Whats The Difference Between UTME And Direct Entry (DE) Admission?
The Difference between a UTME and DE candidate is that While UTME Aspirants are required to write JAMB before they can apply for admission into they desired university, Direct Entry Candidates don’t write JAMB but only participate in the Aptitude test set by the School for admission into DE Programmes.
Also,Direct Entry application if successful will project the candidate directly to 200 level unlike UTME Admission through JAMB which assures admission into 100 Level, but the Candidate for Direct Entry may have had an NCE or ND certificate from a recognized College of Education or Polytechnic respectively before applying for DE admission into any University in Nigeria. Without saying much, the requirements for DE candidates are as follows.
