how to get jamb profile code 2021/2022 for registration

New method to create JAMB profile code for 2021/2022 UTME registration – That is exactly what I am going to discuss in today’s guide.

Don’t worry, this article is loaded with everything you need to know before JAMB registration. 

In fact, I have compiled the most asked questions and their right answers at the end of this guide.

Trust me, you are going to enjoy it.

The latest update on JAMB registration is that JAMB will use NIN for 2021 UTME registration.

That is, you will need to get your NIN to register for JAMB. 

Although it was cancelled last year because JAMB thought candidates were not informed early enough, so the use was postponed to 2021.

How To Get JAMB Profile Code For 2021/2022 Registration

  • First, you need to obtain your NIN. Click here to see how to get NIN for JAMB registration.
  • Let’s say that your NIN is “12345678910″, send an SMS in the format “NIN 12345678910” to 55019 (without the two “).
  • You will receive a 10 digits profile code on the SIM card you sent it with.

If you do not receive your JAMB profile code (which you need to get your e-PIN) after a few minutes, I have compiled a few tips that might help, check it in the article here.

NOTE:

The phone number used for the text message is automatically tied to the candidate’s 2021 application, Examination and Admission. CANDIDATES SHOULD NOTE AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THE SIM NUMBER USED, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR SUBSEQUENT COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD BY OBTAINING UTME/DE APPLICATION DOCUMENTS, A CANDIDATE HAS ACCEPTED TO RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM JAMB (55019) EVEN WHEN THE “DO NOT DISTURB” IS ACTIVATED.

Quite easy, right? Well, that’s not all.

After obtaining your JAMB profile code, what is next?

Simply put: You will use your unique JAMB profile code to purchase JAMB e-PIN which will be used to complete your JAMB registration at the CBT centre.

Price And How To Get JAMB E-PIN

The breakdown of the price of JAMB registration e-PIN:

  • UTME/DE registration form fee – N3,500
  • Reading text (English Novel) – N500
  • CBT service charge – N700
  • JAMB mock – free (but only the earliest candidates to register will be able to write JAMB mock exam)

Usually, the JAMB e-PIN payment can be made at:

  • JAMB state offices nationwide
  • JAMB accredited centres
  • Approved banks ((ACCESS, ECO, FCMB, FIDELITY, FIRSTBANK, FCMB, HERITAGE, JAIZ, KEYSTONE, Polaris, STERLING, TAJ, UNION, UBA and UNITY))

  • Online Payment Platforms: Capricorn Digital limited, cloud interactive Associates, e-transact, Funds and electronic Transfer, Interswitch(Quickteller)Upperlink, Itex Integrated Services, System Specs (Remita) and Unified Payment Services (UPS), Remita platform, Jumia pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send my full name to 55019 to get profile code?

This was the method used in 2020 to get profile code. According to JAMB registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, this method no longer works following the introduction of National Identification Number (NIN) as part of JAMB registration process.

How can I get JAMB profile code for registration?

I have explained the new method in details in this article. Check it out, it's quite easy and straightforward.

Can I use another name for JAMB registration not in NIN registration?

No, your name will be sent together with your JAMB profile code. This will be the name you used during NIN registration and you cannot change it AFTER requesting for your JAMB profile code.

What if I made a mistake in my name during NIN registration?

In that case, you should change your name on NIN database before you request for your JAMB profile code. To do that, go to any NIN registration centre and tell them you want to correct an error in your bio data.

Is NIN compulsory for JAMB registration?

Yes, the National Identification Number (NIN) has become a compulsory part of JAMB registration process. You cannot get your JAMB profile code or purchase JAMB e-PIN without it.

Can I use the same phone number with 2020?

If you registered for JAMB in 2020, you can still use the same number to get your JAMB profile code. However, two people are not allowed to use the same phone number.

I believe this article is enough to guide you on how to get your 2021 JAMB profile code easily using SMS. Feel free to use the comment section below.

    im trying to apply for a change of course for a friend… Note this friend had already written jamb 2020…… after payment and all they are asking for portal code and it seems she never created one… so the question now is, how do we create a portal code for someone that had already written 2020jamb?

    I mistakenly used last year phone number to register for this year’s jamb, jamb sent me a reply inform of last year profile code and my NIN number I tried using another line but it saying this nin as already been registered with my last year phone number, and I have completed the registration, does that mean my last year profile code as been reactivated or how?. Using last year’s profile code will jamb send last year jamb score?

    • Saheed Soneye says

      Connected to your NIN in what sense? Was it the SIM card you used to register your NIN at the NIMC office? If yes, then you can still use another SIM card to send the message.

      You can’t change it since it has been attached to it. Also, you don’t need to worry about changing it. You will have access to the JAMB e-facility portal once you have completed your registration.

    If I want to write JAMB for the purpose of practice and familiarity, should I write the actual exam or MOCK(I am supposed to write it next year)?

    Reply

    • Saheed Soneye says

      If you want to write JAMB next year, you can just write the mock for next year.

      However, if you want to be familiar with it a year ahead and you have accepted to pay the fee without using it this year, then you can register for JAMB and sit for the mock or the real exam or both.
