modprobe only looks /lib/modules/<kernelname> for loadable modules.
Try using the full path to the nvidia driver. However, you'll still
need to be sure the default driver isn't loaded at boot time.

Why don't you try creating an xorg.conf and blacklisting the default
graphic driver. This is the accepted way according to nVidia to
enable its driver in Wheezy. Won't hurt to try it for Jessie.
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
==========
# minimal xorg.conf for prop. nvidia driver
Section "Device"
Identifier "EVGA GeForce 8400GS"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
==========
Here's my /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-common-kernel.conf
==========
alias char-major-195* nvidia
options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=44
NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0660
# To enable FastWrites and Sidebus addressing, uncomment these lines
# options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1
# options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
# see #580894
blacklist nouveau
