Introducing NIN, NIN means National Identification Number.

In case you don’t know, NIN will be used to register for the JAMB exam in 2021.

There is a very good reason why JAMB decided to use NIN.

In 2020, there were issues related to candidates registering for JAMB more than once.

Jamb have decided to use the National Identification Number for the registration, in order to prevent double registration.

If you want to get your own NIN, go to their nearest office in your state or town.

You will fill out a form and be asked for some necessary documents before you can get it.
