JAMB Profile Code Generation for 2026 UTME Registration
JAMB has announced that candidates can generate their profile codes ahead of the 2026 UTME/DE registration. The profile code is required before you can purchase the e-PIN and complete registration.
How to generate your profile code
- Confirm your NIN details are correct at NIMC.
- From your personal GSM number, send NIN 12345678901 (replace with your 11-digit NIN) to 55019 or 66019.
- You will receive a 10-character profile code via SMS on the same line.
Important notes
- The phone number used for profile code generation is tied to your profile and will receive JAMB updates.
- If your NIN details are wrong, correct them before registration begins.
- Keep your profile code safe. You will need it to buy the e-PIN and complete registration.
Common issues and fixes
- Wrong SMS format: Ensure you send “NIN” plus a space and your 11-digit NIN.
- NIN not verified: Wait and retry later if verification fails.
- Number already registered: Use the phone number originally linked to your profile.
What to do next
When registration opens, buy the JAMB e-PIN from approved channels and complete registration at an accredited CBT centre. Check official updates on the JAMB website and JAMB e-Facility.
