Updated: THE Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB Change of Course and Institution has COMMENCED for 2025/2026 Academic Session!
THIS is to inform all the candidates who participated in the 2025 JAMB UTME that the change of JAMB course and/or institution for 2025/25 Session has commenced.
The change of institution and course is 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 2025 scores.
If you scored 180 in the JAMB 2025 Examination and you choose a competitive Institution like 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 change of course and/or institution.
