What is JAMB Profile?
A JAMB profile is a personal account created by candidates who intend to register for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
Requirements for JAMB Profile Creation 2025
Before creating your JAMB profile, you must have the following details:
- National Identification Number (NIN)
- Personal GSM Number
This is compulsory, and you must enrol if you haven’t already.
Make sure the phone number you plan to use for registration has not been used by anyone else for UTME/Direct Entry (DE) in the past.
How to Create JAMB Profile for 2025/2026 UTME and Direct Entry Registration
Here is how to create a JAMB profile using your phone in the 2025/2026 academic session:
- To create a JAMB profile and get your code, send a direct sms to JAMB centre number 55019.
- Write “NIN,” followed by a space, and then your 11-digit NIN in the message.
- For example, NIN 1234567890
- Simply replace 1234567890 with your NIN and send the message to 55019.
- You will be charged 50 Naira for the sms.
- After sending it, you will receive your unique profile code, which you will use for the JAMB registration.
Additional Information
- Before creating a JAMB profile code, ensure that the data in your NIN represent you and are correct; if there’s an error, JAMB will automatically generate it, affecting you in the long run.
- You cannot use another person’s NIN to generate a JAMB profile code or to create a JAMB profile.
- You cannot use another person’s phone number to generate a JAMB profile code or to create a JAMB profile.
- If you already created a profile in 2022, 2023, or 2024, you cannot create a new profile; you must use your old JAMB profile code for the 2025 UTME registration.
- If you have forgotten your profile code, send RESEND to 55019 to retrieve it.
- Ensure you link a verified email address to your profile
- To recover lost JAMB profile password via SMS, Open the SMS app on your phone. Type Password followed by a space and then your registered email address and send it to 55019. For example, Password example@gmail.com
- Creating your UTME profile using JAMB USSD code (55019) instead of the www.www.efacility.jamb.gov.ng portal is advisable.
- The cost of creating a JAMB profile is only 50 naira.
- JAMB profile code is 11 digit number
How to Fix the Problem of Not Getting JAMB Profile Code in 2025/2026
After sending your NIN to 55019, you are expected to receive a unique profile code; however, in some cases, you may not receive it due to common problems like;
- Not Having Sufficient Credit on Your SIM Card
- Using a Special Package or Promo Bundle on Your SIM Card
- Activating Do Not Disturb (DND) on Your SIM Card
- Sending the Wrong NIN to 55019
- Sending the Right NIN to the Wrong Number
- Sending your NIN with the wrong format
- Using a SIM Card That Has Already Been Used by Another Candidate
Solutions to JAMB profile creation and JAMB Profile Code Issues 2025
Recharge your SIM card with at least N50 airtime, then resend your National Identification Number (NIN) to 55019.
Ensure you use the same SIM card you used during NIN registration.
Deactivate DND on your SIM card by sending STOP to 2442.
Once deactivated, try resending your NIN to 55019.
Use a different SIM card that has not been used by another candidate.
Make sure this SIM is registered with your NIN and has enough airtime.
Resend your NIN to 55019.
Double-check your NIN and ensure it is correct.
Avoid adding spaces or punctuation between the digits.
Send your NIN to the correct number, 55019.
