What Can You Do While Waiting?

Although the registration has not started, JAMB has advised prospective candidates to prepare ahead by taking the following steps:

1. Get Your National Identification Number (NIN): The NIN is a mandatory requirement for JAMB registration. If you don’t already have one, visit any National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) office to register and obtain your NIN.
2. Ensure You Have a Valid Phone Number: Use a phone number that has not been previously registered on JAMB’s platform. This will be required to generate your profile code, which is a key step in the registration process.
3. Stay Updated: Follow JAMB’s official communication channels, including their website and social media handles, for the latest announcements.

Why the Delay?

The delay in announcing the registration dates could be due to ongoing preparations to ensure a smooth process for all candidates. JAMB often takes time to finalize technical and administrative arrangements before commencing registration.

Expected Steps for JAMB Registration

Once registration begins, here’s what you can expect:

1. Generate your JAMB Profile Code using your NIN and phone number.
2. Purchase your JAMB e-PIN from accredited banks or online platforms.
3. Complete your registration at an accredited JAMB CBT center.
4. Select your preferred examination center and subjects during registration.
5. Confirm your biodata and ensure all details are accurate before submitting.

Conclusion

While waiting for the 2025 JAMB registration to commence, take proactive steps to ensure you’re fully prepared. Get your NIN ready, ensure you have a valid phone number, and stay informed by following JAMB’s official announcements. Remember, proper preparation is key to a successful registration process.
