JAMB PROFILE NAME: HOW TO CORRECT MISTAKES

JAMB registration is ongoing, and as usual, people make mistakes in their profile names. In this guide, you’ll learn how to correct mistakes in your JAMB profile name spelling or arrangement.

JAMB organizes Nigeria’s biggest entrance examination. Every year millions of students register to participate in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or the Direct Entry exams (DE).

In our previous guide, we explained the steps involved in retrieving your Jamb profile code.

However, mistakes are inevitable. We know several individuals will end up making mistakes either in the spelling or arrangement of their names.

First of all, you need to remember that the correct format for arranging your name is: Surname First name Middle Name. For example, Dele Aishat Amaka. That is, if your surname is Dele, your first name is Aishat and your middle name is Amaka.

Now that you know the correct arrangement, I believe you won’t make another mistake this time around.

HOW TO CORRECT MISTAKES IN JAMB PROFILE NAME
