Did you gain admission without going through JAMB or transfer to another school, only to find your name missing from JAMB's admission records? There is no need to worry, as JAMB regularisation exists precisely for this situation.

This process acts as the official correction needed to synchronise your academic records with JAMB, especially if you entered university through Direct Entry, transfer, or another non standard pathway. 

The good news is that you can complete everything online through your JAMB profile. Let us walk through the simple steps to resolve this issue and secure full recognition for your degree.

Gather the following documents before you begin to ensure a smooth regularisation process:

  1. Admission Letter from Your Institution.
  2. O’Level Result (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB).
  3. Recent Passport Photograph.
  4. Personal Information.
  5. Institution and Course Details.
  6. JAMB Registration Number (if available).
  7. Valid Means of Identification.

Step 6: Print and Submit the Form

  • Print the JAMB Indemnity Form and take it to your institution’s admission office for approval and official endorsement.

Step 7: Wait for Confirmation

How to Check your JAMB Regularisation Status

After completing the regularisation, to confirm the procedures, you are to proceed as follows:

  • Visit the JAMB Portal
  • Log in with your JAMB email and password.
  • After a successful login, scroll down, locate and click the “check admission status” tab.

How Long Does JAMB Regularisation Take?
