Only screen copy of e-PIN and Profile code is accepted at JAMB CBT registration centres
JAMB has also disclosed that candidates are NOT allowed to write out their profile codes and ePIN on paper at the point of registration but are to show their profile codes and ePIN to the CBT operator from their phones as sent to them by JAMB. In other words, these codes and PINs should be obtained from the Board’s USSD (55019 or 66019) and displayed on the mobile phones used to create the profile at the various CBT registration centres.
If candidates fail to do so, they won’t be allowed to register. JAMB stated that this directive is important to prevent issues like identity confusion, alteration of candidates’ information, and unnecessary legal disputes that can arise when candidates provide such details on paper and later claim different information.
Meanwhile, a CBT registration centre in Abuja known as Total Child Computer and CBT Centre(TCCC) has been suspended by JAMB for not following this directive. According to JAMB, the CBT centre has been suspended for registering candidates with ePIN copied manually and presented by candidates on a piece of paper as against the mandatory display of the profile code and vended e-PINs as received on their phone screens.
This act was viewed as a serious misconduct capable of causing mixups of candidates’ biodata and other sensitive information given the fact that all centres have been sufficiently briefed on the huge implications of doing otherwise. The Board warned that an other CBT centres who fail to abide by this rule will be sanctioned accordingly.
