This new policy is a game-changer for students who have lost access to their registered phone numbers or email accounts, making the path to university admission much smoother.<\/p>\n\n<p>For years, losing your registered SIM card or email account meant serious problems during UTME registration and admission processing. However, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has finally recognised this challenge and taken action. The new policy allows candidates to update their contact details before the 2027 UTME exercise, removing a major barrier that has complicated many students&#8217; tertiary education dreams.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What This New JAMB Policy Means for You<\/h2>\n\n<p>The decision to lift the ban on SIM swap and email changes comes directly from JAMB leadership, according to statements made by Benjamin (JAMB spokesperson). The move is specifically designed to ease difficulties that candidates have faced when they lose access to their registered credentials\u2014a situation that has repeatedly derailed admission processes in the past.<\/p>\n\n<p>Therefore, if you&#8217;ve changed your phone number or can no longer access your registered email address, you&#8217;ll now be able to update these details in your JAMB profile before registering for the 2027 UTME. This is a significant relief for thousands of Nigerian students who worried about losing their registration status.<\/p>\n\n<h2>How to Update Your SIM or Email on JAMB Portal<\/h2>\n\n<p>While the official registration portal details will be announced by JAMB, here&#8217;s what you should expect:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Log in to your JAMB CAPS (Candidates&#8217; Admission Processing System) account<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to your personal profile settings<\/li>\n<li>Locate the SIM\/Phone Number and Email sections<\/li>\n<li>Update your new contact information<\/li>\n<li>Verify your changes with your valid ID or BVN (if required)<\/li>\n<li>Save and confirm the updates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>In addition, JAMB may require you to verify these changes through an OTP (One-Time Password) sent to your new email or phone number. Therefore, ensure both details are correct before submission.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Why This Policy Change Is Important<\/h2>\n\n<p>The previous ban on SIM and email changes created unnecessary stress for candidates. Many students faced rejection or admission delays simply because they couldn&#8217;t access the contact details registered at the time of initial UTME registration. Furthermore, this policy change demonstrates JAMB&#8217;s commitment to making the admission process more candidate-friendly and flexible.<\/p>\n\n<p>For admission checking (especially following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ddmjxh8Ibqd\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">recent admission batch releases from universities like University of Ilorin<\/a>), having accessible contact details is crucial. You&#8217;ll receive important admission notifications via your registered email and phone number.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What You Need to Do Right Now<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a UTME candidate preparing for the 2027 exercise, here are practical steps:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Check your current details:<\/strong> Log into your JAMB CAPS and verify your registered SIM and email<\/li>\n<li><strong>Update if needed:<\/strong> Once the policy is fully implemented, make any necessary changes immediately<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep records:<\/strong> Screenshot or note your new contact details for reference<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monitor official announcements:<\/strong> Follow <a href=\"#\" class=\"internal-link-placeholder\" data-topic=\"JAMB official channels and updates\">JAMB official channels and updates<\/a> for registration timelines and procedures<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay alert:<\/strong> Watch for phishing scams or fraudulent JAMB portals when updating credentials<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2>Related Updates You Should Know About<\/h2>\n\n<p>Alongside this policy change, Nigerian education authorities continue improving admission processes. Recent updates include the <a href=\"#\" class=\"internal-link-placeholder\" data-topic=\"2027 UTME registration requirements and timeline\">2027 UTME registration requirements and timeline<\/a>, and important changes to <a href=\"#\" class=\"internal-link-placeholder\" data-topic=\"Federal Unity Colleges admission policies\">Federal Unity Colleges admission policies<\/a>.

Frequent changes might trigger security alerts. Update once and keep those details stable until after your admission process is complete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<h3 class=\"faq-question\">What if I forgot my JAMB CAPS login details?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"faq-answer\">Visit the official JAMB website at www.jamb.org.ng and use the &#8220;Forgot Password&#8221; or &#8220;Account Recovery&#8221; option. You&#8217;ll need your registration number and BVN to regain access. Do not use third-party websites or pay anyone to recover your account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<h3 class=\"faq-question\">Will changing my SIM or email affect my 2026 UTME results?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"faq-answer\">No. This policy applies to future registrations starting with 2027 UTME.
