JAMB Cancels Use of Scratch Cards, Restructures website.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has officially effected the
cancellation of use of scratch cards, and has further redesigned it’s
portal to cater for the new changes. Although the portal seems to still
be under construction as some facilities are not yet active.
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 (More details on the internet
enabled ATM cards will be explained later). Alternatively, parents can
also help their children make payments, BUT if you have more than one
Child, you can only purchase for just 1, as 1 account can only process
services for 1 JAMB registration number/candidate. This simply means if
you purchase JAMB result slip for JAMB registration number 77552233GH,
you can purchase JAMB admission letter and other services for only
77552233GH.
It is therefore advisable for candidates themselves to open a bank
account (if they dont have), create a JAMB account using their emails
and phone numbers, which will be used for the 2017 UTME Registration.
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.
Furthermore, 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.
Whether or not this restriction will be lifted to allow candidates, who
don’t have bank account an option, only time will tell. Better still if
you are hoping to register for the 2017 UTME, its advisable you open a
bank account, besides you need one as a student and in general.
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.
