The post provides answers to 11 common questions that JAMB UTME/DE candidates may have, covering topics such as profile creation, email linking, corrections to registration details, recommended texts, and more, offering clarity and guidance for the JAMB admission process.
Most of your concerns have been addressed in my post, "JAMB UTME/DE: Answers to the Questions Bothering Admission Seekers". Yet, some questions keep coming up. Hence, I see reasons to break things down a little further. Below is a quick look at what a UTME or DE applicant may want answers to.
It's through this profile, candidates will be able to perform a series of activities that will follow the release of UTME results. Through the profile, you will be able to check JAMB result, do the JAMB change of data, follow admission stages, accept admission through CAPS, print original JAMB result and admission letters, etc.
1. What is the JAMB Profile Code?
This is the code you will generate by sending NIN followed by your 11-digit NIN as an SMS to 55019. This will be done through a candidate’s PERSONAL phone number. After sending the SMS to 55019, like this NIN 97162190123, you will receive a 10-digit number. This is your profile code. For example, a profile code looks like this - 19600001112. What is the JAMB Profile?
Each candidate will have access to his or her JAMB profile after completing biometric registration at a CBT centre. This profile can be logged in here. You must remember your email and password before you can log in.It's through this profile, candidates will be able to perform a series of activities that will follow the release of UTME results. Through the profile, you will be able to check JAMB result, do the JAMB change of data, follow admission stages, accept admission through CAPS, print original JAMB result and admission letters, etc.

6. How Can I Speak to JAMB Officials or Supports?
JAMB has made all her branch offices across the nation open for candidates to seek support. Other available channels are well discussed in my post, “JAMB Supports: How to Contact JAMB for Helps If You Have Issues”.Another medium is to book an appointment with the nearest JAMB office. This though is only open to those who had completed their JAMB registration - because you will need the attached phone number to book the appointment.
You can as well send JAMB direct messages through a dedicated ticket-based platform. Experience has shown that this is more effective.

9. Will I be Given the “THE LIFE CHANGER” at a CBT Centre, Bank, NIPOST?
All other selling points or centers are not to provide you with the book after selling you the form. Only CBT centers where you register your UTME/DE will give you the literature book.It doesn't matter whether you buy the form at the CBT center or otherwise, JAMB has given them more than enough books to share with you. In other words, you will collect the literature book where you register not where you buy the form e.g. cafe, NIPOST, Remita, etc.
However, if you buy the form at a CBT center, the same CBT center registers you, you will collect the book there as well.
