Now you have all the details about the 2022 JAMB application, fees, and closing date. However, there is more information to be aware of for this year's application.
National Identity Number (NIN) is not the only change in requirement details for JAMB registration 2022.
In an effort to make the application process easier and faster for candidates and to make it more difficult or impossible for fraudsters to carry out their criminal activities against unsuspecting applicants, JAMB has made some changes to this year's application process.
The board has also ended the use of email addresses for registration.
The exam board has announced that the use of email would no longer be requested for the processing of registration. The announcement was made by Prof Is-haq Oloyede, who is the Chief Executive of the Joint Admission Matriculation Board.
Professor Oloyede stated that candidates' email addresses would only be requested after they have successfully completed their registrations. Candidates will need the emails to access information for their exams.
The new rule was announced to take effect on April 15, 2021. Candidates will only have to provide their email addresses after the 2022 UTME/DE registration exercise has ended.
The board has also created easier methods for candidates to provide their email addresses and to access their profiles during their exam registrations or after. The methods are — JAMB mobile app and a USSD code.
The app and the USSD code, which is 55019, can be used for checking admission status, acceptance of admission, and more.
Additionally, candidates can use the USSD code to provide their email addresses by typing the word "email" and then followed by their full email address correctly spelt out and sent to 55019. You must leave a space between the word "email" and your fully spelt out email address.

Candidates will need to enter their email addresses twice to ensure validation and to ensure that typing mistakes do not occur.
Candidates can print their exam slips and get result notification using their candidate registration numbers only.
JAMB has confirmed that the new system will help curb the dealings of some fraudulent cyber cafe operators and other criminal elements who steal candidates' email passwords for criminal activities.
This means that entrants can now complete their applications in the comfort of their homes.
The organization also confirmed that the use of cash for any form of transactions at all CBT centers owned by JAMB is no longer allowed. All transactions at these centers would be done cashless.
UTME/DE examination registrations can now be done fully and completely on a mobile device.
Individuals' mobile phones now remain the only major tool to carry out all the JAMB registration 2022 processes.
