2025 UTME: candidates can generate their profile codes now - JAMB

To facilitate smooth registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and eliminate potential bottlenecks, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has notified prospective candidates that they can now generate and save their profile code for use when registration begins.

Candidates are advised to note that the phone number used to send a request for their profile code, via a text message to either of the two quick codes, is automatically tied to their respective names and will be used by the Board in all communications relating to application, examination and admission. The candidates will receive a profile code of ten characters on the same telephone number.

To generate their profile codes, candidates are expected to send: NIN (one space) and then their NIN number (eleven digits number) by text (SMS) to either 55019 or 66019 from their personal GSM number. For example, the SMS should look like this; "NIN 12345678901" (without the quotation marks); send it to 55019 or 66019. Remember, "12345678901" should be your own NIN.
