Please what’s wrong ? What should I do now?
Helen,
Why did you register for the JAMB exam after you were offered admission?
You cannot click on the current examination year until after the conduct of the JAMB exam.
Sir please
I wrote jamb last year.
The Same phone number and profile code was used for this year.
The email address I linked isn’t functioning again….he didn’t ask me but went and used it,
Now I can’t access it.
Please sir will it affect my admission?
Is there any problem?
Please what should I do?

That is not a problem.
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 ?
James,
You do not have any problem.
You can make use of the same email address.
Hello sir, I used the same email I used for last year utme for this year’s own to cause it automatically brought it, And I asked the man, he said it doesn’t mean so I don’t really know what to do.
And I don’t know know if I should change the email, the school I choosed last year haven’t started giving admission, so I registered for jamb for back up. If I can the email now, will I still be able to access it in case I’m given admission ?
I’m confused.
James,
You do not have any problem.
You can make use of the same email address.

Rabiu,
How did you delete your email from the JAMB portal?
I don’t know if I am permitted to say anything cuz is as if they still don’t get it.
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 harivanojong2018@gmail.com
harivanojong2018@gmail.com
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.
Thanks 👍👍 Admin ❤️❤️

Hello Fathia,
It might be that your email address is wrong.
Do well to check it very well and try again later.

Then on accessing it I now discovered a fault that is they said I have forgotten my password of which I know very that it’s the password so I couldn’t get access to the email so please can I change it that is to update it and put the new one I have now created.

Hello Shalom,
I recommend you try later. If it’s still the same thing, you can go to the JAMB office.
Good evening Sir. I used the same email I used for jamb last year for this year. 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.
No sir ,this my first time
