In this article, we are going to be looking at how to link your email address to your JAMB profile on JAMB portal. This is very important and that’s the reason why many candidates are seeking for accurate information on this. The major reason behind this is that it is only when you link your email address to JAMB that you will also get a password that will enable you to login to your JAMB profile.

So let’s do justice to this matter right away.
This article might prove to be lengthy but I encourage you to read till the end so that you will not miss any vital information.

Why you need to Link an Email to your JAMB Profile

JAMB configured the registration portal for the recently concluded UTME exams in such a way that candidates were only able to register with their mobile numbers and National Identificatïon Number (NIN). This was opposed to what was obtainable in previous years where candidates were required to provide a valid email address and a password to effect their registration.

Why did JAMB do this?

JAMB did this for three possible reasons:

1. It was a way of working with or assisting the Federal Government to actualize the policy of giving every Nigerian citizen a national identification number.

2. JAMB decided to use candidates’ NIN for registration to solve the problem created by CBT registration centres who had the habit of quickly creating email accounts for JAMB UTME candidates who did not have an email address during registration. The problem posed by this is that most candidates, who are mainly concerned about getting registered, forget the login details to these emails and in turn lose access to their JAMB profiles.

But with this new method, candidates do not necessarily need an email address at the point of registration. The registration can be concluded, and candidates can go home to create an email account by themselves and link it to their JAMB profile at their own convenience. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

3. The third reason is to make the candidates’ login details private and only accessible to them. The goal is to forestall the activities of unscrupulous individuals who might use the candidates’ login details to defraud them.
Back to the reason why you need to link your email address to your JAMB profile.

You need to link your email address to your JAMB profile for the following reasons:

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. Now there are many reasons why you need to login and have full access to your JAMB profile. Here are some of them.

You need to login to your profile to

1. access your JAMB CAPS.
2. view your O’level results.
3. check your admission status on JAMB CAPS.
4. Accept or Reject your Admission.
5. make payment and do change of course.
6. do change of institution.
7. print out Original JAMB Result.
8. print JAMB Admission letter.

So you see that if you do not link a valid email to your JAMB profile, you will not be able to do any of these very important things pertaining your admission. This is for candidates asking, “what will happen if I don’t link my email to JAMB Portal?”

How to Link an Email to your JAMB Profile via SMS

Follow the simple process below:

1. Open the SMS app on your phone.
2. Type Email, leave a space and type your email address twice. For example: Email adekunleciroma@gmail.com adekunleciroma@gmail.com
3. Send as a text message to 55019.

The simple 3-step process above is all there is to it.
Many candidates still do it and say that JAMB gives them an error message. The reason is because they are not structuring their message in the prescribed format. Before you type and send your own SMS, look carefully at the image below so that you can get it right.

If you have mastered the prescribed format for sending the SMS, the next point you must note is that you must send the message using the same phone number you used to register for JAMB. If you use an alternative phone number, it’s not going to work. For sending the message, a ₦50 SMS charge will be deducted from your credit.

Those who have forgotten the exact phone number they used to do their JAMB online registration can always find it on their JAMB PHOTO CARD.

If the SMS goes through and the email-linking operation is successful, a unique password will be sent to the email address you just linked to JAMB. Go to the inbox folder of the email address, copy the password and use it to login to your JAMB profile. If you do not find the Password in the inbox folder of your email, check the spam folder, it may have been sent there.
