  4. Mr. Blessing, please my brother has done his Jamb for this year. The jamb centre he registered helped him generate the profile code because the number he used in registering for NIN and last year’s Jamb was stolen. The question is how can he check his result because we’ve gone online and the portal did not bring 2023 option as exam date and he can’t receive his result on his phone as SMS. THANK YOU

      You do not need to link your email address to your JAMB profile to know your JAMB examination centre.

      You can do that after your exams.
