Mandatory NIN Registration for JAMB Non-Regular Programme Candidates (2024\/2025 Update)<\/h1>\n

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a new policy requiring the use of the National Identification Number (NIN) for all candidates seeking admission into non-regular programmes in Nigerian tertiary institutions. This includes those applying for admission into NOUN, Distance Learning, Part-Time, and Sandwich programmes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Who Does This Affect?<\/h2>\n

This advisory applies to all prospective candidates applying to study under the non-regular mode<\/strong> of study in Nigerian universities and other tertiary institutions. Whether you\u2019re considering part-time, distance learning, or NOUN programmes, you must now comply with this new NIN-based registration process.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd12 Why the NIN Requirement?<\/h2>\n

The decision is part of JAMB’s strategy to eliminate fraud and stop candidates from manipulating admission processes through multiple identities or compromised records. All Nigerian applicants for regular or non-regular study<\/strong> must now provide their NIN at the point of registration.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcdd Step-by-Step Process for Non-Regular Admission Candidates<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n Create a JAMB Profile:<\/strong> Candidates must first generate their profile by sending their NIN via SMS to JAMB\u2019s shortcode (55019 or 66019) using their phone number.\n <\/li>\n
  2. \n Proceed to CBT Centre:<\/strong> After the profile is created, candidates must visit a certified JAMB CBT centre to complete their registration.\n <\/li>\n
  3. \n Institution CAPS Upload:<\/strong> The candidate\u2019s details will be uploaded to the CAPS of their institution of choice under non-regular admissions.\n <\/li>\n
  4. \n Admission Proposal:<\/strong> The institution will recommend qualified candidates to JAMB, after which candidates will be able to print their admission letter via the JAMB portal.\n <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \ud83d\udcc2 What About Returning Candidates?<\/h2>\n

    Candidates who had previously applied through non-regular programmes and haven\u2019t yet linked their NIN or phone number to JAMB must now do so. They must create a profile using their NIN to access any JAMB services going forward.<\/p>\n

    \ud83d\udeab Important Restrictions<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • No candidate is allowed to use this process to edit or modify data already submitted to JAMB.<\/li>\n
    • JAMB stresses that this process is only for candidates applying through the non-regular route<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \ud83d\udcc5 When Can I Register?<\/h2>\n

      JAMB assures that the registration portal will remain open all year round to accommodate the flexibility needed by candidates pursuing non-regular studies. You can begin registration as soon as you’re ready by following the steps above.<\/p>\n

      \ud83d\udcb0 Payment to Institutions<\/h2>\n

      Candidates will be required to pay a processing fee<\/strong> to their institution of choice, as determined by each school. JAMB only facilitates the admission process.<\/p>\n

      \u2705 Final Note<\/h2>\n

      All concerned institutions and candidates are advised to follow these guidelines strictly. Compliance with the new NIN requirement is mandatory for all non-regular admission seekers for the 2024\/2025 academic session.<\/p>\n

      Please be guided accordingly.<\/strong><\/p>\n
