The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) have enabled the
portal for JAMB 2020 Change of Course/Institution Form. This process is
to enable candidates’ effect the needed changes in their earlier
selected course and/or institution.
Why Candidates Apply for JAMB Change of Course/Institution
There are obviously three good reasons why a candidate may need to change his/her jamb choice of course or institution or both:
LOW JAMB SCORE: After
the release of Jamb results, the next thing to face is admission
screening exercise and admissions. Now take for instance that someone
applied for a federal university of technology, Minna who will probably
fix a cut-off mark of 200 and above; if such candidate scored less than
200, it simply means he/she has lost the admission. In this case the
change of institution to a state-owned/private University becomes
necessary. State universities generally fix cut-off marks below 200.
INCOMPLETE O”LEVEL RESULTS: In
this case candidates who may have ran into deficiency of required
credit passes in some key/relevant subjects may decide to go for change
of course to accommodate themselves.
MISTAKES DURING REGISTRATION: Was
there a mistake while filling your registration by either you or the
business/cyber cafe? With this help, you can now correct any errors made
during registration of your course or institution.
OTHER CHALLENGE: These
includes several factors ranging from finance, change in Geographical
locations, Parent’s suggestions, Fear of Tribal differences, etc. Such
cases treated under this heading result to change of institution.

change to a course relating to your UTME Subject combination.
