JAMB RELEASES GUIDELINES FOR 2021 CHANGE OF COURSE/INSTITUTION & OTHER DATA CORRECTIONS

The JAMB change of course and institution for 2021 has started. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed all candidates who wish to change their course or institution to proceed to the board’s site and follow the procedure as displayed.

The process is currently ongoing and costs N2,500 and can only be processed online, just like every other process of the board.

All candidates who wish to effect changes on either their course institution or their bio-data can proceed to do so at the closest JAMB CBT accredited centre.

You can also correct your Bio-data which include your name, date of birth, gender, State and Local Government of origin.

Before you proceed to do that, please make sure you do the following;

Be sure of the Course/Institution you would like to make changes. Verify if the course is available in the school using the JAMB Brochure.

Ensure that the school you are changing to does not usually have a cut off mark higher than your score.

Ensure you select a Course/Institution that is in line with your subject combination to avoid being screened out during your school’s admission screening exercise.
