After successful linking, use the same email address when accessing relevant JAMB services.
3. Can I change the email address I used during JAMB registration?
Yes, candidates may be able to correct or update their email information where JAMB permits the correction. However, the procedure and applicable conditions can vary depending on the candidate’s record and the service being requested.
