JAMB INTRODUCES NEW USSD Code 66019

JAMB introduces new USSD Code 66019 besides the 55019, which the Board had used exclusively since 2018 for its UTME/Direct Entry registration and examination exercise

This is to facilitate a hitch-free 2022 UTME/DE registration exercise by ensuring that there is no difficulty whatsoever in the creation of profiles by candidates, especially in a situation whereby many of them would be sending their requests via just one USSD code as hitherto the case.

In essence, the 55019 and 66019 are to be used to create their profiles for registration by candidates sitting the 2022/23 UTME/DE. As usual, candidates are required to send their National Identification Number (NIN) via either of these USSD codes for their details to be pulled from the NIMC database before they proceed to any accredited centre for biometric capturing.

It would be recalled that the Board had earlier given indications that, in its efforts to eliminate all bottlenecks associated with the creation of profiles, it was perfecting arrangements aimed at adopting an additional USSD code (66019) besides the 55019, which the Board had used exclusively since 2018 for its UTME/Direct Entry registration and examination exercises.

Registration for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the Direct Entry (DE) will commence on February 12. Check JAMB Form 2022 › Registration Instructions & Guidelines.
