How To Apply For The Exercise

To apply, you must pay the sum of five thousand and five hundred naira (#5500) only. The extra five hundred naira is for the compulsory read. After making this payment, candidates will now proceed to obtain an ePin that enables them to access the form. This amount can be paid at ePin selling points which includes but is not limited to banks.

 

The first thing a candidate will be expected to do before he can obtain a pin is to open a profile on the Jamb portal. Here is how to do that:

1. Send your name as a text message to 55019. For example, Bola Asubia Lema to 55019.
2. You will receive a profile code
3. Use the profile code to obtain your ePin by presenting it at your point of purchase.

 

Note that only one candidate can use one phone number.

 

If you lose your profile code, simply type RESEND to 55019 from the same phone number.

 

 

Online Payments For Epin/Scratch Card

If you are paying online for your ePin:

1. Go to www.jamb.gov.ng
