These candidates are expected to obtain Direct Entry form, which they do by registering on-line on the website of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

In recent times, automation of the processing of candidates for admission to the University of Ibadan was introduced. With automation, there is a drastic reduction in manual input, especially in the scoring the results of candidates to determine eligibility for the Post-UTME Tests, as well as on-line submission of credentials, by candidates who had to travel down to Ibadan to submit same results by hand, some years back.
