What Is An Email Address?

An email address is a unique identifier that enables an individual or organization to send and receive electronic messages, files, and other digital content over the internet. It consists of two main components – the local-part, which identifies the user or mailbox, and the domain name, which identifies the email provider or service.

For example, in the email address “johnsmith@gmail.com“, “johnsmith” is the local-part, and “gmail.com” is the domain name. This means that the email address is associated with a user named John Smith, who has an email account with the Gmail service.

This email enables you to receive updates from JAMB at the appropriate time, and it also enables you to create a profile account with JAMB, which will allow you to perform various activities such as:

• Checking your JAMB result
• Printing your JAMB admission letter
• Making corrections to your student data (e.g., name, date of birth, etc.)
• And many more.
