PeterHave you ever tried to access your JAMB profile and discovered that your registered email address is no longer accessible? It’s not just you. Every year, thousands of Nigerian students are locked out of their JAMB accounts simply because they are unable to access the email address they used to set up their profiles. You’ve come to the right spot if you’re searching for a simple, step-by-step procedure for how to change email on JAMB profile
There are three easy ways to update your email on your JAMB profile without causing undue stress, confusion, or misinformation, regardless of whether you lost access to your previous email, registered the incorrect email, or just need to update information.
However, that is not everything. We are also going to do a really deep dive into JAMB regularization (in really simple language to ensure that you understand what it is, why it is a big deal, and what that may mean for your admission aspirations or even NYSC).
Method 1: Go to a JAMB CBT Center
It is the most effective. Applicants cannot alter email addresses on their own through the portal. You will have to go to a registered CBT center.
Steps:
1. Bring your documents: Bring your JAMB registration number, a good ID, and any document that can prove you own the new email you wish to use, e.g., access to the inbox.
2. State your problem: Tell the attendants that you wish to update your email on your JAMB account.
3. Request the JAMB Email Linking Form.
4. Enter new email: Verify that the email is live. You might have to check it immediately.
5. Service fee: It will cost you small amounts of money to pay, depending on what the CBT centers charge (it is usually ₦500 – ₦1,000).
6. Get an affirmation: Request a printout or other documentation attesting to the alteration. If you are unable to access your previous email and need to update your information immediately, this is the best option.
Method 2: Contact JAMB Help Using the Central JAMB Helpdesk If you can’t make it to a CBT venue, the second-best alternative is to get in touch with JAMB support online. Things to do:
1. Go to the official website of JAMB https://www.jamb.gov.ng/.
2. You are to click on the option titled “Support”. It is located at the header of the page
3. Select the General/Candidate Support Ticket.
4. This is the part where you will have to put down some of your details like Name, Phone number, email address and even your JAMB registration number
5. Provide any of your inquiries in the message box
“I registered my JAMB account in 2023 and my email was john.doe@example.com. Presently, I do not have access to the email anymore. Currently, I have a new email johndoe2023@gmail.com that I want to replace with the old one.”
6. Send the ticket.
7. Wait to get a reply. This normally takes 5-7 working days.
This approach is less fast but can be performed remotely.
Method 3: Request Email Change During Regularization
When you are regularizing JAMB, you can enter a new email (we will describe this in detail later). The regularization form enables you to make changes in your information, including the email address.
This option is good when the student is regularizing his or her admission or is a student who has been admitted under other streams and who has to cross-check his or her information with the information JAMB has.
Additional Tips for Changing Your Email on JAMB Profile
Use Gmail. Gmail is the most compatible with the JAMB systems, and sometimes it does not even accept a domain like Yahoo.
Have your phone number active. During the process, you will be sent OTPs and other messages.
– Do not attempt several times. JAMB can remove your profile in case you make multiple applications using various emails.
What Happens After You Change Your Email?
After you have updated your email:
You will get a confirmation mail.
The new email would allow you to access your JAMB portal.
Now your admission letters and other documents will be connected with the new address.
With this, you should always do your best to keep your new email very secure and active
