The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has mandated that all 2025 UTME candidates must verify and correct their details with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) before starting registration.
Why Is This Important?
- JAMB relies on NIMC data: Once JAMB receives a candidate’s details from NIMC, it will not alter names, dates of birth, or other personal data.
- Avoid registration issues: Any inconsistency between NIMC and JAMB details may lead to disqualification or difficulties during admission processing.
Steps to Correct NIMC Details Before JAMB Registration
- Check your NIN details: Visit any NIMC enrollment center to verify your personal information.
- Request corrections (if needed): If you notice errors in your name, age, or other personal data, apply for corrections at NIMC before JAMB registration begins.
- Ensure details match: Make sure your NIMC details align with the information you intend to use for JAMB registration.
Key Takeaway
JAMB has made it clear that no modifications will be allowed after NIMC submits candidates’ details. Prospective UTME candidates should take this directive seriously to avoid unnecessary complications during registration and admission processing.
