What Is JAMB Change of Course?
After seeing your UTME results, you may decide to switch to a different course — either because your score is not sufficient for your original choice, or because you have changed your mind about what you want to study.
JAMB allows candidates to change their course during the official amendment window.
When Is the Change of Course Window?
Like change of institution, the change of course window is opened by JAMB for a limited period after results are released. Check the JAMB portal or JambAdvisor for current dates.
Reasons to Change Course
- Your JAMB score is below the departmental cutoff for your original course.
- You have discovered your O'Level subjects do not match your original course.
- You have changed career direction.
- A related course offers better admission chances with your current score.
