Furthermore, candidates are now recommended to master the new processes in order to update their JAMB profile. Also, this results from the new technique of generating JAMB profiles and the introduction of the JAMB profile code, which was recently announced by JAMB.
In addition, the creation of a JAMB profile is an important step in the JAMB registration process for 2022. However, to register for JAMB, a candidate or aspirant must first construct a JAMB profile and obtain a JAMB profile code.
Creating a JAMB profile entails nothing more than registering with JAMB on their website and allowing them to collect your information.
Meanwhile, no candidates will register for JAMB this year (2022) without a JAMB profile since all documents must be uploaded through the JAMB Portal using the profile username and password.
What is Jamb Profile Code?
The profile code is a ten-character code that is delivered to your phone when you create a JAMB profile. Also, it is this code that you will use to begin JAMB registration at any approved CBT centre in your area.
However, to create profile code, you will need:
1. National Identification Number (NIN)
2. Phone Number
3. A mobile phone
4. Finally, Recharge at least N100 airtime (to be on the safer side)
How to Create Jamb Profile Code
Before you may register for the JAMB examination, you must have your JAMB profile code, which is a ten digits unique number. Also, this is the number you will provide at the CBT centre when registering.
Below are the three steps to follow:
How to Create JAMB Profile Code with NIN

4. Your ten-digit JAMB profile code will be sent to you.
5. To complete your registration, go to a JAMB CBT centre.
6. Finally, Purchase the JAMB E-pin for 4,700 nairas.
How to get Jamb Profile Code through SMS
There are two ways you can get your Jamb Profile Code through SMS, which are:
Create Profile Using SMS to 66019
1. send your NIN Number to 66019.
2. To create a Jamb profile, text NIN 00123456789 to 66019.
3. change your real NIN number to 00123456789.
Also, If you haven’t received a profile code within 24 hours after sending NIN NINNUMBER to 55019, try the alternate number. In addition, For candidates to create their profiles, Jamb has included the new USSD code 66019. You can create a profile with either 55019 or 66019.
By Using USSD Code
1. Dial *55019*1*00123456789#
2. Then change your NIN number to 00123456789.
Please Note: Between the word NIN and your 11-digit NIN, there should be a space. Also, on the same phone number, you will receive a 10-character Profile-code, which will be utilized to get your JAMB E-PIN for the 2022 UTME Registration.
However, if you receive WRONG PARAMETER as feedback after sending the text, it simply indicates you sent it in the incorrect format (INCORRECT FORMAT). Please try again.
Also, note that you can register for JAMB using your 2021 Profile code if you have received feedback from 55019 that your phone number is already linked to another number. Although, you can use your 2021 phone number and profile code.
However, NO RECORD FOUND just implies that you have not VALIDATED your NIN or that your number is not linked to it.
You don’t have AIRTIME indicates that you have an INSUFFICIENT BALANCE.
How to get Jamb Profile Code through Email

1. Send your Surname, First Name, and Middle Name.
TO: [email protected] NIN Or NIN Tracking ID Mobile Number For Receiving Code.

Things to Note when SMS Sending Failed
While trying to transmit their NIN to 55019 or 66019 and establish their profile code, some candidates have run with this problem. One of the following causes could be the case:
1. Inadequate Airtime
2. Your Sim Has Arrived!
3. Your sim won’t transmit messages if you’re using Airtel or 9mobile (we discovered that many users of these networks had troubles).
4. You’re using a SIM that was previously utilized by someone else to generate their own code.
5. It does not link your NIN to your phone number.
6. NIN will generate incorrect or incomplete data Profile codes.
7. Creating profile codes with the same NIN by using several cell phone numbers
8. Using special packages like postpaid, promo bundles, and Do Not Disturb (DND), which prevents profile delivery code to candidates.
However, to fix this problem, make sure you have enough airtime on your phone to send texts, which should be at least N50. Also, Candidates have also complained about being unable to register with a new SIM card, so if you have a new SIM card, make sure it is registered and confirmed before using it.
Also, if you tried sending the message using an Airtel or Etisalat line, try an MTN or GLO line instead. You should also double-check that your phone’s SMS settings are enabled and that no one else has used the same SIM for the same purpose.
How to Avoid SMS Issues
1. Between NIN and NIN numbers, do not use a comma.
2. After your NIN Number, there should be no space.
3. Your Sim will be debited 50 Naira. Before sending the SMS, make sure you have at least N50 Naira on your phone’s airtime.
4. Only one contender can utilize a single phone number. Don’t give your brother or sister the same phone number. They should get their own phone number and send their own texts.
5. Before sending NIN to 55019, make sure your phone number is linked to NIN.
6. Don’t use your brother, father, or mother’s number. It has to be your current Number.
