JAMB 2020 REGISTRATION

JAMB News

The NIN registration is not a JAMB policy but a directive from the Federal Government as defined in the law establishing National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

In readiness for the UTME 2020 registration, the board has given more information about the procedure for registration as seen in the video clip released by JAMB (View Clip Here). JAMB insists that a candidate must have obtained the National Identity Number (NIN) before registering for UTME/DE and ONLY ONE mobile number can be used by one candidate to register for the exam.

After a candidate has obtained his NIN, assuming it is 1234567890, the candidate will be required to create a profile code through his/her mobile number by sending an SMS in the format “NIN 1234567890” to 55019. After sending the SMS, he/she would receive a confirmation message with his/her Profile Code, and the full name used to register the NIN. This will be used for pre-registration checking.

If there is any error in the bio-data, candidates are to seek correction from any NIMC office.

The Profile Code is what will be required for you to purchase the 2020 UTME/DE registration e-pin.

Please Note:

  • Do not give your password to anybody, not even JAMB
  • Do not register twice. Note that you cannot take both UTME and DE for the same year; however, you can upgrade from UTME to DE at a free cost
  • Any error during registration is to be corrected by JAMB
  • There will be no extension for the registration date (both UTME and DE)

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) wants to bring to the notice of prospective candidates for UTME/DE that all CBT centres are grouped and linked to NIMC registration outlets in such a way that when candidates appear for registration and do not have NIN, they would be taken to the closest NIMC registration outlets for their NIN registration. NIMC has also assured the Board that such candidates would be given priority when they are brought to the registration points.

Official Cost for the JAMB Registration:

  • UTME/DE form is N3,500
  • Novel is N500
  • CBT service charge is N700
  • Ensure you only pay the above prices that have been approved by JAMB.
