As part of its measures to ensure a seamless 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Registration through the elimination of bottlenecks, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has informed prospective candidates that they can generate their profile code now and save such for use when registration commenced.
This advice was contained in a statement made available to JAMBulletin as part of the buildup to the commencement of the 2024 UTME registration billed to start in the next couple of weeks.
The Board also advised the candidates to get their National Identification Number (NIN) as it is a prerequisite for UTME/DE registration. Candidates are required to use a unique phone(mobile) number SIM for the process of using NIN for the registration as such a number can only be used by one candidate.
WHAT IS JAMB PROFILE CODE
The JAMB profile code is a unique code used by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in Nigeria. It’s a way for candidates to create a personal profile and access various services related to their JAMB exams.
WHY IS JAMB PROFILE CODE NECESSARY
The mandate of the JAMB profile code is to provide a centralized platform for candidates to access and manage their JAMB-related activities. It serves as a unique identifier for each candidate, allowing them to create their personal profile, register for JAMB exams, check their admission status, and access other services provided by JAMB.
JAMB profile code is important because it simplifies the entire process for candidates. Instead of going through long and complex procedures, they can simply use their profile code to access various services. It helps in streamlining the registration process, reducing paperwork, and ensuring that candidates have a smooth and efficient experience with JAMB.
Having a JAMB profile code also ensures the security and privacy of candidates’ information. It helps in keeping track of their records, exam results, and other important details in a centralized system. It’s an essential tool for both candidates and JAMB to effectively manage the entire admission process.

Starting on January 15th, the JAMB registration form will be available, and the website is expected to experience high traffic, leading to various types of poor responses. This year, the JAMB management has wisely initiated the process of obtaining the profile code since December.
Summary to generate their profile codes, candidates are expected to send: NIN (one space) then their NIN number (eleven digits number) by text (SMS) to either 55019 or 66019 from their personal GSM number.
REQUIREMENTS TO GENERATE JAMB PROFILE CODE
● Your own NIN
● Your phone number
● Nothing less than #50 airtime on your MAIN balance – not bonus account.
STEPS TO CREATE YOUR JAMB PROFILE CODE.
If you’re a new JAMB candidate, please use the phone number you used to register your NIN to send a text message. The following Methods and steps can be used to generate your Jamb profile code
Method One
● Open the text message app on your phone.
● Type NIN and space it
● Type your eleven (11) digit NIN number
E.g NIN 0011223344556
● Send the message to either 55019 or 66019
● You will receive your ten (10) digit JAMB profile code.
● Keep this code safe. You’ll need it for your JAMB registeration.
Method Two
You can also get your JAMB profile code by the following code on your phone:
550191*NIN# OR *660191*NIN#
Note: the first method works better. However you can try Method Two if One doesn’t work for you.
Send the above message to either 55019 or 66019. Remember that the NIN has eleven digits.
A profile code of ten characters will be received by the candidates on the same telephone number. Candidates are advised to note that the phone number used to send the text message to either of the two quick codes is automatically tied to their respective names and will be used by the Board in all communications relating to application, examination
and admission.
For existing JAMB candidates, you already have a profile code. Use the same code. If you can’t find it, check your JAMB registration e-pin slip; the code is located there. Alternatively, log in to your JAMB profile, and you will find the code there. Stay prepared for a smooth registration process.
