Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has revealed that Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination candidates can now personally generate profile codes.
This was revealed by the agency through its Weekly Bulletin issued on Monday in Abuja.
The development, according to JAMB, is a component of steps to ensure a smooth registration process for the 2023 UTME by removing bottlenecks.
The board added that the action was a part of preparing for the exercise, which is scheduled to begin in a few weeks.
It said: “Candidates are advised to get their National Identification Number, as it is a prerequisite for UTME and Direct Entry registrations.
“Candidates are required to use a unique mobile phone number for the process and such number can only be used by one candidate.
“To generate their profile codes, candidates are expected to send: NIN (one space) then their NIN number (11 digits number) by text to either 55019 or 66019 from their personal GSM number.
“A profile code of 10 characters will be received by the candidate on the same telephone number,’’ it explained.
Also, JAMB advised applicants to be aware that the names of the candidates are automatically linked to the phone numbers used to text either of the two quick codes.
