    • Good day,

      Do you mean you are unable to log in the JAMB portal?

      If yes, the best solution would be you to visit any of the JAMB CBT centre close to you.

      There, you will get assistance on how to get your JAMB admission letter.

      You can also let me know if you have further questions. I would be glad to assist.

    Reply
    • I see. It seems like you have two JAMB profiles, one with the Gmail address you used last year and another with the Gmail address you used this year. The Gmail address you used this year is not valid, so you cannot access your profile using that email address.

      To check your O’level result, you need to login to your JAMB profile using the Gmail address you used last year.

  7. Good day Sir
    Please how can one get the login credentials of a jamb profile

    Apparently there was an error in the email used during registration, the email that was supposed to be used was different from what was used, so after discovering that, the email used was now opened newly, so the issue now is that the new email is registered on the jamb profile but it’s not getting response email from jamb as the candidate is not able to login into his jamb profile or reset password as such.

    Thanks

  18. Please, during registration, an email address was already linked with my friend’s nin, i think it was a government email address because it had stuff like (www.gov.com) in it.I guessed probably it was because she did the nin in a local government. The person that did the jamb registration tried to remove and change it but it wasn’t possible. And now she has been trying all she could to change the email address both online and in cyber cafe but it is not working. She sent her email to 55019 as well but they replied her saying her email is invalid. Please what can she do at this point?

  31. Hello sir.
    I have Little problem. I registered for jamb with the same email, cos It automatically brought the email. And when I saw it I asked the man, he said it doesn’t mean anything.
    Now I’m seeing a different thing here.
    And another issue is the school I choosed last year have not started giving admission, so I registered this jamb for back up, If I try to update the email, will I still be able to access the caps if I’m eventually given admission ?

    The post is pretty simple people will just go ahead and type their names and send to jamb Or won’t even mind to create the email.
    Step 1
    Make sure that sim is already link to your NIN

    Step 2
    Make sure is the sim, you used to register for jamb

    Step 3
    Create A Valid email (if you can’t create a valid email you can still ask the admin of the website

    Step 4
    Send and write your Email twice
    Example [email protected]
    [email protected]
    To that code given to you.

    N:B. The password jamb will send to you will be different and the password email will send to you will be different
    if you are in the jamb website Biko ?? use the jamb password.
    If you wish to access your email please use your email password.

    • Hello Tijani,

      The best thing to do is to open the email you linked to JAMB as a new email on your phone.

      Copy the email you linked and open it as a new email on your phone.

When I was registering for jamb this year because I used the same profile code and it was linked to my NIN so when I was registering this year my email was already there. So pls Sir my issue is that I can’t access my Caps. My jamb new registration number is not my portal but the old one. Please Sir what do you suggest I do cause I find it hard seeing my 2022 utme score and the changes I did and my o’ level results uploaded

    • Hello Chidinma,

      There’s no cause for alarm. The details of those who wrote JAMB this year have not yet been uploaded to the portal, that’s why it’s still reflecting your details from last year.

      It will be best if you can remember the email you submitted and create it on your phone to avoid complications.

      But you should try linking your first email to JAMB and see how it works out.
