How to Fill Your JAMB 2025 Registration Form

Filling out the JAMB 2025 registration form correctly is very important to avoid mistakes that could cause problems later. This guide will explain everything in simple terms to help you complete your registration successfully.

Get Your National Identification Number (NIN)

Before you can register for JAMB, you must have a National Identification Number (NIN). If you do not have one, visit the nearest NIMC enrollment center to register. Your NIN is a must-have because JAMB requires it for generating your profile code. It is best to get this done early to avoid last-minute delays.

Create Your JAMB Profile

Your JAMB profile is needed for the registration process. To create one, use a personal phone number that has not been used for JAMB before. Send an SMS in this format: NIN 12345678901 (replace with your actual NIN) to 55019 or 66019. You will receive a 10-character Profile Code on the same phone number. Keep this code safe, as it is required to purchase your JAMB e-PIN. Without a valid profile code, you cannot continue.

Make sure your phone number stays active throughout the registration and examination period because JAMB may use it to send important messages.

Buy the JAMB e-PIN

After getting your Profile Code, the next step is to buy the JAMB e-PIN. You can get it from banks, mobile money operators, or online payment platforms like Remita and Interswitch. Once you pay, the e-PIN will be sent to your registered phone number. You will need this e-PIN to continue your registration at the CBT center.

Go to an Accredited CBT Centre for Registration

You cannot complete JAMB registration on your own. You must visit an official JAMB-approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) center with your Profile Code and e-PIN. Be sure to visit an accredited CBT center to avoid fake registration.

Fill the Registration Form

At the CBT center, you will be asked to provide personal details such as:

• Your full name (ensure it matches your NIN and O’Level result)
• Date of birth
• Gender
• Email address and phone number

Next, you will need to select your preferred institutions in order of preference. This includes universities, polytechnics, or colleges of education. You should also choose your desired course of study based on eligibility.

You will enter details of your O’Level (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB) or A’Level qualifications. If you are still waiting for your results, you can indicate it, but remember to upload them as soon as they are available.

Another crucial step is selecting your UTME subject combination.

• English Language is compulsory for all candidates.
• The other three subjects must be relevant to your chosen course.

During registration, your fingerprints (biometric data) will be captured, and a passport photograph will be taken. This is to ensure that there is no double registration.

Print Your Registration Slip

After completing the registration, you will receive a registration slip from the CBT center. This slip contains important information like your JAMB registration number, exam date, time, and venue (to be assigned later), and your selected UTME subjects. You must keep this slip safe, as it will be required on the day of the examination.

Important Information for Candidates

JAMB 2025 registration is open from January 31, 2025, to March 5, 2025. It is advisable to complete your registration early to avoid rushing at the last minute. Many students delay and face network issues or overcrowding at CBT centers, so try to register as soon as possible.

If you want to take the Mock Exam, you should indicate this during registration. The Mock UTME is scheduled for April 5, 2025. This mock exam is useful because it helps students get used to the CBT format before the actual UTME.

Ensure that you register only at official JAMB CBT centers. Registering at unauthorized centers can result in problems, including disqualification.

Store your Profile Code, e-PIN, and registration slip carefully, as you will need them later to check your result and for admission processing.

Additional Tips to Avoid Issues During Registration

• Carefully check all your details before submitting your form.
• Make multiple copies of your registration slip in case you lose one.
• Stay updated with official JAMB announcements to avoid misinformation.
• Gather all required documents before heading to the CBT center.
• If you experience any problems, ask for help from JAMB-accredited centers or visit the official JAMB website.

What to Do After Registration?

Once your registration is completed, start preparing for your UTME exam. Use the official JAMB syllabus and recommended textbooks to study effectively. Also, take practice tests and past questions to get familiar with the CBT system.

It is also important to stay informed about any updates from JAMB regarding your exam date, venue, and other necessary details. You can check the JAMB portal regularly or follow official news sources.

By following these steps, you will be able to complete your JAMB 2025 registration without stress. Best of luck in your UTME preparation!
