Many 2020 UTME candidates have been asking whether the JAMB Change of Course and Institution portal has fully opened for biometric processing at CBT centres. While the payment link has been enabled on candidates' e-Facility profiles, candidates are advised to confirm active processing at an accredited CBT centre or JAMB State Office before making payments.

3 Essential Checks Before Changing Your Course or Institution

  1. Verify O'Level and UTME Subject Combinations: Make sure the four UTME subjects you wrote and your five O'Level credits match the exact requirements of the new course and university you are switching to.
  2. Compare Your UTME Score Against the Cut-Off Mark: Check both the general institutional cut-off mark and the specific departmental cut-off mark of your target school to be sure your 2020 UTME score is competitive.
  3. Confirm Course Accreditation: Verify in the official JAMB Brochure that the institution actually offers the specific course you intend to select.

While preparing to finalize your change of course or institution, start practicing past screening questions for your target school on the Mentra POST-UTME app, available on both Android and iOS.

While you can generate the invoice and pay online via your JAMB e-Facility profile, you must still visit an accredited CBT centre or JAMB office for thumbprint/OTP verification to complete the change.
