How can I get my JAMB ePIN?
Paga gives you FOUR methods to get your JAMB ePIN. But first, you need to get your profile code.
How to get my JAMB Profile Code?
This is a unique 10-digit number given to each candidate looking to register for the JAMB examination. Each candidate is entitled to only one profile.
To get your profile code, send an SMS with your NIN (e.g., NIN 1234567890) to 55019 to receive it. If you’ve forgotten your code, simply send ‘RESEND’ to 55019 to retrieve it.
You’ll get a Profile Code sent to your phone right away. This SMS costs ₦50, so make sure you have enough airtime. To get your NIN, dial *346#.
You can also verify your profile code on the JAMB website here.
Does my Profile Code expire?
Your JAMB Profile Code is valid for one UTME registration cycle. This means you can use it for registration next year if needed.
However, please note that it can only be used once within a single UTME cycle.
