In case you are unaware, as long as you intend to write the 2017 JAMB UTME, you have to create a profile on the JAMB Portal. Here are the easy steps of achieving this vital procedure, before the actual registration begins. Please note that this procedure and service is FREE! You don’t need to pay any money to get your JAMB profile.

Please note that if you have already successfully created a profile on the official JAMB portal, you may be required to create another profile because there is usually a unique code that is sent to every new profile created at this time. This code is what you are expected to take to the CBT Centre during registration.

Whether JAMB will make this code available for existing profiles, we don’t know at this time. We may just have to wait until registration begins, to be guided on how existing profiles can get their own code.

If you are to create this profile, it is recommended that you use a system or PC to do so. If you would like to use your mobile device, avoid using Opera Mini

To successfully overcome the first step, you need to have a valid email. If you don’t have a working email, you can create one now at Gmail.

Note: Please avoid using emails like; “ajaonegbera@yahoo.com” or “babyque@ymail.com”. Whatever names you were called at secondary school, should remain at your secondary school. 

Choose an email address that puts you in a good light, because you may end up using this email for the rest of your life; for University Registration, Job Applications, Travel Abroad, Scholarships e.t.c.

The preferable format for your email address should be a combination of your names in such format as; [First Name][.(dot) or _(underscore)][Surname]@gmail.com. A good example will be ade.james@gmail.com. It doesn’t matter how long your name is, it will still look good and serious.

The first step is to validate your email address on the JAMB portal. To do this, click here.

Fill in your email in the first two spaces provided, then select a question and type a secret answer in the last 2 spaces. The secret question and answer will be required if you forget your password to your profile on the JAMB portal, so ensure you always remember your selected question and the corresponding answer you typed.

Then click “Verify Email”. A link will be sent to your email.

Open your email and find an email sent from “noreply@JAMB.gov.ng”. The email should be titled “eMail Address Confirmation”.

Open the email and click the link that says “Click here to continue your Profile Creation”. If you are unable to click on the link, ensure the email is not in your SPAM/JUNK folder. If it is, move it into your inbox to access the link.

Note that there is also a unique code that was sent to you in that email. Please ensure you do not delete that email or you can copy the unique code to somewhere safe. You will be needing this code when you go to register at the CBT Centre.

Once you click the link in step one, the Step 2 page provides you with a form to fill in your personal information.

Fill in all the information as provided by the form. Your surname, first name, middle name, date of birth (day, month & year), your phone number, nationality, state, LGA and Password to your profile.

Please ensure you crosscheck all the above information, because if you don’t, it may cost you to change it in future.

Once you are sure of all the above information, click on “Sign Up”.

That’s all, your profile will be created immediately. You should see a message that says “Your Account Creation Was Successful.”

You can click on “Proceed to Login” to access your new profile.

Also note that registration is yet to begin. Leave your questions and complaints below.

All the best!
