What is JAMB Registration Form e-Pin?
JAMB e-pin is required to register for UTME. With JAMB e-pin, all the interested candidates will not waste any time in the registration centers.
According to David Okeme, Chief Commercial Officer of System Specs, the owners of Remita said: “With this development, every candidate seeking admission into higher institutions across the country are guaranteed a pleasurable experience as they can purchase their PINs on Remita at any time of day,”.
And it was officially confirmed that the UTME form is now available on Remita and Quickteller. I’ve confirmed and tested it. It is working and you can get the pin straight ahead.
Understand that without the e-pin, no accredited CBT registration center will accept your request.
How to create JAMB Profile
Before you can pay for your e-pin, you must get a profile code. Without the profile code, you can’t make payment for the e-pin.
*. First, create your profile by sending Surname, First Name and Middle Name (where applicable) by SMS to the JAMB shortcode, 55019.
*. You will receive a confirmation code on the same telephone number which will be used to procure the ePIN. This is the Profile Code. It is a 10-character code.
How to get JAMB Form ePins via Remita
Now that you are registered and you have your 10 digit number, which is the JAMB profile code. You are expected to complete the following guidelines for UTME students:
*. Go to Remita.net/jamb
*. Now select ‘Sales of JAMB/UTME Registration Forms’ in the ‘Name of Service/Purpose” column
*. Then enter your registered phone number (the one on which you received the confirmation code)
*. Enter other details and
*. Select how you want to pay
*. Click ‘Submit’
After payment, your PIN is delivered to your phone number and also displayed on your Remita receipt.
Direct Entry – JAMB ePins
If you are an interested Direct Entry Candidate, then you can successfully get your original JAMB e-pins for Registration by following the below steps:
*. Candidate must register on the JAMB Portal by sending his/her Surname, First Name and other names (if applicable) by text message from the phone number that would be unique to him to 55019.
*. Candidate receives a confirmation code.
*. Candidate visits Remita website
*. Clicks ‘Buy JAMB form’, selects ‘Sale of JAMB/UTME Registration Forms’
*. Select ‘Sales of JAMB/DE Registration Forms’ in the ‘Name of Service/Purpose” column
*. Enter candidate’s confirmation code received after registration via SMS
*. If the Phone number is already registered on JAMB, the Payer name is retrieved from JAMB otherwise, the candidate has to get registered on the JAMB portal as described in step 1 above.
*. Enter other details and select how you want to pay.
*. Once the transaction has been processed, click the “Print Receipt” button to provide the payer with his transaction receipt. The JAMB DE PIN is displayed on the payment receipt.

Matthew, my Airtel number just worked few days ago.
I went to generate e-pin I was not asked whether it was for jamb or DE, and I needed DE pin, so what can I do
It is best to buy the e-pin from your JAMB e-facility account.
No epin received on the unique phone neither is it indicated on the remita receipt.
Don’t worry, give them 1week. You will receive the e-pin.
I didn’t get my epin
