Well, the first thought should be, will it be possible to change the PIN from UTME to DE or DE to UTME? You must be looking for means to swap the form for each other. Is this possible?
The answer is a complex one. For certain cases, it’s possible. For the other, you may need to forgo it and buy the correct PIN.
Let me explain.
You Can't Sell Your UTME/DE PIN to Another Candidate Unless …
It's possible to think that if you don't need the PIN you bought again, you can just sell it to someone who needs it. I mean, you may think you can sell a PIN you bought by mistake to the right candidate and use the money to buy the correct PIN for yourself.This is NOT possible.
JAMB PIN - be it UTME or DE is tied to the individual candidate whose name was tied to the JAMB profile code. Do you remember the JAMB confirmation code you got through 55019/66019? It's your name that was used to get that code. It's the same code used to buy the PIN. Hence, you can't sell your PIN to another candidate.
You Can Register UTME and Upgrade to DE Instead
If you're a DE candidate who mistakenly bought a UTME PIN, you can just continue registering for UTME. And after the registration or the exams, you can go to the nearest JAMB office to upgrade your UTME registration to DE.
This is clearly possible due to the new opportunity JAMB opens to candidates who register for UTME but still have NCE, ND, HND, BSC, IJMB, JUPEB, etc that they can obtain a Direct Entry form with.Â
And since it's prohibited to obtain and register UTME and DE together in the same admission year, this set of candidates is allowed to upgrade UTME to DE.Â
Doing this will, of course, cancel your UTME application and admission processes and give you a chance to pursue the 200-level instead - through DE.Â
Meanwhile, converting students may need to write UTME before they upgrade. JAMB is now asking for UTME results before the upgrade can be done.Â
I’ve recently treated a case of a candidate who vended a DE PIN by error instead of a UTME PIN. The platform used to buy the form was Quickteller.
We contacted Quickteller on this. Their support line is support@interswitchng.com. They got back a few hours later to swap the DE PIN to UTME.
Why was this possible?
The only condition that favored the poor candidate was; he had not taken the PIN to a CBT center for registration before he noticed the mixup. Had he done that, it could be impossible.

However, there is no way to assure you this will be possible for you if you bought the PIN from any other merchant other than Quick Teller.
A candidate bought his JAMB UTME PIN through Remita on the first day of the sales of the JAMB form.
It’s like Remita was having issues within the first few days. Hence, the guy was given a UTME PIN instead of the DE one he paid for.
After contacting Remita for swapping, they agreed to do that. Unfortunately, it didn’t work in the end.
Why?
The guy had already taken the PIN to a CBT center. The attendant has already entered the PIN for him as a DE applicant before they realized the PIN belonged to UTME.
As a result, the PIN has already been activated. Once activated, the PIN couldn’t be swapped.

Can I convert DE PIN to time
ReplyDeleteOr
Since I have already bought DE PIN, with a profile code.. Can I buy another UTME PIN with that profile code again
I bought a UTME pin for one of customer on Remita, they send me the receipt and promise to send the pin through Sms but my customer didint receive the sms, when it took too long, i refund the money to her thinking I will tell remita to refund the money.
ReplyDeleteMy customer went to a cbt centre to purchase the pin but they too purchase the pin through remita and now they too are facing the same issue as i did but they are not refunding the money.
Now is possible for my customer to get two codes from remita on her name.
Can I sell it to someone else if she gets the code?
You can sell the PIN belonging to one profile to another candidate.
DeleteRemita won't refund the money.
If you can send the details of your payment to remita on [email protected], they will send both SMS and email containing the PINS.
However, she can only use one of the PINS.
How can I swap my DE PIN to UTME PIN ? Because I registered for DE but jamb did recognize my previous Reg No.of 2018, so I was advice to now apply for UTME and wrire d exam so that later o will convert it to DE
ReplyDeleteThat will be next year. You don't need changing PIN. By next year, buy UTME, register for that. Then, after the exams, convert to DE.

Sorry about the situation. JAMB has told the final say. There is nothing you can do now other than to wait till next year and do things rightly.
DeleteIf you must leave home this year, you can try this daily part-time opportunity by the Federal University of Oye Ekiti. You won't need DE form to start.

The post says converting UTME to DE, candidate need not write the UTME exam right?
DeleteSo why is jamb saying she missed the exam?
JAMB usually change their system from time to time, as you might have known. They insist they they write UTME, recently, because they want their profile to be up-to-date.
DeletePlease I got DE pin instead of UTME pin.
ReplyDeleteI bought it on remits.
Please what do I do
Don't take it to CBT center yet. Send a message to [email protected]
DeleteTell them abt the mix-up. They should help.

DeleteI bought a DE PIN from [email protected] but when they wanted to enter it in the system it says my profile code does not match with the PIN. Whereas the pin was sent together with the code to me. Pls what do i do. Thanks
ReplyDeleteMaybe you didn't get the profile code by sending NIN to 55019.
DeleteI bought a UTME pin instead of direct entry pin from a bank. Can it be swapped in the bank. I was told at the CBT centre that it is a UTME pin not de pin that I should go back to where I bought for swapping
ReplyDeleteGive it a try.
DeleteI bought UTME pin instead of DE pin, it got activated before I realized... The CBT centre helped make a complaint to jamb but we haven't gotten any response from them yet.
ReplyDeleteSo they're suggesting I continue registering as a UTME candidate and convert to DE after the UTME exam..
My question is, would I need to write the UTME exam before I convert to DE?
And would the conversation be this year?
Yes, you should write UTME. It doesn't matter whether you pass it though. The conversion will be done this year, of course.
DeletePlease i mistakenly bought de pin instead of UTME pin. Please is there anything that can be done
ReplyDeleteWhich platform did you use to buy it?
DeleteCan I buy another utme pin if I already bought direct entry pin, though, I haven't used d direct entry pin to register.
ReplyDeleteYes. But try to use another platform to buy that.
