WAIT! Before you register for JAMB 2026, read this. It can save you from serious mistakes.
JAMB has officially released the 2026 UTME Registration Procedure, and trust me, one small error can scatter your whole registration.
Hereโs the summary you need ๐
โ
1. PROFILE CODE GENERATION
Before anything, make sure the details on your NIN and your Oโlevel/Aโlevel records match.
To get your profile code, simply send:
๐ NIN (space) your 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019
Example: NIN 00000011111 to 55019
Once JAMB gives you a profile code, it cannot be changed. Your biodata will come directly from NIMC.
โ
2. E-PIN PURCHASE
Buy your e-PIN ONLY from authorised places:
โ Banks

โ ๏ธ IMPORTANT TIPS
1. Fix any mistakes on your NIN before registering (name, DOB, gender, state of origin).
2. Your phone number & email are unique identifiers, they canโt be changed.
3. If you have biometric issues, go straight to a JAMB office.
4. Ensure the centre uses a dual screen so you can see what they are entering.
