Creating a JAMB profile is compulsory for every aspirant. You’d also use the profile login details to access your JAMB CAPS for admission acceptance.
Also, you need to get a National Identification Number (NIN) for your JAMB registration.
It is pretty easy to create your JAMB profile yourself using your phone. You do not need to go to an Internet cafe to do it.
