However, irrespective of the mistakes made and the errors committed, there is hope. In this post, we will show you how to correct mistakes made during Jamb registration. We would cover the mistakes candidates have committed and the ones correctable on Jamb profile.
Before we go on with the steps on how to correct mistakes made during Jamb Registration, we would love to point out that mistakes are inevitable. No one is above mistake. Mistakes can happen at any time. So, you are not alone. Many other persons made the same mistake you made. So do not be in a hurry to crucify yourself. Are we together on this? I believe we are. Okay, let’s move on.

How To Correct Mistakes Made During Jamb Registration
If you have made the mistake of using wrong name for registration, wrong passport photograph, wrong UTME subject combination, wrong choices of institution/courses as well as wrong date of birth, here are the steps to follow in correcting them.
- Visit any of the Jamb approved CBT centres nationwide.
- But, before going, Login to your profile. On the dashboard, click on “UTME Registration Data Correction” to make payment.
- Click on the mistake you want to correct.
- Afterwards, a transaction ID will be displayed for you.
- Please make sure you properly store the Transaction ID. It will be used for all future references. And, you will use it to make the necessary payment.
- Click on the “continue” button and pay through your ATM card, the sum of #2,500. If you do not know how to pay online, please copy the transaction ID. Payments can also be made through Remita.
- Take it to any bank to make your payment, using the ID.
- After making the payment, approach any of the approved CBT centres for the next correction.
Please, instead of making mistakes in the above procedures, the CBT centre can help you through the process. So, to make it easier for you, to correct any mistake made during the registration, visit any Jamb approved CBT Centre.
Also Note: You will pay #2,500 for any correction you want to make.

please the email I used in registering for jamb has been disable.. and when I tried logging in my jamb profile it keep telling me invalid email or password.. I have to reset my password through my email and the email has been disabled.. please what do I do sir??
If your email account was disabled that shouldn’t stop you from logging into your JAMB profile account (if you type it incorrectly). But the only place you should start having problem is where JAMB wants to send you something important via email that you will not get it, cos as you said that your email account is disabled.
But right now you can login even when the email is disabled or deleted, cos JAMB and email services are not working together. You only create the email for it to be your login ID and to receive and send information (data).
