JAMB has opened a one-time service for candidates who lost access to their registered SIM or email to update their details at designated CBT centres. Read More: https://punchng.com/jamb-opens-sim-email-update-for-candidates-who-lost-access/
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has updated its policy to allow candidates who have lost access to their registered phone numbers or email addresses to modify their details. This change came into effect on September 21, 2026, and is available at designated JAMB Computer-Based Test centres, including State Offices where applicable. The board instituted this policy to assist candidates facing genuine issues with their registered GSM numbers or email addresses.
Candidates seeking to utilize this service must undergo stringent identity and biometric verification. Each candidate can only access this service once, and it is subject to stringent verification measures. JAMB advises candidates to use only the designated centres and to refrain from engaging unauthorised individuals or channels for this purpose. The announcement aligns with the board's JCARE and JAMB Updates initiatives.
