Sometimes, navigating the JAMB registration can be a hassle, with common issues like password resets, NIN integration problems, and admission status uncertainties. This guide simplifies the process, offering practical solutions to streamline your experience and address these challenges efficiently.

1. Resolving JAMB password reset issues

Are you grappling with password reset issues on your JAMB portal? And you aren’t receiving an OTP via your registered mail? Follow these steps to troubleshoot:

  1. Send a text with “PASSWORD (space) email address” to 55019 from your registered JAMB phone number. E.g PASSWORD kunleokokmaiko@gmail.com 
  • You should receive a default password for your JAMB account.
  •  That password should successfully reset your account for continued access.

2. Verifying and syncing JAMB with NIN

Encountering a “No record found” message when syncing your JAMB registration with your NIN? That simply means your details can’t be pulled by 55019 because NIMC has not synced your details with JAMB yet. Here’s what you can do:

  • Send your NIN digits alongside your issue to nimc-jamb2024@nimc.gov.ng
  • If the Above does not work, you need to visit NIMC to complain and ensure proper integration of your details or visit a JAMB CBT registration centre to lodge a complaint. 

3. JAMB Profile Code issues

Not receiving your profile code despite sending the required SMS and waiting ample time? Take these steps:

  • Send “RESEND” to 55109 for a reissue of your profile code. In many instances, you should get it this time.

4. Decoding ‘No Admission’ Status for JAMB DE

Waiting for admission but stuck with a “No admission” status? Understand the dynamics:

  •   Confirm that your school has verified your results and sent a response to JAMB.
  • Recognize that admission decisions lie with the specific institution, not JAMB.

Exercise patience and persistence while awaiting updates on your admission status.
