Steps to Register for JAMB 2024/2025 Examination

Basically, there are three stages in the process of registering for JAMB in this article. They include the following:

1. PROFILE REGISTRATION
2. PURCHASE OF JAMB ePIN
3. REGISTRATION PROCESS AT CBT CENTRES

As we continue, I will carefully go through all the stages and explain to you the steps to take in every stage. It is also important to pay good attention to every information shared in this page to avoid making deadly mistakes. If you find this information confusing, don’t hesitate to use the comment section below this post.

STAGE 1: PROFILE REGISTRATION

The first and foremost thing do if you wish to register for JAMB in 2024/2025 is to create a profile. Below are some of the things you will need to create a valid JAMB profile:

Email address: Your email could be a Gmail or Yahoo mail. This email is very important because it is the only way JAMB can contact you or provide with information like, your registration center, registration number, payment receipt etc. Also, If you want to check your result even after the examination, you might also need your valid JAMB email.

Phone number: You also need an “always active” phone number to register for your JAMB. I personally recommend that candidates should use their personal phone number during registration.

Mobile phone: Lastly, you also need a tell phone to start the registration.

Now that you know all the requirements for creating a valid JAMB profile, let’s quickly look at how to create the profile step by step.

Creation of JAMB profile:

To create your JAMB profile, kindly send your Surname, First-Name and Middle-Name (if any) to 55019 by text (SMS).

In doing this, the number of characters should not exceed 38 + 2 spaces between names = 40 characters in all. Below is a clear example of what you should do:

“Edeh Samuel Chukwuemeka” 

NOTE: Surname and first name are mandatory

Immediately, after you step above, you will receive a Profile Code of 10 characters on the same telephone (SIM) number. This telephone number will be used to purchase your JAMB Epin so you are expected to keep it safe.

You can purchase JAMB Epin from any accredited JAMB CBT center near you. Just like I noted at the beginning of this work, you are not supposed to go to any cyber Cafe or computer center to purchase your epin.

HOW TO CORRECT MISTAKES MADE DURING PROFILE CREATION

JAMB knows that some candidates will likely make mistakes during the first stage above, so they provided a tentative procedure to correct errors during JAMB profile creation.

If you made a mistake in your name or order of your name before sending it to 55019, kindly send the [CORRECT Surname First-Name Middle-Name] to 55019 as a text message from the same mobile number.

Also, if you misplaced your JAMB profile code, you can still retrieve it by sending [RESEND] to 55019 as text message from the same mobile number.

Lastly, if you wish to reset your lost or forgotten Profile Password on your registered cell phone don’t hesitate to send: “[password] space [email address]” to 55019 as a text message from the same mobile number.

Hope the above information is clear? If you did not understand any part of this tutorial so far, kindly let me know using the comment section before we continue.

STAGE 2: PURCHASE OF JAMB ePIN

The next stage is the purchasing of your JAMB ePin. Note that an ePin is a set of numbers that is automatically generated by the computer for the purpose of enabling someone have access to something.

JAMB ePin cannot be gotten from any cyber Cafe or computer center. Below are the only places from which you can purchase your JAMB epin:

NIPOST and eleven Participating Banks (ACCESS, FCMB, FIDELITY, FIRSTBANK, JAIZ, Polaris, Stanbic IBTC, STERLING, UNION and UNITY).

USSD (ERCAS) for mobile banking

Nigerian Embassies in Abidjan, Accra, Addis Ababa, Beau, Cotonou, Jeddah, Johannesburg, and London

All you have to do is to go to any of the places above, and request for a JAMB ePin. Note that you will be required to provide your Profile Code of 10 characters, which was obtained in stage 1 above.

After collecting your profile code, they will also collect payment for the pin before vending the ePIN by SMS to you phone.

JAMB has advised centers where ePin is sold to dictate or copy the pin for candidates. It can only be sent automatically to your mobile phone.

How to retrieve lost JAMB epin

If after purchasing your ePin, you misplaced or lost your JAMB ePin, you can still recover it back by sending [UTMEPIN] or [DEPIN] to 55019 for UTME or DE respectively from the unique number.

Before 1 hour after the above step, your ePIN would be retrieved and delivered to your unique number.

STAGE 3: REGISTRATION PROCESS AT CBT CENTRES

The last and most important stage in the process of registering for JAMB examination is the final registration at an accredited JAMB CBT center. In this stage, candidates will be required to present the ePIN at any JAMB accredited CBT Centre for completion of registration.

More so, the name of the candidate as typed by the candidate on his/her phone when registering the profile comes up automatically on the input of the e-PIN by the CBT centre.

Below are the steps to take to complete your registration in a recognized JAMB CBT center:

Step 1: Go to any recognized JAMB CBT center near you with your JAMB epin, email, phone number, and profile code.

Step 2: You will then be required to pay the some of N700 as Service Charge to the CBT Centre.

Step 3: Provide valid details about you as they will be used for the registration process. You will have to disclose your original Date of Birth, Nationality, State of Origin, Local Government, Gender, e-mail address, among others.

Stage 5: Provide you SSCE qualifications with grades and dates if not awaiting result. JAMB currently accepts WAEC, NECO, GCE, NABTEB or any of its equivalent.

For candidates using awaiting results to register for JAMB UTME, the examination body recommends that the awaiting results should be supplied online as soon as they are available on JAMB’s portal.

If you fail to do this, it will be difficult or even impossible for you to see your name in JAMB CAPS as JAMB will not offer admission to candidates that do not supply their certificates.

Step 6: Direct Entry applicants are expected to supply their JAMB registration number for previous institutional certificates. For more details about JAMB DE registration, please check here.

Step 7: Now you have to provide your UTME subject combination and choice of examination town(s) for the examination. Candidates are to note that JAMB Mock examination is optional. Thus, nobody should force you to register for it.

Step 8: At this stage, JAMB will get more significant information about you. You will be required to do picture capturing (no scanning of passport photograph) and Biometric enrolment (ten fingers).

Step 9: You have to review entries and confirm correctness of the information you provide.

Step 10: Print Registration Slip USING BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION

Step 11: Collect the recommended JAMB reading text, CD for the year and your e-slip to show that you have completed your registration for the examination.
