The change is really here! All previous
scratch cards have now been invalidated.
So if you previously had any scratch card,
USED or UNUSED, you can no longer use
them on the new portal. Even if you would
like to re-print your result slip or JAMB
admission letter, you will need repay to do
that. If you initially saved the document
somewhere, good for you.
With the new system in place, candidates
will now be required to have internet
enabled ATM cards to be able to print their
JAMB result slips, Admission letter or use
any e-facility. Parents can also help their
children make payments, BUT if you have
more than one Child, you will need to
choose which of them you would like to
purchase a service for, as 1 account can
only process services for 1 JAMB
registration number. This simply means if
you purchase JAMB result slip for JAMB
registration number 12345678AB, you can
purchase JAMB admission letter and other
services for only 12345678AB. It is
therefore advisable for candidates
themselves to create a JAMB account using
their emails and phone numbers, right from
Registration (From 2017 UTME).
As for scratch card vendors, cafe operators,
business centres, the new JAMB system has
been designed to limit or totally prevent
multiple requests from different JAMB
registration numbers. You will therefore
have to find alternatives or maybe register
as an accredited JAMB centre. Whether or
not this restriction will be lifted to allow
candidates, who don’t have bank account
an option, only time will tell.
The portal seems to still be under
construction, as we see some facilities are
either not yet active or contain certain
errors.
Some of the systems currently described
above may change as the 2017 UTME
registration draws closer, but until then,
JAMB no longer uses scratch cards.
