Please all candidates are to note that the
examination board have provided 4 Option to
aid registration.
The Four (4) options are available to a
candidate who wishes to register, they include:
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.
Sound good right??? Continue reading below:
All candidates who wish to do their
registration at a registration centre should be
assisted as follows:
i. The centre should provide systems for
candidates who wish to do their registration by
themselves

have technical staff who will assist candidates
who need help.
iii. Assist candidates who wish to complete
payments with their cards.
iv. Collect not more than Seven Hundred Naira
(N700) from both Candidates who do only

Agents:
PAYMENT TO COMPUTER BASED TEST
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.
