The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has asked candidates to create their profiles on its portal to avoid any delay during the registration process for its 2023 exam.
Earlier, JAMB fixed January 14 for the commencement of registration and April 29 for the 2023 UTME.
In the latest edition of its weekly bulletin, the board announced that candidates are at liberty to create their profiles, even before the formal commencement of the UTME registration process.
“To do this, every candidate would be required to use a unique phone (mobile) number (SIM) for the process of registration. This, in essence, means that the unique phone number can only be used by one candidate,” it said.
“Candidates are also to note that this number (SIM) remains their unique identification for all their subsequent transactions with the Board.
“To create a profile, candidates will send their national identification number (NIN) by text (SMS) to either 55019 or 66019 from their personal GSM number.
