Where & How Much to Process Your Change

  • Approved Centres: You can process your change of course or institution at any accredited JAMB CBT centre or JAMB State Office nationwide.
  • Official Cost: The JAMB portal fee is ₦3,500, plus the standard CBT centre service charge.

Smart Steps Before Changing Your Course or Institution

  • Check Subject Combinations & Cut-Off Marks First: Before paying for a change, confirm that your four (4) UTME subjects and five (5) O'Level credit passes match the exact requirements of the new course and university you are switching to.
  • Need Guidance? Ask in the Comments: If you are unsure whether switching to a particular university or course is a smart move, drop a fresh comment below with your 2025 UTME score, UTME subject combination, current choice, and intended new choice so our admissions team can advise you!

You can also check course requirements and practice past questions on the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
