"JAMB has officially activated the portal for candidates to effect changes in their chosen institutions for the 2026/2027 session."
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced the activation of the 'Change of Institution' process for candidates who participated in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This service is now available to allow students to adjust their preferred course or institution choices, provided they meet the specific requirements set by the receiving institutions.
Candidates are advised to visit any approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) center nationwide to conduct these changes. The process is strictly digital and must be completed through official channels to prevent fraud. Applicants are warned against engaging with third-party unauthorized agents who promise to influence the system. All changes must align with the admission policies released following the May 11 policy meeting.
It is essential for candidates to verify their eligibility before initiating the change, as some institutions have specific requirements regarding subject combinations and aggregate scores. Given that the minimum university cut-off is set at 150, students should ensure that their new choices fall within their performance bracket. For further details on the procedural fees and documentation required at the CBT centers, candidates should check their JAMB profile dashboards regularly.
