Prospective 2021 UTME/DE candidates who have experienced delays in generating their 10-digit JAMB Profile Codes can use either of the two official methods below to pull their details from NIMC and obtain their code.
Two Official Methods to Generate Your JAMB Profile Code
- Option 1: USSD Method (Fastest): Dial
*55019*1*Your-11-Digit-NIN#on your phone (for example:*55019*1*00123456789#) and press send. - Option 2: SMS Method: Open your text message app, type NIN followed by a single space and your 11-digit NIN number (for example:
NIN 00123456789), and send it to 55019. Ensure you have at least ₦50 main airtime balance on the line.
Important Rule on SIM Cards
- You can use any active SIM card to send your NIN to 55019, provided that nobody else has ever used that SIM card to register for JAMB in the past or present.
- Remember that whichever phone number you use to generate your Profile Code becomes permanently tied to your JAMB profile for checking results and receiving CAPS alerts.
Once you get your Profile Code and register, start practicing over 60,000 past questions on the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
