In order to streamline the registration process for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE), a new method has been introduced to generate the 10-digit JAMB profile code using mobile phones.
This article will guide you through the step-by-step process of generating your JAMB profile code via USSD or SMS.
Step 1:
Dial the USSD Code To generate your JAMB profile code, simply dial 550191NIN# or 660191NIN# on your mobile phone.
Replace “NIN” with a space followed by your 11-digit National Identification Number (NIN). For example, if your NIN is 00236795678, you would dial 55019100236795678# or 66019100236795678#.
Step 2:
Send the Message After dialing the USSD code, send the message. You will receive a reply that contains your JAMB profile code and your full name.
The profile code is a ten-digit unique number, for instance, 6457281331.
Important Note: Ensure that you have at least N50 Naira airtime on your phone before sending the SMS, as your sim will be debited with this amount.
Step 3:
Purchase JAMB e-PIN Once you have obtained your JAMB 10-digit profile code, proceed to purchase your JAMB e-PIN online using your mobile phone. The e-PIN is required to complete your registration for the UTME or DE.
Benefits of the New USSD Code:
The introduction of the new USSD code by JAMB aims to address the challenges faced by candidates during the registration process. This new method facilitates a more streamlined and efficient registration experience.
Conclusion
Generating your JAMB profile code is now easier than ever with the new USSD code.
By following the simple steps outlined above, you can obtain your 10-digit profile code and proceed with your JAMB registration for the 2023 UTME or DE.
