The Essential Pre-Registration Checklist
Before you board a Keke or minibus to visit any of the approved CBT centres, make sure you have completely sorted out the following requirements:
- Get Your NIN: Your National Identification Number (NIN) is the foundation of your JAMB registration. You cannot begin without it.
- Generate Your JAMB Profile Code: Using your personal, active phone number, send the word NIN followed by a space, and then your 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019 (e.g., NIN 12345678901). You will receive a 10-digit profile code via SMS. Keep this code safe!
- Purchase Your e-PIN: Take your 10-digit profile code to any commercial bank, mobile money agent (like POS operators), or use online platforms like Remita to purchase your UTME or DE e-PIN.
- Create a Dedicated Email Address: You must have a functional email address (preferably Gmail) to receive your exam slips, results, and admission updates.
