The Joint Admissions And Matriculation Board (JAMB) has advised the prospective candidates of 2024 to just send their  NIN to 55019 to receive their profile code (and or E-Pin) via text message. Have you done that?

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

In this article, after reading it, you will know that there is a reason why they are witnessing such unfavorable experiences.

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

It does not mean that you are being removed if you have not get your NIN, even though some candidates have seen their profile code after submitting it.

However, you will receive your JAMB profile code immediately if you can follow the prompts outlined here below.

Why is it delaying to receive your JAMB profile code?

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

In the event that you ask other candidates particularly yours who have received theirs profile code within a brief period in the wake of messaging their names to 55019, they would recommend you utilize the sort of SIM card they utilized. They might let you know 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 no matter what any sort of SIM card you used to message your public ID number to them.

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

Your friend who used a 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 advise you to use Glo.

Below is what you should need to know when texting your NIN to 55019 to receive your JAMB profile code via text message with any network provider in Nigeria for further JAMB registration in the 2024/2025 academic session if you do not receive your profile code in a timely:

1. The non-original airtime balance on the SIM card
2. Non-coverage of network
3. Unregistered SIM card status
4. The failure of a SIM card to receive or send text messages. You may see our guide on how to fix a SIM card that cannot receive and send text messages.

Causes of delaying to receive JAMB profile code

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!

1. Your airtime is not original

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

Since SMS charges for accepting your Support profile code are still N50. That is, in the p that you don’t get profile code in your SIM card higher than N50, then the getting of your profile code will fail.

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

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

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

2. The network is not fully available

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

Some Nigerian network providers have failed to provide wide coverage of the network for their users for some time. When the non-availability of the network happens, you may not receive your profile code via text message at that time.

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

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

3. Your SIM may be deactivated

Candidate may unintentionally buy a sim card and start using it and immediately text his/her name to 55019 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 has ignorantly or unknowingly been in this problem, then kindly go to any nearby SIM card registration center register your SIM card, and recharge it with N100 before proceeding to text your name to 55019 for further jamb registration.

Note: Jamb advises you selflessly to use the SIM card that you usually use to send your NIN to 55019 to receive your profile code very fast and securely.

4. Your SIM is faulty and can’t receive a message

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

However, if you do not have many SIM cards to switch to and fro, then you have to repair the one that does not function very well for receiving and sending text messages.

To repair your sim card to be able to send and or receive text messages, find your message center number and update it. You may see our guide on how to fix a SIM card that cannot receive and send text messages.

Every network has its specific message center number. For example, the message number for Airtel network is a nine-digit number (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 if you are not receiving your JAMBprofile code

Presently, the question that most candidates of JAMB 2024 are asking is how they should receive their profile code very fast, do you know?

Delaying in receiving the JAMB profile code usually becomes something of a challenge due to the regular system upgrade of a database.

Thousands of candidates are trying to send their NIN to 55019 to receive their profile code, thus, network or system clashes, can you imagine?

Jamb is now working hand in hand with the 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 obtained their NIN through
unauthorized or unrecognized sources or have compromised the right standards will have to go to the NIMC office to resolve their challenges.
