In this guide, we’ll walk you through both the SMS and online methods, with tips to avoid common mistakes, so you can get it done smoothly.
Why You Need a JAMB Profile
Honestly, your JAMB profile is like your ID card for everything JAMB. No profile, no registration, no result slip, no admission process basically, you can’t do anything. With your profile, you can:
- Register for UTME
- Print your JAMB result slip
- Update your personal details if there’s an error
- Check your admission status
- Handle admission regularisation (that’s just JAMB’s way of saying “fix small wahala”)
Think of it as your ticket to everything JAMB. Without it, you’re just standing outside the party. Studentsdash recommends creating your profile early so you’re not rushing at the last minute.
Two Ways to Create Your JAMB Profile
There are two main ways to set up your profile: the quick SMS method and the online method. Pick whichever works for you.
1. The SMS Shortcut
This is for students who want it fast and easy:
- From your personal mobile number, send a text like this:
Surname FirstName MiddleNameto 55019 or 66019.
Example: If your name is Studentsdash App, type exactly that. - You’ll be charged ₦50, so make sure you have airtime on your phone.
That’s it! Quick, simple, and done. Studentsdash loves this method for those who just want to get it out of the way.
2. The Online Tap-and-Type Way
Prefer doing things on a computer? This method is for you:
- Visit the official JAMB e-facility registration page.
- Fill in your personal details carefully. Don’t rush even small mistakes can cause stress later.
- Click the Verify e-Mail button.
- Check your email inbox. JAMB will send instructions for the next steps. Don’t see it? Check your spam or promotions tab.
The online method gives you a full view of your profile, so Studentsdash recommends it if you like keeping track of your information clearly.
Extra Tips from Studentsdash
- Always use your real name, not nicknames. JAMB will reject anything suspicious.
- Make sure the email and phone number you use are active you’ll need them for years.
- Keep your profile login details safe. Don’t share with anyone, no matter what.
- If the site is slow or not working, take a short break. Sometimes the JAMB portal just dey do anyhow.

Follow either the SMS or online method, double-check your details, and you’re ready to go.
