The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the immediate resumption of the 2021 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) registration exercise after resolving the technical glitches linked to the integration of the National Identification Number (NIN). Registration had earlier been placed on a brief hold on April 8, 2021, to fix e-PIN vending and profile creation issues.
Step-by-Step 2021 JAMB Registration Process Flow
- Get an Active Phone Number: Ensure you have a functional GSM phone number that has never been used by another candidate for JAMB registration.
- Have Your 11-Digit NIN Ready: Your National Identification Number (NIN) from NIMC is compulsory for generating your JAMB Profile Code (by texting
NIN [your 11-digit number]to 55019). - Check JAMB IBASS for Eligibility: Confirm your O'Level and UTME subject combinations on the JAMB Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS) on the official JAMB website.
- Purchase Your 2021 JAMB e-PIN: Once you receive your 10-digit Profile Code, purchase your registration e-PIN from participating banks, online payment gateways, or accredited USSD outlets.
- Visit an Accredited CBT Centre: Proceed in person to any approved JAMB CBT centre with your Profile Code and e-PIN to capture your fingerprints, photograph, and academic details.
