The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has opened the portal for the 2021 Change of Course, Change of Institution, and Correction of Bio-Data exercise at accredited CBT centres and JAMB offices nationwide.
Step-by-Step Process Flow (₦2,500 Fee)
- Log in to your JAMB e-Facility profile at portal.jamb.gov.ng/efacility_/ (or visit an accredited CBT centre directly).
- Open the menu tab on your profile dashboard and click Register.
- From the drop-down list, select UTME Correction of Data (Change of Course/Institution).
- Pay the official fee of ₦2,500 (plus bank/remita charge) online or via bank branch.
- Proceed to an accredited JAMB CBT Centre or JAMB Office to authenticate via thumbprint and submit your new choices (an additional CBT service charge applies at the centre).
5 Crucial Rules to Keep in Mind
- One-Time ₦2,500 Covers Multiple Edits in One Session: With a single ₦2,500 payment, you can simultaneously change your 1st to 4th choice institutions/courses and correct bio-data (Name, Date of Birth, Gender, State/LGA of Origin) before clicking submit.
- Bio-Data Can Only Be Corrected Once: While Change of Course/Institution can be done more than once (by paying again), Correction of Bio-Data (Name, Date of Birth, etc.) can only be done once.
- Check the JAMB Brochure First: Verify that your 4 UTME subjects and 5 O'Level credits match the exact requirements of the new course and university you are changing to.
- Have 2 to 3 Backup Schools Ready: In case a particular course or university is not listed on the drop-down menu, go to the CBT centre with 2 or 3 researched options.
- Prepare for Your New School's Screening: Practice the Post-UTME past questions of your new first-choice university on the Mentra POST-UTME app, available on both Android and iOS.
