As part of its preparations for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Registration, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has advised prospective candidates to generate their profile codes in advance. Candidates can follow these steps:
Generate Jamb Profile Code:
- Send a text (SMS) with the format “NIN 12345678901” (replace “12345678901” with your NIN) to 55019 or 66019 from your personal GSM number.
- You will receive a profile code of ten characters on the same telephone number used for the text message.
Obtain National Identification Number (NIN):
- Ensure you have your NIN ready, as it is a prerequisite for UTME/DE registration.
- Follow the provided guidelines on obtaining your NIN for JAMB 2024 Candidates [link].
Note Important Details:
- The phone number used for generating the profile code is automatically tied to your name and will be used for all communications from JAMB.
UTME Preparation:
- Start your preparation early by downloading the JAMB CBT Mobile app and JAMB CBT software.
- The app provides instant notifications for important updates from JAMB and aids in UTME preparations.
Avoid Henna Application:
- Heed the warning on the use of henna, also called “Laali” / “Lale,” to avoid biometric verification challenges.
- The application of henna on fingers can obstruct the biometric verification process, leading to difficulties in authentication.
Prospective candidates are encouraged to follow these steps and be prepared for the upcoming UTME registration. Stay informed and avoid challenges during the registration process.
