How to Change JAMB Email Address in 2024

On this post, I shall discuss JAMB email address. I intend to show you how to do JAMB email verification and how to change JAMB email address. Then I will conclude with JAMB email linking and how to reset JAMB email. Please read along.

What is JAMB Email Address?

JAMB Email Address is the email address used by candidates to register for UTME or Direct Entry. For those who did not supply their email address during JAMB registration, JAMB email address is the email address they later link to their JAMB profile.

Note, however, that the JAMB email address described above is different from JAMB email address for complaints.

JAMB Email Address for Complaints

As already pointed out, JAMB email address for complaints is strictly different from JAMB email address. JAMB email address for complaints is a channel created by JAMB to hear the issues and challenges that candidates are facing. The goal of the board to to proffer solutions to the candidates in the shortest possible time.

However, beyond the JAMB email for complaints, JAMB has initiated what is called Support Ticket. Through the support ticket, JAMB is able to handle myriads of issues facing their over one million candidates. Follow this link to see a comprehensive list of issues you can resolve via JAMB Support Ticket. And also learn how to create JAMB Support Ticket.

JAMB Email Verification

JAMB email verification is done when a candidate signs up for an account on JAMB website. The candidates are required to enter their valid email address and phone number in order to verify the email. This valid email address and phone number would later become the candidate’s JAMB email address and JAMB Phone number. So you see how this works out.

The email address the candidate supplies for JAMB email verification is where JAMB will send all vital information to the candidate. The candidates are, therefore, advised to use Gmail instead of Yahoo Mail for faster delivery.

• Visit the JAMB Portal @ https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/ValidateeMail.

JAMB Email Linking

I have done a very detailed and comprehensive post on JAMB email linking. If you are interested, kindly follow this link to learn How to Link Your Email to Your Profile on JAMB Portal. Remember that it is when you have successfully linked your email address to your JAMB profile that JAMB would send you the password to login to your JAMB profile.

How to Change JAMB Email Address

This section of this post is very important. I, therefore, advise candidates to read with keen attention. After JAMB registration, many candidates discover that they have issues with the email address they used to register for JAMB. The email address is incorrect and not functional. As a result, the candidate would be unable to log in to their JAMB CAPS. Such candidates need to out-rightly change their JAMB email address.

Reasons Why you May Need to Change your JAMB Phone Number

1. Entering a wrong email address during registration. This is usually an issue for first timers. Maybe because of over excitement or tension.
2. Loss of mobile phone.
3. Forgotten email login password. Although the email login password may usually be retrieved via a recovery email, cases abound where there is no recovery email. Obviously, this means that the candidate would have no means of receiving vital information from JAMB. So they need to change the email address.

On this post, I’m going to show you how. So just read along.
