  • There should be a space between the word “NIN” and your 11-digit NIN (Note that the number must not have been used by another person to register for UTME/DE in the past).
  • A Profile Code of 10 characters will be sent to the candidate on the same phone number
  • The phone number used for the text message is automatically tied to the candidate’s 2025 application, Examination, and Admission.

After getting the profile code, what next?
