Why NIN Is Required for JAMB
JAMB mandated the National Identification Number (NIN) as a prerequisite for UTME registration to:
- Reduce multiple registration by the same candidate.
- Link results to a permanent national identity.
- Prevent exam malpractice.
Without a valid NIN, you cannot register for JAMB UTME.
