JAMB Effectively Scraps Scratch Cards, Redesigns Website

Remember when
JAMB earlier
promised to
scrap the use of
scratch cards ?
Well, we can now
confirm that the
board has now
officially effected
the scrapping of use of scratch cards, and has
further redesigned it's portal to cater for the new
changes.
The change is really here! 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. All
Myschoolers, who requested this service through
us however, are immune to this, as you can
always log into your account here and re-print for
free.
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. Parents
can also help their children make payments, BUT
if you have more than one Child, you will need to
choose which of them you would like to
purchase a service for, as 1 account can only
process services for 1 JAMB registration number.
This simply means if you purchase JAMB result
slip for JAMB registration number 12345678AB,
you can purchase JAMB admission letter and
other services for only 12345678AB. It is
therefore advisable for candidates themselves to
create a JAMB account using their emails and
phone numbers, right from Registration (From
2017 UTME).
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. Whether or not this restriction will
be lifted to allow candidates, who don't have
bank account an option, only time will tell.
The portal seems to still be under construction,
as we see some facilities are either not yet
active or contain certain errors.
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. Period!
