However, someone called me to ask for a solution to an issue as a result of using last year's profile. This is why I thought writing this piece will give you more insights into the dilemma.
Starting from the 2022 admission year, every candidate who had done JAMB or processed admission in the year 2021 or before will be forced to use the same profile used last year. In other words, you can't change your profile.
Let me explain.
JAMB asked you to use your NIN to get the profile code last year. Consequently, the information on your National ID card is exported for your JAMB registration. You must know by now that it's only one NIN that can be issued to every Nigerian - meaning you can't change your NIN.
Because you can't change your NIN, you will still use the same NIN to get this year's profile code, which will be the same as last year's profile code. With this, you're using the same JAMB profile, used last year, for this year's admission too.
How to Get the Last Profile Code to Buy JAMB Form/PIN
The most costless way is to log into your last JAMB profile and on the top of the page, you will see the 10-digit number. That is your profile code.
Copy that and proceed to buy your JAMB form online or at a café, Bank, NIPOST, or CBT center. They will ask for your profile/confirmation code before they can vend your e-PIN or PIN to register with.
I covered other quick ways to retrieve the last profile code here. Make sure you can still log in to that last year's profile with your last email linked to the JAMB portal and password sent to your email.

Last Year Profile Code Will Tie You to Your Last Bio-Data
If you use the last profile (well you don't have any other choice), you’re signing the terms that you want JAMB to use all your personal details used for the last UTME for this year also. In other words, you want your names (and their arrangement) the same as last year. You want the same date of birth, gender, state, and local government of origin.
If you want to make a change to any of the above, kindly read to the next section.

A Case Study: A candidate used last year's profile but wished to change the local government of origin. After the printing of this year's registration slip, she noticed the same old local government origin reappeared.
That’s what using the last profile code means!
Using Last Profile Doesn’t Tie You With Schools and Courses
Don’t mix things up. The fact that the old profile gives you the same personal details doesn’t mean the same institutions and courses.
JAMB will still open your profile for the CBT center to choose a new set of universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and innovation enterprise institutions. You will be allowed, as well, to make new choices of subject combinations.

Meanwhile, if you'd been offered admission (and accepted it) on the last profile, the guide, "I Accepted the Last Admission, Will I Be Admitted Again?" will be of help.

What To Do If You Had Errors on the Last Year's Profile
If you had used last year's profile and later realized you're to make some corrections to your personal data, you will find my guide in, "UTME/DE: Errors with Name, Email, Date of Birth, Gender, Local Government, Subjects Combination" resourceful.
The post leaves nothing out if you must make some changes to your JAMB profile.

I also used the same profile code for two years but I can't find any email regarding the completion of my registration for this year why??
ReplyDeleteThis question is not clear. Break it down.
DeletePls sir hope using the same profile code won't hinder my admission for this year that is still processing
ReplyDeleteIt will not affect your admission in any way. Read the post below for more on that.

Please I need help, I used the same JAMB profile code from last year without asking for a new one with the same number that I used to generate it last year, what am I to do? And there was no email registered with this new registration.
ReplyDeleteNobody used email for this year JAMB yet. You will use the same email used last year if you used the same profile code used last year. And there is nothing wrong with that.
DeleteI didnt register for jamb last year , can i still use my profile for 2020 or do i need to create a new profile
ReplyDeleteYou will keep using the same profile code whenever you want to register JAMB
DeletePlease i used my last year profile and now i can't log in with the new password they sent me through my email it keeps telling me invalid username or password please what can i do about this
ReplyDeleteYou can just click reset password to get another one.
DeletePlease sir my courses and institution are still the same as last year's..I choose another course and institution this year but it's not refleting what can I do?
ReplyDeleteThis year JAMB portal may not be active for you to see until results are fully released. So wait till then.
DeletePlease sir do you have any idea of how long it will take to fully release the results because now after my change of institution which is not yet reflecting on my jamb caps, I have been trying to apply for the post utme of my new choice of institution and they keep telling me they have no record of my reg.no. Please sir what do you advise me to do?
DeleteIt depends on the school. You should see if the school allows you to use another option to apply for the post UTME before JAMB will send the changes to them. For example, KWAPO has given a link to affected candidates to use 2nd choice candidates option to be able to apply for now. UNIOSUN will also do the same if your data has not been sent yet by JAMB
DeleteSir I used a different sim card to register for jamb last year and because my profile code came with the number I used it to register jamb this year and now the sim is missing so I don't have access to my jamb results what will I do
ReplyDeleteIf you've linked your email with JAMB portal, last year, log in to that portal and print your result from there.
DeleteSir I used the same profile code and phone number for 2021 & 2022 now I'm trying to make change of institution for 2021 but the two years have been merged together and the payment went into 2022 and my reg number for 2021 is not working
ReplyDeleteThey will soon upgrade the JAMB portal for a change of institutions for this year. So, wait until they finish the upgrading. Then, return to the CBT center to do your changes.
DeleteSir, I registered this year jamb (with my sim which is linked with my NIN) and automatically it brought out my 2019 jamb profile code and email address with new password sent to my mail.. I have tried logging in with the new password but I'm getting invalid response. But when I tried to log in with my 2019 password it go through...
ReplyDeleteYou will use the 2019 profile for this year too. JAMB will update the profile to reflect this year details sooner
DeletePls sir, I know this comment came in a little late but of recently, I went to do change of institution and they told me that my reg no. does not exist and been told that is because i used the same number I used to register last year's jamb
ReplyDeletePls sir, I'll like to know if this issue is resolvable?
