The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has commenced the 2020 Change of Course, Change of Institution, and Bio-Data Correction exercise. Candidates who wish to change their choices of institution/course or correct their personal details (Name, Date of Birth, Gender, State, and Local Government of Origin) can now do so at any accredited CBT centre or JAMB State Office.
Cost and Important Rules to Keep in Mind
- Official JAMB Fee: ₦2,500 (excluding bank charges of ₦100 and the service charge at the accredited CBT centre).
- Single Payment Covers Multiple Edits: With a single ₦2,500 payment, you can change your institution, course, name, date of birth, state, and local government of origin at the same time.
- Frequency Limit: While Change of Course/Institution can be done more than once (with a fresh payment each time), Bio-Data Correction can only be done once.
- Check Requirements First: Before changing your course or school, verify that your UTME score meets the new school's cut-off mark and that your O'Level and UTME subject combinations match the course requirements.
Step-by-Step Procedure for JAMB Change of Course & Data Correction
- Log in to your JAMB e-Facility Profile.
- Open the menu tab on your dashboard and click on "Register".
- From the drop-down menu, select "UTME Correction of Data".
- Follow the prompts to pay the ₦2,500 fee either online with your debit card or at the bank (with an additional ₦100 bank charge).
- Take your payment details to the nearest JAMB State Office or accredited CBT centre to complete the biometric verification and submit the changes.
Once you have switched to your new institution of choice, start practicing its specific screening questions on the Mentra POST-UTME app, available on both Android and iOS.
