How Much Is JAMB Change Of Course/Institution 2020/2021
The price of JAMB change of course in #2,500. Take note that you can use this single fee to change any of your choices of courses/institutions (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th) or all at once before submitting.
There will also be an additional bank charge (around N170 the last time I did for someone). If you want to do the change of course at a cyber cafe, you are sure to pay even more.
You don’t need to pay multiple fees to change all of them as long as you have not submitted in on JAMB portal.
Where You Can Change Your Course/Institution In 2020
You can change your course/institution on JAMB portal anywhere using your mobile phone/laptop.
If you have a PC at home, you don’t need to go to cyber café to pay an extra charge of #1,000 or more to change your institution.
All you need is to follow the simple guidelines below.
You can also change at JAMB CBT accredited centres nationwide.
How To Do JAMB Change Course/Institution 2020/2021 On JAMB Portal
QUICK UPDATE: Changing of course or/and institution in 2020 now requires you to go to JAMB CBT centre.
However, you can make the payment at home yourself by following the steps below and you will not be required to pay the #2,500 again.
If you have already paid but cannot click the button for change of course/institution, kindly proceed to the nearest JAMB CBT centre to complete the change.
If you want to make payment by yourself, follow the procedures below.
1. Go to JAMB profile login page by clicking https://jamb.org.ng/eFacility_/Login (opens in a new tab)
2. Enter your email address and password used for registration and click on Login.
3. Once logged in, you will be taken to your JAMB profile dashboard where you will see all available services.
4. Click on ‘Registration (2020 only)’ from the list of services on the left side.
5. From the drop down, select ‘2020 UTME Data Correction‘.
6. Click on the Continue button if you wish to pay with your card immediately. If you wish to use other payment channels like ATM, Cash at the Bank or Quickteller, please note the transaction ID as it will be required.
7. On the Interswitch Payment page, enter your card details and click on the Pay button.
8. The status of your payment will be displayed on the “My Payment Section” An SMS and email containing your unique Transaction Identification and payment status will be sent to you after payment. Click on the Continue button.
9. Once payment is completed, you will be asked to provide the following:
- Year of Exam and
- JAMB Registration Number
10. After entering the information correctly, new options for Preferred course/Institution and second choices will appear. Options available will be based on availability.
11. Click Submit to complete your application.
12. JAMB will now process your application. If Approved, your details will be changed as requested.
NOTE: After paying for the correction of data, if you are not able to access the page to effect the change, just log out of JAMB portal and login again. Then, follow the steps 1-5 above (you will not be requested to pay again)
If you still find it difficult, go to any JAMB accredited centre to do it.
You might be asking, “how long does it take jamb change of institution to reflect on JAMB portal?”.
The simple answer is Immediately.
However, your school of choice might not detect the change until they update their list from JAMB portal.
This is the reason why some people find out their JAMB CAPS portal or school admission portal does not change immediately.
Another good question is, “how many times can I do change of institution or course in 2020?“.
Well, you can change as much as three times before your Post UTME at all, and you can still even change course/institution after Post UTME (for those that were given another course).
How To Reprint JAMB Change Of Course/Institution Slip 2020
A lot of people who were able to change their course/institution have been asking me several questions like:
- I was unable to get the change of institute slip
- I was unable to get my change of courese slip due to network problem
- I am unable to print out my correction of data, after it has be paid
If you are facing a similar issue, there’s no problem. Here’s how to how to go about it.
