Many students struggle with printing their JAMB admission letter, but the process is very simple if you follow the right steps.
In this guide, I will walk you through the entire process and answer all the common questions students ask.
What is a JAMB Admission Letter?
A JAMB admission letter is an official document from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) that confirms you have been offered admission into an institution.
The letter contains your full name, JAMB registration number, institution name, course of study, and admission status. Your school will require it for registration, and NYSC will also ask for it when you want to go for service. It is proof that JAMB has recognized your admission.
Who Needs to Print a JAMB Admission Letter?
If you have been admitted into a university, polytechnic, or college of education, then you must print your JAMB admission letter.
Students who need to print the letter include:
Those who just got admitted and need it for school clearance.
Direct Entry (DE) students who gained admission into a university.
Students who lost their admission letter and need a reprint.
Those whose schools requested it for verification.
Graduates who need it for NYSC registration.
If you fall into any of these categories, printing your JAMB admission letter should be a priority.
How to Print JAMB Admission Letter
Printing your JAMB admission letter is simple if you follow these steps:
The first thing you need to do is visit the JAMB e-FACILITY PORTAL. You can access it by going to https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng. This is the official website where you can check your admission status and print your admission letter.
Once you are on the website, log in using the email and password you used during JAMB registration. If you cannot remember your password, click on “Forgot Password?” to reset it.
After logging in, look for the option that says “Print Admission Letter” and click on it. You will be taken to a page where you will be asked to make a payment. JAMB charges ₦1,000 for printing the admission letter. You can pay using Remita, which allows you to use an ATM card, USSD, or bank transfer.
Once your payment is successful, your JAMB admission letter will be available for download. Make sure to check that your name, course, and institution are correct before printing it. You can print it using a home printer or visit a cyber café.
Common Problems and How to Solve Them
Many students face challenges while trying to print their JAMB admission letter. Here are some common problems and solutions:
Some students log in to check their admission letter but see an error message that says “Admission Status Not Found”. If you see this, it means JAMB has not uploaded your admission details yet. The best thing to do is visit your school’s admission office and ask if they have sent your details to JAMB.
Another problem students face is incorrect information on the admission letter. If your name, course, or institution is wrong, you need to apply for JAMB data correction at a JAMB office or an accredited CBT center.
Some students also complain about payment issues. If your Remita payment is not successful, try a different payment method like USSD. If money has been deducted from your account but the payment is not reflecting, wait for a few hours and check again.
Sometimes, students find it hard to log in to the JAMB portal because they forgot their password. If this happens, you can reset your password using the email you registered with. But if the email is wrong or inaccessible, visit a JAMB CBT center for assistance.
How Many Copies of the JAMB Admission Letter Should You Print?
It is advisable to print at least three copies of your JAMB admission letter. One copy will be used for school clearance, another for your personal record, and an extra one in case you misplace the others.
Keeping a soft copy of the admission letter on your phone or email is also a good idea. This way, if you lose the printed copies, you can always print another one.
