The Four (4) options are available to a
candidate who wishes to register, they

1. A mobile app will be created for a
candidate to download for his/her
registration and payment after which he/she
goes to the Registration Centre for bio-
metrics capturing only.
[Note This Will Be Available Once Online

2. All systems at the Registration centre will
be enabled for candidates who wish to go to
the centre to register by themselves using
the Registration Centre Systems, pay with
card and then go for biometric capturing.
3. An operator at the Registration Centre
assists the candidate with entering his/her
data for registration, then goes to the bank
to pay and capturing of his/her biometrics.
4. A bank official from a bank selected by
the Registration Centre will be available to
accept payment from candidates with cash.
He does the registration, receive the cash
and the candidate goes for capturing of
biometric.
ITEMS NEEDED BY CANDIDATES FOR
REGISTRATION
Yes, lets now move on to the necessary
items which you are required to obtain
before registration in-order to avoid
mistakes during the process.
Below are the items you are expected to
have before proceeding with the online
registration.
i. Details of O’ Level result where it is
available or O’ Level subjects expected in
the case of those awaiting results.
ii. Personal details of the candidate.
iii. Choice of Institutions, Courses and town
of examination the candidate has opted for.
CORRECTION OF DATA BY CANDIDATES
Now Here are the New Rules and
Regulations of JAMB For 2017 [Do’s and
Don’ts], Please read it carefully as any
defaulter does so at his or her own risk.
Candidates will be emphatically informed to
guard their registration numbers jealously
as registration numbers are personal and
security items to candidates.
Any candidate who compromises his
registration number, does so at his/her own
risk.
Any candidate who wishes to correct his/her
data (e.g. age, date of birth, state of origin,
sex, name
etc.) after completing his registration and
submitting will have to go through the
following process:
i. Payment of administration fee
ii. Give reason for the correction online and
NOT coming to the Board’s Headquarters
iii. Wait for clearance to be given before the
correction can be made by the candidate
online
Now you see how rigorous this process
might be, so its better you don’t fall a victim
[I know many will still be a victim].
REGISTRATION AT THE COMPUTER BASED
TEST CENTRES
JAMB Has brought out rules to all cafe
attendants and center owners to allow
candidates use their system for registration,
which means you can walk in to any JAMB
Approved center and request them to
unlock their PC to enable you carry out your
registration, this does not imply you wont
be charged, but a stipulated fee has been
mapped out for each candidate registration.

registration at a registration centre should
be assisted as follows:

candidates who wish to do their registration
by themselves

candidates who need help.
iii. Assist candidates who wish to complete

CENTRES OF PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
Computer Based Test Centre in public
institutions should be urged to register as
ventures.This will enable them to receive
payment and easily access funds to pay
their workers without
necessarily going through bureaucratic
processes.
While the NET profit can be transferred to
Treasury Single Account (TSA) where
applicable.
PROVISION OF BROCHURE TO CANDIDATES
As we all know each year during JAMB
Registration brochures are being given out
to students, though not all, as most students
might not be issued the brochure due to its
limited supply, well the Board is happy to
let you know that this year will be quite
different as brochure will be downloaded
online immediately after registration has
been enabled, so get your Android device
and Pc ready, continue reading below:
In order to minimize errors during
registration by candidates and also to
ensure that candidates
have ready access to the brochure needed
for registration, the brochure will be
provided in three (3) modes which are:
i. The brochure will be on the JAMB portal.
As soon as a candidate creates his/her
profile on the JAMB portal, there will be a
link that will take him/her straight to the
brochure.
He/she is to confirm reading the brochure
for continuation of registration
ii. As soon as the candidate creates his
profile, an electronic copy of the brochure
will be automatically sent to his/her e-mail
which he/she has provided.
iii. A CD of the brochure and Syllabus will
be given to him/her at the biometric
capturing site.
At the point of capturing the biometrics,
there must be an evidence that the
candidate collected the brochure CD and
recommended book.
ACTIVITIES OF BANKS AT THE
REGISTRATION CENTRE
So after reading the above instructions we
will move over to the roles the Banks have
to play during your registration in-order to
aid faster and more convenient registration
process.
All Registration Centres will be given a list
of accredited banks.
Each Registration Centre will be allowed to
choose the bank it would like to work with.
After choosing the bank, an officer from the
bank will be stationed at the centre to do
the following:
Assist candidates to create their profile and
pay through any of the payment options
they wish to use.
Collect Seven Hundred Naira (N700) per
candidate for either registration and/or
biometric capture directly into the account
of the centre.
The banks will be expected to open avenues
of payment:
Payment of Application Fees
Payment of Seven Hundred Naira (N700) to
the designated account of the Registration
Centre.
At the end, give a receipt to each candidate
for the Seven Hundred Naira (N700)
payment for registration or biometric
capturing at the centre.
ABUSE BY APPROVED CBT CENTRES AND
CYBER CAFÉ OPERATORS
Last years and subsequent years Cyber
agents have been involved in many
irregularities and abuse during registration,
this has prompted the examination board to
map out strict measures that will be meted
out to cyber agents who defaults during the
2017 registration exercise.
1. IRREGULARITIES OBSERVED:
It has been observed by the Board, that in
the past, there were lots of irregularities
during registration of candidates. Some of
which are as
follows:
Off-line registration means that candidates
are given template form to fill and enter
their details
and the Registration centres would later
enter their data for them on-line at a later
time when the candidates were not present.
Registration Centres did off-line registration
for candidates and in the process of
completing them on-line, mismatched their
images and made mistakes in the
candidates’ data.
Registration Centres deliberately went to the
hinterland to register candidates off-line in
order to create Special Centres where they
could further perpetrate Irregularities
during examinations.
Punish uncompromising candidates by
changing their centres and/or institutions
without their knowledge/consent.
Swapped and replaced particulars of
uncompromising candidates with others and
used money paid for other candidates.
MEASURES TAKEN BY THE BOARD
Payment for access code by Registration
Centres has been cancelled. All systems in
the Registration Centre will be enabled for
the registration.
None of these systems therefore can be used
for registration outside the Registration
Centre.
Candidates will now have access to all the
systems at the Computer Based Test (CBT)
Centre for the registration exercise.
This is unlike before where only one system
was used by the Computer Based Test (CBT)
Centre for registration.
Candidates will be properly educated to
understand that their registration numbers
are private and security numbers which
they must not divulge.
Any candidate who discloses his/her
registration number, does so at his/her own
risk.
An alert system has been created for
notifications on changes in the candidates
details at each stage of the registration
process.
ACCOUNTABILITY IN REGISTRATION
CENTRES
Registration Centres are hereby urged to
appoint credible staff to man their Centre to
ensure credibility and accountability.
It has also been observed that some Public
Registration Centres refused registration
because of “low return”. These returns are
not low as claimed but officers in charge do
not remit appropriately.
