Prospective candidates for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) have been advised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to confirm the accuracy of their National Identification Number (NIN) records before starting the registration process. JAMB specifically asked candidates to check the spelling and arrangement of their names, dates of birth and other details attached to their NIN records. The Board explained that the personal information displayed on a candidate’s JAMB profile is obtained from the NIN database and is not independently generated by JAMB. The Board also highlighted the need for candidates to ensure that their JAMB registration information corresponds with the records maintained by NIMC, particularly their names and dates of birth. JAMB urged prospective UTME and DE candidates to resolve discrepancies early, noting that checking their information before registration could help prevent avoidable difficulties during the admission process.
