The 2026 JAMB change of course and institution process has officially begun. Candidates looking to modify their choices or correct their bio-data can now do so at any accredited CBT centre or official JAMB office.
Before proceeding, we strongly advise making sure that a change is absolutely necessary. If you are ready to make the switch, follow the guide below:
Step-by-Step Guide for JAMB change of course and institution
