How To Open Jamb Profile In The Comfort Of Your Own Home



It’s no more news: you need JAMB profile to register for JAMB. But...

What is JAMB profile?

JAMB profile is another name for JAMB account.

Just like you need a Facebook account to Facebook... and whatsapp account to chat on whatsapp; you need a JAMB account (aka JAMB profile) to register for JAMB.

Beyond just registration, you will also need your JAMB profile to...



  • Check your JAMB result 
  • Print your admission status 
  • Check if you’ve been admitted or not

And much more...

If you’re writing WAEC or NECO... or NABTEB this year, you will also need it, when your WAEC (or NECO or NABTEB) comes out, to tell JAMB what you scored.

If another school that you didn’t put during registration gives you admission, you will need your profile to let JAMB know.

In fact, you need JAMB profile to manage anything that concerns your school admission.

It’s that important. 

So keep your log-in details (email and password) safe. 

Make sure your email continues working. 

It may come in handy if you forget your JAMB profile password or need to change it.

The Steps
Below is a step-by-step guide with descriptive pictures on how to create your own JAMB profile with your smart phone or your computer.

To create your profile you need to have a working email. You can open one at Yahomail or gmail. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE:I'm currently working on an article that clearly shows you how to open yours own email with your phone or computer. By today, tomorrow or next, it should be ready. 

So I advice you: Join our Facebook Group or e-mail list

That way, you will get notified immediately I publish it.  
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you've done that...

Go to jamb portal jamb.org.ng. If you're using a computer, the site looks like this...


If you're using a phone, it will look like this...



Click on the "Click to Log in" button. You will see it on the top right corner of the site. It's in green. You will be taken to this page...


Click the "Create Account" button.

You will be taken to the next page. It looks like this...


Fill in the necessary details:

  • In the "e-Mail Address" section type your working email.
  • In the "Confirm e-Mail Address" section, re-type your email. 
  • In the "Select" section, click on it. A drop down menu will appear. 

It will look like this...


These are lists of secret questions for you to choose from and answer. 

JAMB needs it in case you forget or want to change your password. 

They will ask you. So select the one that you can remember.

In the "Secret Question Answer"  section, type the  answer to your chosen question.

In the " Confirm Secret Question Answer" section, re-type the answer to your chosen question.

The page should now be looking like this...


Next, click “Verify e-Mail”.


That will take you to the next page. It will look like this...


Click “ok” button at the bottom right. The page should now look like this...


Close it and go to your email. 

Check your inbox for confirmation email with the sender name, “noreply@JAMB” and the title, “eMail Address Confirmation”.  

If you don’t see it in your inbox, check your spam box.  

In this lesson, I’ve used yahoo mail and here is how it looks in my inbox...


Other email services like Google mail (gmail) looks similar. So it doesn’t matter. They’re all the same thing.

Now open the message. Mine looks like this...



Now click on the anchor text (the blue text with an underline) that says, “Click here to continue your Profile Creation”. 

It will take you to another page that looks like this...


That’s your JAMB profile registration form. 

You will notice that your email box is automatically filled. 

Fill the remaining boxes and click the turquoise coloured “Sign Up” button at the bottom left.

Let’s go into details...

If you look at the page (the picture above) you will notice that the boxes are neatly divided into two columns – left and right.

You can start from any column but let’s start with the left.

These are all the boxes in the left...



In the “Surname” box, fill in your surname.


In the “First Name” section, fill in your official first name; That is, the name you use in all your documents.


In the “Middle Name” box, type fill in any of your other names.



In the “Select Gender...” box, click it and a drop down box will come out. 

It will look like this...



Click on your gender.

In the “Select Date of Birth” section, select your “Day”, “Month” and “Year” of birth.



In the “Confirm Date of Birth” section, re-select your “Day”, “Month” and “Year” of birth.



That does it for the left column. Now let’s go to the right column. Here are all the boxes in it...



In the “Mobile No” box, type in your phone number.



The next box is “Select Nationality...” Here is a picture of it...



You will notice that the two boxes below don't have a name. The name will come out when you select your nationality. 

Now click on the “Select Nationality...” box and a drop down menu  will come out.  


It will look like this...



If you’re a Nigerian, click “Nigerian”. If you’re not, click “Foreigner”.  (In  my example, I clicked “Nigerian”). 

Doing that will make the page reload. Wait for it.

After the reload, the next box (which initially had no name) gets activated. Its name will change to, “Select State of Origin...” 

It will look like this...



Click it and a drop down showing the list of all states in Nigeria will appear. 

It will look like this...


You can hold down (i.e. click and hold) the down arrow key (the black triangle shown in the picture above) to see other states. 

Choose your state. In this example, I chose Plateau Sate.

That activates the next box, “Select Local Govt...” Here is a picture of it...


Open it and select your local government of origin.

The next box. “email address” is already filled automatically. So we go to the next box...


Password”. Here you type in any password of your choice. It must be up to six (6) characters.

Also, your password is a secret. Don’t tell anyone. Anybody that has it can get access to your profile.




That takes us to the next box, “Re-type your Password”. 

Here, you retype the password you chose. 

It’s JAMB’s way of helping you avoid mistakes and correctly type the password you had in mind. 

If the “password” and the “re-type password” box did not match, you will get this kind of notification...



Do the necessary corrections. Then click the “Sign Up” button...



If you’ve filled everything correctly, the site will take you to another page that looks like this...



Congratulations! You now have a JAMB profile. 

Now go back to your email. JAMB will send you another message. It will look like this...

Pix here...

Open it. The message will look like this...


You will need to print this mail. If you use a mobile device and don't have a printer, go to a cyber cafe. 

Just tell them that you want to print something from you mail. 

They will charge you for only printing.

If you can't access a cybercafe, just copy your first name, middle name, last name and email. 

 Those are the information the bank needs.
  
Now, go to a bank and vend your pin (buy your form).


To log-in to your profile...

Go to JAMB site. Jamb.org.ng. Here is the home page...







Click on the "Click to Log in" button. You remembered it? The green button at the top right corner. Here is a picture of it again...






 You will be taken to the log-in page. Here is how it looks...



Type in your email and password in the appropriate boxes. Then Click login. 

If what you typed is correct, the site will take you straight to your profile. 

It will look like this...

Please remember your JAMBite friends on social media. They need this information too. So why not share this on Facebook or re-tweet.

Finally, have you created your own profile? How was the experience like? Are you still yet to open yours. What are your fears and worries? Please share your experience in the comment box.

More smart JAMBites are dropping their emails and phone number and joining my e-mail list. As a result, they DON'T miss my new and helpful articles. You too can drop your email and phone number. I'm also on Facebook and Twitter.
