Please, my Brother is facing difficulties in generating his profile code for the 2026 Jamb registration, the error message received is "pexpired" and he's applying for the first time. What does it mean? @JAMBHQ
@AdefolawemiO
@JAMBHQ , I have tried generating a profile code for my son a couple of times,I didn't get a reply. Please What next should I do? I sent his NIN to 55019.
@SamReonats
my sister is trying 2 generate a profile code but says her NIN has already been registered with a certain number she used then. Dis number is not hers and it's not available again. How can we change the number 2 her current number so sh can proceed with her registration?
@foc_embrace001
Thank you @JAMBHQ for this. I urge everyone seeing this information to share this post with your networks; providing candidates with this clarity today will prevent admission complications tomorrow. Every year, we do have issues of qualified candidates lose their admission due to "Wrong Subject Combinations” even after scoring high in jamb. Please understand that admission is not solely by scoring high in JAMB, but by meeting all admission requirements including combination(JAMB AND WAEC) Kindly scan the QR code to access the comprehensive 2026 syllabus and institutional brochures. This includes critical data on subject combinations, reading lists, and course prerequisites.
