The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has implemented a new policy that allows candidates to change their institution. This policy enables candidates to switch from the university initially allocated to them to a university of their choice, provided that both institutions offer the desired course. This change provides candidates with greater flexibility and ensures that they can pursue their education in an institution that meets their specific academic needs.
Did you make any mistakes while registering for your 2024 UTME exam, or are you considering changing your choice of institution to one that better suits your preferences? No worries—JAMB has made the process simple and convenient.
Candidates for the 2024 JAMB can update their bio-data and change their preferred institution directly through the JAMB Portal.
Even after taking the JAMB Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), you can still perform this action. Direct entry students also have the option to apply for a change of course form.
The Change of Institution is open to candidates who:
- Made an error on the registration form.
- Based on personal considerations, decide to transfer institution.
- Failed to meet the cut-off mark.
Additionally take notice that there is a cost associated with updating an institution or correcting data on the JAMB portal.
The Cost of changing the institutional form:
The cost to update your bio-data and change your institution was approximately two thousand five hundred naira (N2500). When the process is ready to start, JAMB will ask for this money.
To pay for this service on JAMB CAPS, you can use your ATM card or any other payment method you choose.
The JAMB 2024 Change of Institution Online Procedures:
You can visit any JAMB-accredited center in your area to enroll for the change of institution or bio-data, or you can follow the instructions below to complete the enrollment process through the JAMB site on your own.
