The JAMB profile code is a unique 10-digit number required for registration, checking admission status, and accessing other JAMB services. Losing this code can cause challenges, but there are simple methods to retrieve it via SMS, email, or the JAMB portal. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to help candidates regain access to their profile codes.
Retrieving JAMB Profile Code via SMS
Using SMS is one of the fastest methods to retrieve your JAMB profile code. Follow these steps:
Use the Correct Phone Number: Ensure you use the phone number linked to your JAMB profile with at least ₦50 airtime.
Send an SMS to the JAMB Shortcode: Open your messaging app and send RESEND [Your JAMB registration number] to 55019 or 66019.
Example: If your registration number is 12345678999, send RESEND 12345678999 to 55019 or 66019.
Receive Your Profile Code: JAMB will respond with an SMS containing your profile code.
Important Notes:
