Can I do jamb regularization twice? Explained

JAMB Regularization is the important admission process that students must take to ensure that JAMB board verify their admission status to obtain admission letter and student’s registration number.

In other words, JAMB regularization is known as the process in which JAMB Board validates the admission offered to you by the school you apply to. It is a stage in which the examination governing body checks their database to confirm your admission status.

You would be granted your admission letter and student registration number, thereby, becoming an eligible student once you complete the regularization process.

What is the Importance Of Jamb Regularization

The JAMB regularization is aimed at ensuring that students who were single-handedly admitted by tertiary institutions update their records with JAMB so that the board will have the records that correspond with the ones with your school.

You are required to complete your jamb regularization procedure if you intend to apply for Direct Entry admission into the university.

You can’t get a JAMB registration number if you don’t complete JAMB regularization exercise, which means you can’t continue your quest for admission into the university as an OND, NCE, or HND holder.

This important step is equally designed to prevent unnecessary complications when it’s time to be posted for your national youth service.

Another importance of jamb regularization is that it helps JAMB to keep a record of students offered admission in an academic year.

It equally helps the examination governing body to be on the page with the tertiary institutions regarding admitted student profiles.

Is Jamb Regularization Mandatory

Yes. Jamb regularization is mandatory as it’s one of the processes that allow you to guarantee your status as an eligible student. You must complete the regularization stage before your details will be added to Jamb’s database.

Can I do jamb regularization twice?

Yes. You can do JAMB regularization twice although there is an exception to that. Knowing that there are chances of making mistakes the first time, JAMB allows students to register for JAMB regularization for the second time.

Jamb might reject your regularization registration due to wrong date of birth, incorrect name; hence, you have another opportunity to correct the problems and apply again.

However, the only exception is if you’ve submitted the indemnity form after the first regularization, and JAMB has approved the indemnity form.

You can’t alter your jamb registration number once JAMB signed and approved the indemnity form. Therefore, it is impossible to perform your regulation for the second time.

Let’s divert a little bit and share a few details about the indemnity form since it can directly or indirectly affect your chances of completing the jamb regularization registration.

What Is indemnity Form and its usefulness?

The Indemnity Form is an instrument created by the examination board to verify the genuineness of data provided by candidates.

It is a compulsory form you must fill if you want to change your form, update your data, confirm your admission status; transfer your admission to another tertiary institution, complete Jamb regularization, etc.

Where to get the indemnity Form?

Visit Jamb office to obtain your indemnity form. You are required to fill it up with updated information. Submit it to your school for verification and signature.

The school will sign the form and send it over to jamb for approval. You can still register for JAMB regularization the second time after the school decides to approve the indemnity form.

However, the second-chance option elapses immediately after jamb approved the form and forwards it back to you.
