Update: The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB Change of Course and Institution has COMMENCED for the 2021/2022 Academic Session!
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.

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. 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.

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.

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.
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.
