JAMB UTME & WAEC Examination Portal Updates
Authoritative calendar schedules, portal registration deadlines, accreditation alerts, and syllabus requirements for Nigerian tertiary entrance and school certification candidates.
Guidelines for NIN Profile Generation and CBT Registration
JAMB mandates the use of the National Identification Number (NIN) for all prospective candidates. Candidates must send their 11-digit NIN via SMS to 55019 or 66019 using a registered personal phone number. A unique 10-character profile code is returned for registration.
Candidates are strongly cautioned to register solely at certified JAMB Computer Based Test (CBT) centers. Registration at unaccredited cybercafés or via third-party agents violates board protocols and risks disqualification.
