Hey dear, Welcome to loadnaija, Today I will share with you on how to generate JAMB profile code for the 2026 UTME registration.
The 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and eliminate potential bottlenecks, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has notified prospective candidates that they can now generate and save their profile code for use when registration begins.
The board has advised candidates who have interest for the 2026 JAM registration to Generate a profile code ahead of time.
The Board also advised the candidates to get their National Identification Number (NIN), a prerequisite for UTME/DE registration.
Candidates are advised to note that the phone number used to send a request for their profile code, via a text message to either of the two quick codes, is automatically tied to their respective names and will be used by the Board in all communications relating to application, examination and admission.
The candidates will receive a profile code of ten characters on the same telephone number.
If your NIN has any errors in your name, date of birth, or other personal details, you are advised to correct them immediately so the changes can take effect before JAMB registration begins.
All personal information used for UTME registration is sourced directly from the NIMC database.
To generate their profile codes, candidates are expected to send: NIN (one space) and then their NIN number (eleven digits number) by text (SMS) to either 55019 or 66019 from their personal GSM number.
For example, the SMS should look like this; “NIN 12345678901” (without the quotation marks); send it to 55019 or 66019. Remember, “12345678901” should be your own NIN.
Once a profile code is generated, it cannot be changed, and biodata is automatically retrieved from NIMC.
JAMB also urged candidates to safeguard their ten fingers during both the registration and examination processes, stressing that successful biometric verification is essential for entry into the exam hall.
