You Can Still Change Institutions, Courses, JAMB Tells UTME Candidates

Respite seems to have come the way of candidates who sat for the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and seeking admission into the nation’s tertiary institutions and wanted to change either their most preferred institutions or courses of study to another as they still have the grace to do so.

The Director of Information and Public Affairs, JAMB, Dr Benjamin Fabian, made this revelation at the weekend in an exclusive interview with correspondents.

He said the changes are possible because the admission for the 2020\2021 academic session in many institutions are still ongoing and would likely tarry for a while as many schools are yet to do their post-UTME screenings.

He said but candidates could only change their institutions or proposed courses of study through JAMB only (not directly from schools) for onward and automatic transmission of same to portals of the schools concerned.

He said the changing process is done all though on the electronic platform.
