Steps for JAMB Registration 2024

To register for JAMB in 2024, follow the steps below:

1. Create Your JAMB Profile

To create your JAMB profile, send your NIN to 55019 or 66019 as a text message. Write ‘NIN’ then space and add your 11-digit NIN number and send to 55019 or 66019.

E.g NIN 00123456789

The cell phone number used for sending NIN to 55019 or 66019 is automatically tied to the candidate’s name supplied by NIMC and will be used in all communications related to his/her 2023 Application/Examination.

After sending a message to 55019 or 66019, you will receive:

• – 10-digit profile code
• – Your registered name with NIMC
• – Total cost for UTME with Mock and without Mock

“Dear Adeogun Baruwa Thomas, Your Profile code: 172081003 and NIN 44617822814. Visit www.jamb.gov.ng, Quick Links, then IBASS for eBrochure. Buy UTME pin with Mock N7,700, without Mock N6,200 and DE pin N6,200.”

NOTE: If you had written JAMB in 2023, 2022 or any year since the use of NIN started, you will use the same profile code to register this year. So, you don’t need to generate a new profile code. New profile code generation is for thos who are registering for the first time, or who had registered in the years when JAMB has not started using NIN. Now let’s move to the next step.

2. Purchase JAMB e-PIN

e-PIN purchase is the second step in getting JAMB form. The JAMB ePIN is a unique pin that allow you to register for the JAMB Form in 2024, without the ePIN, you cannot register. We explain the cost of the ePIN earlier above (Things to know, item 6). So, how do you get the ePIN?

You can contact us to buy your ePIN or visit any accredited bank, CBT Centre or embassy (for candidates in foreign countries) to get the JAMB e-PIN.

To purchase JAMB ePIN, you will need to supply your JAMB profile code, your email address, fullname, phone number and make payment according to the type of PIN you are buying. After the purchase, the ePIN can be printed out in PDF or screenshotted, and JAMB also send it to your registered phone number. We advise that you get your ePIN as soon as possible.

3. Visit CBT Center to Register

This is the third and the last step. Once you get your JAMB ePIN, you can take it to any CBT center to complete your JAMB registration without paying any other fee. The purchase of ePIN for registration is applicable to both UTME and Direct Entry candidates.

For your registration, you need to take along your JAMB Profile Code, JAMB ePIN, your personal information, and O’level result if it is available. We attach a template of the online registration form below, so that you will see the things you will be asked at the registration point.

When your registration is completed, the CBT operator will give you the JAMB registration slip which contains your data, picture, and subject combinations.

How to Retrieve a Lost Profile Code
