing.
What is NIPED?
NIPED (Nigeria Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System) is the platform through which JAMB verifies Direct Entry qualifications submitted by applicants. Only verified qualifications can be considered for Direct Entry admission.
How to Check Your Verification Status
1๏ธโฃ Log in to your JAMB e-Facility Portal.
2๏ธโฃ Scroll to the bottom of your dashboard and click on the NIPED icon.
3๏ธโฃ View your verification status.
Understanding Your Status
๐ข Green Status:
Your qualification has been verified and cleared by your institution. Your certificate is ready to be used for the 2026 Direct Entry admission process.
๐ด Red Status:
Your qualification has not yet been verified or cleared by your institution. This means your verification is still pending.
What Should You Do If Your Status Is Red?
If your certificate has not been verified, visit the institution that issued your qualification as soon as possible and follow up on the verification process. Early action will help prevent delays in your admission processing.
Direct Entry Admission Activities Will Begin Soon
With the activation of the NIPED portal, institutions are expected to commence 2026 Direct Entry screening and admission registration in the coming weeks.
Stay informed and monitor your portal regularly.
