PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING
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 and ensure that the institution you'd be changing to have the courses you intended, you can be sure of this by requesting for JAMB brochure from our team. In fact you need to be sure of this because once this is done, you cannot change back later.
-Ensure and verify that the school you are changing to does not usually have a cut off mark higher than your score, so you don't sit out your Screening and admission when it is out.
- 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, you can also verify this using the brochure.
After all these have been verified and implemented, you may now proceed and follow the below process to effect the changes:
STEPS TO FOLLOW
Step 1- Log into your jamb profile
Step 2- open the menu tab on your jamb profile
Step 3- Click Register, under register a drop box will appear showing UTME correction of data
Step 4- Click it and follow the steps to pay either online or bank. You can make your payment online via JAMB portal. If you are having difficulties doing that, you can pay to the bank.
Step 6- After paying N2500 at the bank plus additional bank charge of N100 naira, proceed to either the closest JAMB office or a JAMB accredited centre to complete the process. An additional fee will be charged for the service.
Note: You can carry out all of the above process at an accredited centre. you're advised strictly from doing this on mobile. Because you can't even complete the process as there'd be need for thumbprinting.
Also note the following;
- You can change one or all your courses/institutions at the same time.
- Once the form is submitted, you can no longer make any changes again except for change of course and institution that can be done twice, please note this part it is very important.
-There may be a limited number of schools or courses you can change to, so be sure to have 3 or 4 options, just in case the one you want to change to is not available.
- The cost for the change of course and Data correction is N2,500 payable online or banks.
- You can use the one time payment of N2,500 to change your institution, course, name, date of birth, State and Local Government of origin.
- if you will need to change your institution again probably you changed your decision, you'd still be required to pay another N2,500 so be sure of the above instructions before you take steps.
If you have successfully done yours, use the comment section to let us know how it went.
BEST REGARDS

A candidate has changed her course earlier i.e before the exam, and is attempting to change the course again and has made another payment but she is not granted the permission to proceed. But other corrections are allowed but not change of course. Will she still be able to make the change before due time?
ReplyDeleteNo, the only thing she can change now is the options available to her.

ReplyDeletePls i heard a rumour that whenever you change your 1st choice of institution,after the utme exam and registration the set of candidates that registered with the institution are first considered in the admission with the institution before attending to candidates that changed theirs after registration.But i doubt the authenticity.so is it true?
ReplyDeleteNo, it isn't, what matters is using the particular school as first choice or not.
DeleteIs Oyo one of the catchment areas of University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN)? Because I saw it in the brochure
ReplyDeleteYes it is
