The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has activated the portal for 2026 UTME Change of Course, Change of Institution, and Bio-Data Correction at accredited CBT centres and JAMB offices nationwide.
Step-by-Step Guide for 2026 JAMB Change of Institution / Course
- Confirm Course & School Requirements First: Before making any change, verify that your 2026 UTME score, UTME subject combination, and O'Level credits meet the exact requirements of the new institution and course you want to switch to.
- Visit an Accredited CBT Centre or JAMB Office: Walk into any JAMB-approved CBT centre or state office with your 2026 JAMB registration/result slip.
- Request for Correction of Data: Inform the operator that you want to process a "Change of Institution" or "Change of Course" (you can also correct your Bio-Data if needed).
- Payment: Pay the mandatory JAMB fee of ₦2,500 (plus the approved CBT centre service charge, typically between ₦700 and ₦1,000).
- Data Update & Biometric Verification: Provide your new First, Second, Third, or Fourth choice institution/course and authorize the transaction using your biometric thumbprint.
- Print Confirmation Slip: Collect your printed Change of Data Slip as proof of the update.
Once you have updated your institution and course, start preparing for your new university's Post-UTME screening using the Mentra POST-UTME app, or prepare for future UTME exams with the Mentra JAMB CBT app, both available on Android and iOS.
