The profile code is linked to your National Identification Number (NIN), which is a mandatory requirement for the registration.

• What is the JAMB profile code and why do I need it?

What is the JAMB Profile Code and Why Do I Need It?

The JAMB profile code is a unique identifier that is generated by JAMB for each candidate who wants to register for the UTME or DE. The profile code is what connects your personal information to your JAMB records, ensuring a smooth and personalized examination process. You will need the JAMB profile code for the following purposes:

• To create your JAMB profile on the JAMB portal.
• To purchase the JAMB e-PIN for the registration fee.
• To access the JAMB CBT centre for the registration and biometric verification.
• To check your JAMB results and admission status.
• To access other JAMB services, such as correction of data, regularization, and transfer of admission.

How Can I Get the JAMB Profile Code?

To get the JAMB profile code, you will need to have a valid NIN and a SIM card that is registered in your name. You will also need to have at least N50 airtime on your phone. Follow these steps to get the JAMB profile code:

• Dial *346# on your phone and follow the prompts to retrieve your NIN. You will receive a confirmation message with your NIN.
• Send an SMS with the word “NIN” followed by a space and your 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019. For example, “NIN 12345678901”.
• You will receive a confirmation message with your 10-digit JAMB profile code. You will also receive an email with your JAMB profile details.

Can I Use Another Number to Get the JAMB Profile Code?

The answer to this question depends on whether you are a new or a returning candidate. If you are a new candidate, you can use any number that is registered in your name and has not been used for JAMB before. However, if you are a returning candidate, you cannot use another number to get the JAMB profile code. You will have to use the same number that you used for your previous JAMB registration. This is because your JAMB profile is linked to your phone number and cannot be changed or transferred to another candidate.

If you try to use another number to get the JAMB profile code, you will either get the same code as the previous one or you will get an error message. Therefore, it is advisable to use the same number for the JAMB profile code to avoid any complications.

How Can I Recover My JAMB Profile Code If I Lose It?

If you lose your JAMB profile code, you can easily recover it by sending an SMS with the word “RESEND” to 55019 or 66019. You will receive your JAMB profile code again on your phone. You can also check your email for your JAMB profile details, which include your profile code.

Alternatively, you can visit the JAMB portal and log in with your email and password. You will see your JAMB profile code on your dashboard.

What Are the Benefits of Using the Same Number for the JAMB Profile Code?

Using the same number for the JAMB profile code has some benefits, such as:

• It makes it easier to access your JAMB profile and records.
• It reduces the risk of losing your JAMB profile code or e-PIN.
• It prevents any confusion or mix-up with another candidate’s profile.
• It ensures a consistent and accurate registration and admission process.
