How to check NIPED status for direct entry aspirants

The Nigeria Post A-Level Data system is a new initiative introduced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to regulate and verify Direct Entry (DE) admission in Nigerian universities.

Under this new system, no Direct Entry candidate will be considered for admission without the verification of their A-Level results. In other words, if your A-Level results are not verified and cleared through NIPED, you will not be offered admission, no matter your score or choice of institution.

Why Did JAMB Introduce NIPED?

The system was introduced as a response to rising cases of fake A-Level results being used to secure admission into Nigerian universities. Investigations revealed that some institutions were admitting students based on forged IJMB, JUPEB, and other A-Level qualifications.

To address this, JAMB created the NIPED platform, which allows A-Level results to be uploaded and verified before admission is processed. This helps ensure transparency, fairness, and credibility in the Direct Entry admission process.

What Direct Entry Aspirants Must Do

As a Direct Entry candidate, you are now required to:

1. Upload your A-Level results (IJMB, JUPEB, NCE, ND, HND, or equivalent) on the JAMB portal.
2. Wait for the results to be verified and cleared through the NIPED system.
3. Only after successful verification will your admission process proceed.

This means if your results are not verified, you cannot be admitted, regardless of your JAMB score or performance in post-screening.
