JAMB 2024 Guidelines for Change of Course, Institution, and Data Correction

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially opened the portal for candidates to change their course, institution, or correct their personal details for the 2024 academic session. This process can be completed online and requires a fee of N2,500.

How to Change Your Course or Institution

Candidates who need to change their course or institution should visit the official JAMB website. The change can only be processed online at JAMB CBT accredited centers, and a service fee of N2,500 applies.

Bio-data Corrections

Candidates can also correct their bio-data, including:

  • Name
  • Date of Birth
  • Gender
  • State of Origin
  • Local Government of Origin

Before You Make Changes

Before proceeding, ensure the following:

  • Verify Course Availability: Check if the desired course is offered at the institution using the JAMB Brochure.
  • Cut-off Marks: Make sure your score meets the cut-off mark for the new institution.
  • Subject Combination: Ensure your subject combination aligns with the new course to avoid disqualification during admission screening.
