In this post, I will show you the easy steps on how to update and link your email on the JAMB portal.
It is necessary to link or update your email address on the JAMB portal to be able to access your JAMB CAPS.
The JAMB CAPS is an online platform that enables you to manage your JAMB profile. You can accept your admission, and upload your O’level results plus other functions.
You can use the procedures in this post to link and update your email address to the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) database.
This process is done using a USSD code with the phone number that you used for your JAMB registration process.
It will cost you a ₦50 SMS fee to link your email address to your JAMB portal.
Let me know in the comment box below if you have any questions or need further assistance with your JAMB.

Pls I used last year email for this year jamb so I’m unable to access my jamb caps, pls any solution.
Elisha,
Visit the JAMB CBT centre close to you.
The problem would be rectified
I tried send my email address to 55019 but it’s saying invalid email address.
Is it possible I open another email address and send to 55019?
There is no need to open a new email account.
Wait until JAMB gives the instruction for linking of JAMB profile to email addresses.
Please my sim card got blocked and I was unable to check my results using SMS
Pls I need ur help
You will have to unblock your sim card to check your JAMB result.
I want to check it online not with sms
The JAMB result is not yet available online.
can I link it after my exam ?
or it is limited
Yes, Paul
You can do the linking after your exam.
I tried over and over but its not linked why
At the moment, you can only check your JAMB result via the SMS method.
I’ve spent a lot on this procedure but it’s not working and I’ve been trying it for a long time now. Is there any alternative way please?
