How to Create JAMB Profile Code via USSD or SMS: Are you wondering how to create a JAMB profile code for your 2025 JAMB registration? Or why JAMB isn’t sending your profile code? This post will walk you through the steps to create your JAMB profile code easily.
The JAMB profile code is a unique number assigned by JAMB, used for identification during registration. With over a million students applying for JAMB yearly, the profile code ensures each student is uniquely identified, so no two students can share the same code.
To generate your JAMB profile code, you must have your National Identification Number (NIN). The name on your NIN must be correct, as it’s pulled from the details you provided during your NIMC registration. Any mistake in your NIN details will cause issues.
How to Create JAMB Profile Code
Currently, there are two methods to generate your JAMB profile code:
- Via SMS
- Through USSD
Both methods give the same result, and you will be charged N50 for either process.
1. How to Get JAMB Profile Code Using SMS
Getting your JAMB profile code via SMS is simple. Follow these steps to generate your code for both UTME and Direct Entry (DE) registration.
Steps to Create JAMB Profile Code (SMS Method)
For UTME candidates, send your National Identification Number (NIN) by text to 55019. For Direct Entry (DE) candidates, send your NIN to 66019. Make sure there is a space between the word “NIN” and your actual number.
Example:
For UTME: If your NIN is 00123456789, type “NIN 00123456789” and send it to 55019.
For Direct Entry: If your NIN is 00123456789, type “NIN 00123456789” and send it to 66019.
A 10-character profile code will be sent to the phone number you used within minutes.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Open your text message app.
- Type “NIN” followed by a space and your NIN number (e.g., NIN 00123456789).
- For UTME, send it to 55019. For DE, send it to 66019.
- Wait a few minutes to receive your 10-character profile code via SMS.
Make sure you type everything correctly, including the space between “NIN” and your NIN number, to avoid errors.
2. How to Get JAMB Profile Code Through USSD
Aside from using SMS, you can also generate your JAMB profile code via USSD. Here’s how:
- Dial *55019*1*Your NIN# on your mobile phone.
- Make sure to replace “Your NIN” with your actual National Identification Number.
- Within 10 minutes, you’ll receive an SMS containing your JAMB profile code, which you can use for your UTME registration.
Important Note:
- A single phone number can only be used by one candidate. The number used will automatically register the candidate’s name and be used for all further communications with JAMB. You can also retrieve your profile code using this phone number.
How to Retrieve JAMB Profile Code
If you lose or forget your JAMB profile code, you can easily retrieve it. Just send an SMS with the text [RESEND] to 55019 or 66019 from the same phone number you used for registration. Within minutes, your 10-character profile code will be sent to your phone, and you will be charged N50 for the process.
