Regularization Strategy: Ways To Create JAMB Profile For Regularization

If you’re an undergraduate or preparing for NYSC and discovered that your JAMB details are missing or incorrect, don’t panic—you’re not alone.

Thousands of students in Nigeria face this issue every year. The good news is that it can be fixed through JAMB regularization.

In this post, we’ll walk you through a simple and effective strategy to create a JAMB profile for regularization, helping you align your academic records and avoid future delays—especially with NYSC mobilization.

What Is JAMB Regularization?

JAMB regularization is a process that ensures every student’s admission into a tertiary institution is properly documented and approved by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). This is especially important for those:

Admitted without JAMB (e.g. through pre-degree, direct entry, IJMB, diploma)
With admission details that differ from JAMB’s database
Who have no JAMB registration number but already completed or are about to complete their degree

Without regularization, you may not be able to print your JAMB Admission Letter, a key document needed for NYSC registration.

Who Needs To Do JAMB Regularization?

You should consider regularization if you fall into any of these categories:

Admitted through part-time, distance learning, or pre-degree programmes
Gained admission without a valid JAMB number
JAMB details (name, course, institution) differ from what’s on your school records
NYSC portal says “No record found” or “You are not on JAMB matriculation list”
You’re applying for Direct Entry or NYSC mobilization

Guide To Create JAMB Profile For Regularization

Here’s how to create your JAMB profile for regularization:

1. Visit the JAMB e-Facility Portal

Go to https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng. If you don’t already have an account, click on “Create e-Facility Account/Login”.

2. Register for a New JAMB Profile

Fill in your email address, surname, first name, and other personal details
Choose a strong password
Click on Verify Email, then check your inbox for a verification link
Once verified, log in using your new profile

3. Select “Late Application (Regularization)”

After logging in, navigate to the menu and click “Late Application (Regularization)”
Choose the appropriate type of admission (e.g. OND, HND, ND, NCE, etc.)
Fill in your correct institution details, course of study, and year of admission

4. Fill in Your Personal and Academic Details

Input your correct bio-data (name, DOB, LGA, gender, email)
Fill in O’Level result with correct subjects and grades
Carefully enter your institution details and matric number
Upload a clear passport photograph

5. Make Payment

Regularization comes with a fee (usually around ₦10,000) which you’ll pay via Remita
You can pay online using ATM card or generate a Remita RRR and pay at a bank

6. Print the Indemnity Form

After payment and submission, you’ll be prompted to print the indemnity form. This form must be:

Endorsed and signed by your institution (usually your school’s Registrar)
Submitted back to JAMB office by the school (not the candidate)

7. Wait for JAMB to Approve Your Regularization

Once submitted by your school, JAMB will process your regularization. You’ll receive a notification via email or SMS when it’s approved.

After approval, you can:

Print your JAMB Admission Letter
Confirm your name on the JAMB matriculation list
Proceed with NYSC registration

What You Need Before Creating A JAMB Profile

Before you begin the process, make sure you have the following:

Valid email address and phone number
Full name (as it appears on your school documents)
Date of birth and state of origin
Institutional admission letter or evidence of admission
School matric number or registration number
NIN (National Identification Number)
A recent passport photograph
O’Level result(s) (WAEC, NECO, etc.)

What If You Already Have A JAMB Profile?

If you already have a JAMB profile but didn’t gain admission through JAMB, just log in, and go straight to “Late Application” to begin the regularization process.
