Why Is JAMB Not Sending My Profile Code?

If you find yourself having troubles receiving your JAMB profile code even after sending your NIN to 55019, then it is likely as a result of one of the following;

1. Not Having Sufficient Credit On your Sim

insufficient credits
Insufficient credit, load and try again later

A lot of students think that the requesting for your JAMB profile code is free, if you are one of those students sharing this same opinion, then I guess we just discovered the reason why you have been having issues receiving your JAMB Profile Code 2024/2025.

I guess we played a role in this believe you have, probably because we failed to add the extra NGN50 you will need to request for your profile code when we covered cost for JAMB 2024 Registration.

Now, I make a U-turn, the total money you will need for your JAMB registration is NGN6750😁, the extra 50 Naira is to request for your JAMB profile code.

Solution To Not Having Sufficient Credit

To resolve this, make sure that before you attempt to send your NIN to 55019 or 66019, you have at least NGN50 in your SIM balance

If you already have above 50 Naira in your SIM and you still encounter problem receiving your Profile code from JAMB then it is obviously not because you don’t have enough credits…

2. Using special Package such as Post-paid, promo bundles e.t.c

Having bonus or other special packages do not replace having enough credit (at least N50) in your SIM card, this was made clear by JAMB on its official JAMB registration guide for 2024

The statement was; Do not use Post paid or special bundle package. They do not work unless specially loaded with credits.

Solution to Using special Package

Forget about your Bonus and special package for now, you can use them for calls later, recharge your line with preferably N100 card and resend your NIN to 55019 or 66019, this should get the Job done (that is of course, If this is the cause)

3. You Activated DND (Do Not Disturb) On Your SIM

You and I both know how annoying these Network services can be, because of these irrelevant messages sent by these Network providers (MTN, GLO, 9mobile, Airtel) we no longer take text messaging serious.

Any new text message we receive, there is a 60% chance that it is pure disturbance from these network providers, to get rid of this, they came up with the “activation of DND” option

By activating DND all these irrelevant messages stops, and you stop receiving any form of messages that is tagged as potential Spam…

…the problem with this is, after activating DND, some legit messages may also be tagged SPAM, therefore making you loose out on important information.

This may be the reason you are yet to receive your JAMB profile code for 2023/2024 Registration

AIRTEL: Text ALLOW to 2442 on your AIRTEL number that has stopped receiving Bulk SMS.

9mobile: Text “HELP” or “STOP” to the short code 2242

4. Using a SIM Already Used By Another Student

If the SIM you use to request for Profile code from JAMB has been used by someone in the Past, other than you, then you will also encounter issues.

It is imperative that the number you use have not been used by a student before, because if it has, It means that number has been associated with that student already,

So any other person aside the first person who used the SIM to request for JAMB Profile code, will not be recognized.

Solution To Using a SIM Already Used By Another Student

The thing is, it is difficult to tell if the SIM you intend to use for your JAMB registration has been used before or not, so I always recommend that, for the sake of your JAMB registration you register a new SIM

Moreover, registering a new SIM is not costly, except you are sure beyond reasonable doubt that one has used that SIM, else just register a new one to avoid stress.

5. Sending The Wrong NIN to 55019

This is one of the most common cause of JAMB failing to send you your Profile code for registration, some students add numbers that is not part of your NIN

You must make sure that the NIN you are sending is exactly the same with what you have on your NIMC registration slip, to avoid this kind of error this is what you must do…

Solution To Sending The Wrong NIN to 55019

Next, Go to your messaging App on your Android or Apple device and click on the create new message, fill the message box with the following information; NIN YOUR NIN to 55019 or 66019

Make sure it looks exactly like what is in the image below…

There should be a space (Just one Space) between the word “NIN” and your 11digits NIN. and make sure you have sufficient credits on the SIM to avoid making the first mistake on this list.

Another possible cause of this is “Sending the Right NIN to the wrong Number”

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common error you may encounter when you request for your JAMB Profile code, and possible solutions…

No Record Found On NIN, Contact NIMC

Students will only get this error if their registration with NIMC is recent and as such the system is yet to fully recognize their registration.

That is why I always recommended you do your NIN registration months before JAMB registration begins

So if you get the error “candidates’ information was not found when the system was trying to fetch your details” then all you can do is wait, give it 2 to 3 days then retry

Invalid character Found In The Name Supplied

This error is coming from the details NIMC sent to JAMB, the name sent to JAMB is found to contain invalid characters which is not recognized as Names in JAMB system.

To fix this, wait for a few days and retry, this will give NIMC time to resolve the error.

Date of Birth Invalid

This error is common among student that are not of age to sit for JAMB, please note that, the minimum Age JAMB accepts is 16 years, registering for JAMB when you are less than this age is not possible.

This happens when you mistakenly send alphabets or special characters like ;, :, “, e.t.c you NIN are only numbers, adding alphabets or other special character will make you face error.
