THIS is to inform all the candidates who participated in the 2021 JAMB UTME that the change of JAMB course and/or institution for the 2021/2022 Academic Session has commenced.

Related News:

The change of institution and course are introduced to enable JAMB candidates who already know their scores and have verified the cut-off mark of their choice institutions and to make the necessary changes in their choice of course and institution relative to their UTME scores.

If you scored below 180 in the JAMB 2021 Examination and you choose a competitive Institution like the University of Ilorin, UNILORIN, University of Benin, UNIBEN, then you can now apply for a less competitive one to increase your chances of admission. Or if you chose a popular/competitive course like Surgery and Medicine, Accounting, etc. And you scored 199 and below, then you really need to apply for a change of course and/or institution.

    1. If the cutoff mark is below 200, there is hope for you. If it is 200 and above. Well, you will need to apply for change of course.

        1. The guide is available right inside the post. Go to your JAMB Profile and follow the steps. It is simple and very easy. You are going to need N2,500 to complete it.

    1. You don’t need to go to the bank to purchase it. You can do it yourself from the steps provided in the post above. Just login into your Jamb profile and follow the steps. It is very simple.

    good morning,
    i was at two CBT centers on 29/03/208 .
    i was told to come back for the change of institution on Thursday (5 /04/2018)
    i am scared maybe the change of institution has closed.
    2. is it advisable to take unilag as 1st choice and convenant university (CU) as the 2nd option with the believe that CU can still consider me for admission? i scored 290 in jamb and initially i picked CU as my 1st choice but i want to change it as 2nd choice.

    1. 1. The change of institution has not ended. You can as well do it yourself if you follow the steps in the post.
      2. You can choose UNILAG as your first choice. If you are not admitted, I am sure CU do consider candidates who choose them as 2nd choice.

  7. Pls I scored 216 and want to go for accounting in Unilorin bt their cut off mark is 240 Pls can I still gain admission

    1. If the cutoff mark is 240 and you scored below it, you can’t apply for the screening.
      But are you sure the JAMB cutoff mark is 240?

  8. good evening plz can I study mbbs at buk Kano with 227 score or need to change institution or department?

  10. Sir after my jamb registration…. I changed my course and institution
    Can I still change my course and institution again?

    1. According to JAMB, this could be done twice. So yes, you can apply for change of course/institution.
      But if I were you, I will wait for JAMB to announce the official cutoff mark for admission before applying for change of institution and/or course.

  11. I scored 212 and applied to study mass-comm at the university of Ilorin but there cut off mark is 220,any chances of me given another course to study?

    1. Yes. you can apply for change of course.
      Although the official cutoff mark for 2018/19 session has not been released yet.

  12. Please on the JAMB profile > Correction of Data > Change of Course/Institution page, there is no option for 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination… Only from 2017 backwards. Or is it my computer issue?

    1. There is no scratch card this time around. you just need to follow the steps available on the post.
      Please login to your Jamb profile to commence the process.

  13. Is the procedure shown above for change of course by an individual, reliable??

    1. They might give you the option of choosing a related course. But to be on the safe side, you can apply for change of institution.

  18. Pls I changed my course and institution once while changing it at the CBT center I didn’t see my course online so I picked another one. But I heard later that my school offers the course can I change my course again plz. The school is unilag and I don’t know if they have nursing cause that’s what I really want to study please.

    1. From the portal, it is stated that you can make the change of institution/course twice. But I guess that will attract another fee (N2,500.00) only.

    1. The official cutoff mark for abu zaria has not been released yet. But I am certain that 221 will pass the cutoff point for the screening exercise.
