JAMB regularization is ongoing. This is to bring to the notice of the general public that JAMB regularization can now be done on the JAMB E-facility portal.

What is JAMB Regularization?

JAMB Regularization is a process carried out by students or graduates to resolve discrepancies or errors in their admission records with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
