Retrieving code from your email inbox/spam
Recently, JAMB made it possible for you to receive your profile code via email while creating your profile. This should be one of the first pieces of information you receive from the board after linking your email address to the JAMB board. If you processed admission last year and linked the email, you already know this.
Check for your profile code in the email:
- Log into the email you provided while creating the profile or used for your JAMB registration
- Locate the message sent to you the day you registered.
- There’s a possibility of some difficulty if you have a lot of emails. Therefore, simply use the search box inside your email dashboard. Type in “JAMB” or “profile code” and hit the enter key to search. It’ll filter and display only messages you received from JAMB or that are related to JAMB. Then, check for the right one.
