There are so many candidates who complain of not receiving their profile code after they have successfully sent their names or required details of themselves to Jamb.

If you are a JAMB candidate who have texted NIN to 55019 but don’t receive your JAMB profile code (E-Pin) timely or haven’t received it yet, then here you will find what might went wrong.

Some candidates send their NIN and received their profile code in a short second. If you are not in a category of such candidates, then that doesn’t imply that you are being disqualified.

However, you will receive your JAMB profile code immidiately if you could be able to follow the prompts outlined here below.

Why JAMB profile code delays to get delivered

If you have sent your NIN to 55019 (JAMB) in order to receive your JAMB profile code via text message but haven’t received it, then below are what you might have wrongly unintentionally done.

Wonderfully, if you ask other candidates especially your who have received theirs successfully within a short period of time after texting their names to 55019, they would suggest you to use the type of SIM card they used. They may in fact tell you that it is the type of SIM card they used that JAMB wants.

Meanwhile, that is a false suggestion!

JAMB will send you your E-Pin or profile code regardless of any type of SIM card you used to text your national identification number to them.

JAMB sends E-Pin to candidates even though the candidates use Glo, Airtel, 9mobile or MTN.

Your friend who used Glo SIM card to text his/her NIN to 55019 and received his/her profile code in a short second shouldn’t need to tell or advice you to use Glo.

Below are what you should need to know when texting your NIN to 55019 for receiving your JAMB profile code via text message with any network provider in Nigeria for further JAMB registration in 2021/2022 academic session if you do not receive your profile code timely:

1. The non-original airtime balance on SIM card
2. Non-coverage of network
3. Unregistered SIM card status
4. Inability of a SIM card to receive and or send text messages

Causes of delaying to receive JAMB profile code and possible prevention

Below are the top reasons why JAMB or 55019 has not sent you your profile code yet and we have also shown the ways you can solve any problem individually. Please read this completely for more understanding!!

The unoriginal airtime in SIM card:

The airtime balance in your SIM card is very important if you do not want the receiving of your JAMB profile code get delayed to receive or entirely not received.

Because SMS charges for receiving your JAMB profile code is still N50. That is, if you do not get original airtime in your SIM card higher than N50, then the receiving of your JAMB profile code would get failed.

Some candidates complain why they haven’t received their profile code after they sent they NIN. The number one reasons may be that they used the bonus balance on their SIM card which was given by their network providers (bonus Airtime) and texted their NIN to 55019.

To receive your JAMB profile code (E-Pin) immediately, buy N100 recharge card and load with a normal recharging code of your network provider in order to get credited of N100.

Send your NIN to 55019 and after the successful sending, you would be debited for N50 sms charge automatically and your profile code would be sent to you immediately.

Non-coverage of network:

Sometimes, to send and receive message in a place where network is not coverage is impossible. Thus, you are advised to switch off to the place where there is a massive availability of network to send and receive your profile code there.

Some Nigerian network providers fail to provide wide coverage of network for their users for some times. When non-availability of network happen, you would may not receive your profile code via text message in that time.

What you do, you asked? Wait patiently and receive your profile code in an immediately  when the network comes settled.

That was being said that network not coverage status prevents the delivery of Jamb profile code and epin.

Unregistered SIM card:

Candidate may unintentionally buy sim card and start using it and immediately text his/her name to 55019 in order to receive his/her jamb profile code sharp! sharp!!

Due to the unregistered sim status, he/she may stay like up to 48 hours without receiving his/her profile code.

If you are a such candidate who have ignorantly or unknowingly in this problem, then kindly go to any nearby SIM card registration center and register your SIM card and recharge it with N100 before proceeding texting your name to 55019 for further jamb registration.

Note: Jamb advices you selflessly to use the SIM card which you usually use to send your NIN to 55019 in order to receive your profile code very fast and secured.

Inability of a SIM card to receive/send text messages

In some cases, a sim card can fail to receive message or even send message. If your sim card is in such condition, you may use other sim card which is in a very good condition.

However, if you do not have many sim card to switch to and fro, then you have to repair the one which does not function very well to receiving and sending text messages.

To repair your sim card to be able to send and or receive text message, find your message center number and update it. For more important and deeper information or conversation about that, click here.

Every network has its specific message center number. For example, the message number for Airtel network is nine digits numbers (000000899), now to update your message center number, simply delete the last digit number, 9 and replace it with 7 or 8.

What to do when you are not receiving your profile code

Presently, the question which most candidates of JAMB 2021 are asking is how they should do to receive their profile code very fast, do you know?

Delaying of JAMB profile code usually becomes something of challenge due to the regular system upgrade of a database. Thousands of candidates are trying to send their NIN to 55019 for receiving their profile code, thus, network or system clashes, can you imagine?

Jamb is now working hand to hand with National Management Commission System (NIMC) and other stiff agencies or companies, for example, Telcos, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), SERVICOM, etc in delivering candidate’s profile code, that is why it seems like some people don’t receive their profile code on time.

NIMC requested all prospective candidates, JAMB-ad hoc and full-time staff who
have not received a response from 55019 to send their Tracking ID or NIN to
[email protected]. However, those who had obtained their NIN through
unauthorized or unrecognized sources or have compromised the right standards will have to go to NIMC office to resolve their challenges.
