FAQs

1. What is a JAMB Profile Code and why do I need it for 2027 UTME registration?

A JAMB Profile Code is a unique 10-digit number generated by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for a candidate. It is required before you can obtain a JAMB e-PIN and proceed with UTME or Direct Entry registration. Candidates should create their profile code using the official JAMB procedure and ensure that the personal details submitted match their valid identity information.

2. How can I create a JAMB Profile Code for 2027 online?

To create your 2027 JAMB Profile Code, you will generally need to send your National Identification Number (NIN) through the SMS method specified by JAMB. The format and designated number may be announced or confirmed by JAMB for the 2027 registration exercise. After sending the required information, your profile code should be sent to you by SMS if your details are successfully verified. You should keep the code safe because it will be needed during the registration process.

3. How much does it cost to generate a JAMB Profile Code for 2027?

Creating a JAMB Profile Code itself is generally not the same as paying for the JAMB registration e-PIN. Candidates may incur a small SMS/network charge when requesting the code. The official JAMB registration fee and other approved charges are separate and should only be paid through channels recognized by JAMB. For 2027, candidates should confirm the current fees and procedures from JAMB when registration officially opens.

4. What should I do if I do not receive my JAMB Profile Code?

If you do not receive your JAMB Profile Code after making the request, first check that the NIN and other details you submitted are correct and that your phone number is able to receive SMS messages. Avoid repeatedly submitting requests without checking for an existing code. If the problem continues, use JAMB’s official support channels or visit an approved JAMB office or accredited registration centre for assistance. Do not pay unofficial agents who claim they can generate or recover a profile code for you.
