WARNING: You do not fill your JAMB registration form in form of paper/hardcopy. JAMB form is filled online on JAMB portal at an accredited centre only!
Even if you fill your details on paper before registration, make sure you are present at the accredited centre in person and check that your details are properly filled.

*THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE FILLING YOUR JAMB FORM*
_1.WRITE DOWN YOUR CHOICES OF INSTITUTION/COURSE_
You want to make sure that you already know the schools and courses you want to fill on JAMB portal before you go to the accredited centre.
I have seen some people that go to JAMB accredited centre to register for JAMB without having an idea of what and where they want to apply for.
On getting there, they start seeking people’s opinion. The truth is you know yourself, nobody knows you. Don’t allow anyone to mislead you!
Get a paper/book, write out your first choice institution/course up till the fourth choice. This will help you make the registration process FASTER!
Before you start choosing your schools/courses, you have to take note of the following:
• You can only choose one Federal university: Once you choose a Federal university as your first choice, you cannot fill any other Federal university.
• You can choose a State university as your First/second choice: If you choose a Federal university as your first choice, you can put a state university as your second choice. However, you cannot put a Federal university as second choice as most of them do not accept.
• Some state universities do not accept second choice: Few State universities like Lagos State University (LASU), Delta State University (DELSU) and some others do not accept second choice for admission anymore. So before filling a state university as your second choice, make sure to check they actually accept it. *How to know if your state university accept second choice?* Check their Post UTME admission form for 2018/2021 and see the requirements the school stated for candidates to apply. If the school accepts second choice or not, you will find it when you check for their 2018/2021 Post UTME form
• Your third choice should be a Polytechnic/College of Education: If you have any Polytechnic/College of education whether Federal, state or private, then you should consider putting then in your *third choice.* However, you may decide to put it in your *second choice too but most of them accepts third choice* . See the list of school that accepts third choice for admission in 2021 here.
• *Your fourth choice MUST be an innovative enterprise* : You cannot do anything but to choose one innovative enterprise as your fourth choice of institution while filling your JAMB form.
YOU CAN APPLY FOR JAMB WITH AN AWAITING RESULT
Have you sat for WAEC/NECO/NABETEB previously but you have not cleared your result OR have you not sat for an O’level exam before? If you are planning to write WAEC/NECO in 2021, you can still register for JAMB.
A lot of people still think it is a MUST to have your O’level result before you register for JAMB. This is very far from the truth.
You can start and complete your JAMB registration without having an O’level result yet.

(GUIDE) Check If Your O’level Result Has Been Uploaded On JAMB Portal
YOU DO NOT NEED A PASSPORT
One thing I have seen UTME candidates going for registration do is to take their passports along with them. This is totally unnecessary as it will not be used.
As a matter of fact, JAMB has stated that no accredited centre should scan passports from candidates. Rather, they will take your picture clearly with the webcam at the JAMB accredited centre. So, don’t waste money on passports for now.
YOU MUST HAVE A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS
Some candidates take email used during JAMB registration with levity. This should not be so as your email address is really important during and after registration.
In fact, you can use your email address to get your JAMB 2021 exam slip. You may also need it to reset to your password if you ever forget the password to your JAMB profile.
So, when you want to register for JAMB 2021, make sure you use a valid email address that you can still log into.
YOU ALSO NEED YOUR NIN
You are probably wondering – What is the meaning of NIN?
NIN stands for National Identification Number.
Initially, JAMB had make NIN compulsory for all candidates who wish to register for JAMB 2020. Later, it was cancelled in 2020 and JAMB made it known that NIN will be required for JAMB 2021 registration.
The latest news now is that JAMB will require NIN use for JAMB registration 2021.
Now that you know those, here is how to fill your JAMB form 2021/2022 successfully:
