Creating your JAMB profile is the very first step you need to take if you want to participate in the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME or Direct Entry (DE) for the 2025/2026 academic session. Your profile acts like your digital identity in the JAMB system; it holds your details, tracks your exam registration, and keeps you updated on your admission status.
Without this profile, you cannot register for the UTME exam or apply through Direct Entry. Also, you won’t be able to access important services like checking your results, admission status, or printing your admission letter.
In this post, you will learn everything you need to know about creating your JAMB profile correctly. Read on for full details.
How to Create Your JAMB Profile
Creating your JAMB profile is simple and can be done online from anywhere as long as you have internet access. Here is how to do it correctly:-
- Open your internet browser and go to the official JAMB portal at www.jamb.gov.ng. Always confirm you are on the real website to avoid fraud.
- On the homepage, locate the “Create Profile” button and click on it. This will open the profile registration form, where you will input your personal information.
- In the registration form, carefully enter all the required information. Make sure the details are accurate and exactly match your official documents.
- Full name (as on birth certificate or WAEC certificate)
- Date of birth
- Email address (use a valid and active email)
- Phone number (active number for receiving messages)
- State and Local Government Area (LGA)
- Gender and nationality
- Choose a secure password to protect your account. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid common passwords like your name or birthdate.
- Double-check every detail before submitting your profile. Errors can cause issues later, so accuracy is important.
- After submitting your profile, check your email inbox and spam folder for a confirmation message from JAMB. This email contains your registration number and login details. Keep this safe.
Tips to Make Creating Your JAMB Profile Easy
- Always use your full real name, don’t shorten or change it.
- Provide an email and phone number that you check often, so you don’t miss important messages.
- Take your time to carefully enter your date of birth and other personal details. Ensure you double-check everything.
- Pick a strong password that’s easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
- Keep your password private, don’t share it with anyone, not even your friends.
- If you realize you made a mistake or get stuck, reach out to JAMB support or visit a nearby JAMB-accredited center for help.
