How To Contact JAMB For Complaints: In this article, I will be talking about how to contact or reach out to jamb in case of complaints or inquiries.
It feels quite disturbing to have an issue but can’t find the fastest or easiest way to go about it. There are little inquiries that help cut off some issues that grow into larger problems. This makes information a necessary tool.
Jamb stands for Joint Admission And Matriculation Board. Most students or prospects know about the board, its uses, and its duties. But for the records, it is a pathway between the student and the university education.
Students, parents, guardians, or candidates having difficulties airing out their grievances as per circumstances that arise during/after registration and cbt exams should please read carefully.
Note that the joint admission and matriculation board conducts their exams Annually. by annually I mean once a year, and during this period all prospects are expected to follow the process, of registration, capturing, reprinting of slip, allocation of venue, etc.
It’s of no news now that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board demands a NIN (National Identity Number) before sending a student’s OTP for registration.
