The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the step-by-step guide for UTME and Direct Entry candidates to generate profile code and how they can purchase e-Pin for new and previously used phone number ._
*_✍🏼note ! Previously Used Numbers for JAMB Registrations can only be re-used by the same Candidate (Not an-other candidates)
_A Previously Used Number is a GSM Telephone Number (SIM) used for Profile Code Creation, e-PIN Vending and Registration in Previous Registration Exercises. This can be used for the 2023 Registration ONLY BY THE SAME CANDIDATE._
The Candidate who is using his/her previous number for the second or third time will use the same profile code to purchase the new e-PIN._
_If the Profile Code has been forgotten, the candidate can send RESEND to *55019* or *66019* and he/she would recover the Old Profile Code._
*_However, the Candidate cannot change names by using CORRECT on this existing number as this Profile is already tied to the existing number (typically done before Registration)_*
_Candidates can register at any JAMB CBT Center with an existing Profile (e-Mail, Telephone Number, Profile code) which cannot be changed._
*_New Numbers will follow the normal pattern of Registration as prescribed and advertised._*
_Candidates will be able to register as normal by sending their National Identification Number (NIN) by text (SMS) to *55019* or *66019* from their personal GSM numbers, e.g. write the word “NIN” then space and add your 11 digit NIN Number and send to 55019 or 66019 in this format ( *NIN 00123456789* )._
_There should be a space between the word “NIN” and your 11 digit NIN (Note that another person must not have used the number to register for UTME/DE in the past). *Do not use postpaid or special bundle SIM cards, they don’t work unless specially loaded with credit*_
*_✍🏼To retrieve a lost Profile Code, send [RESEND] to 55019 or 66019 as a text message from the same mobile number_*
_Candidates can reset lost or forgotten Profile Password on their registered cell phone by sending [password] space [email address] to 55019 or 66019 as a text message from the same mobile number_
