Why is the deadline for Change of Institution into UNIZIK (July 5) earlier than the Post-UTME registration closing date (July 12)?

Hello Somto! UNIZIK downloads updated JAMB records from CAPS onto apply.unizik.edu.ng in batches, so any candidate switching their institution or course to UNIZIK must complete the change on JAMB by Sunday, 5th July, 2026 so their details can sync before the portal closes on Sunday, 12th July, 2026.
