JAMB Data Correction: Guide to Course and Institution Changes

To change your JAMB course or institution, visit an

accredited CBT center or JAMB office

, pay the fee (around N2,500-N3,500), and request the service using your JAMB details (email/phone); confirm the new choices carefully, ensuring you meet the new school/course requirements (including O’level/UTME subjects) and that the school’s admission portal is still open, as changes replace previous ones and have deadlines tied to school admissions, not just JAMB’s; Change Of Courses, Institutions For Admissions-JAMB

The JAMB Change of Course or Institution (officially known as Correction of Data) allows candidates to amend their choices after the UTME results are released. This is often necessary if your score doesn’t meet the cut-off mark for your original choice or if you’ve had a change of heart regarding your career path.

As of December 2026, JAMB has begun accrediting CBT centres for the 2026 UTME, and the portal for data correction typically opens shortly after the examination results are announced.

Step-by-Step Process:
  1. Initiate Online: Go to the official JAMB portalor an accredited center, select “Correction of Data” and then “Course/Institution”.
  2. Payment: Pay the required fee (e.g., N2,500 + service charge) to generate a Transaction ID.
  3. Provide Details: Enter your exam year and registration number.
  4. Select Choices: Choose your new preferred institution and course (and second choice if needed).
  5. Visit Center: Go to a JAMB office or accredited CBT center to finalize the process.
  6. Verification: Provide your thumbprint for verification.
  7. Confirmation: Get a printout of your updated details as proof.
Key Considerations:
  • Deadline: The window closes when individual schools close admissions, so act fast.
  • Requirements: Confirm your O’Level subjects and UTME scores match the new course’s requirements before changing.
  • No Duplicates: Avoid changing to a school whose Post-UTME has already passed.
  • Official Channels: Only use official JAMB channels; disregard unofficial requests from institutions.
  • Cost: Expect fees around N2,500-N3,500 plus CBT center charges.
  • Limit: You generally have a maximum of two changes (institution/course combined) for the year.
