Registering for JAMB 2024 can be a straightforward process if you follow the steps carefully. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you out:

1. Create your JAMB Profile:

This is the first and most crucial step. You can create your profile in two ways:
- By SMS: Send your National Identification Number (NIN) to 55019 or 66019 via SMS. You’ll receive a confirmation message with your 10-digit profile code.
- Online: Visit the JAMB portal at https://portal.jamb.gov.ng/ and click on “Sign Up for UTME/DE.” Fill in the required information and submit.

2. Get your e-PIN:

With your profile code, proceed to purchase an e-PIN. You can do this in several ways:
- Online: Pay with your ATM card on the JAMB portal or through designated partner platforms like PIN Debit, Remita, or Interswitch.
- Banks and CBT Centres: Visit any JAMB-accredited bank or CBT centre and pay the required fee (N6,200 for UTME, N6,200 for DE, and N7,700 for UTME with Mock).

3. Visit a JAMB Accredited CBT Centre:

Locate a JAMB-accredited CBT centre near you. You can find a list of accredited centres on the JAMB website.
Go to the centre with your e-PIN, profile code, and any other required documents (O’Level results printout, passport photograph, etc.).
The CBT centre staff will guide you through the registration process, including capturing your biometrics and fingerprints.

4. Complete the Registration:

Carefully review and confirm all your information on the registration form.
Make sure you choose the correct examination type (UTME or DE) and your preferred universities and programmes.
Pay the registration fee (N1,000) and any other applicable charges at the CBT centre.
Submit your form and obtain a confirmation printout.
