The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has officially activated the 2026 UTME Change of Institution and Course/Programme process for candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
Candidates who wish to change their institution or course of study can now proceed to any approved and accredited CBT centre nationwide to carry out the process.
Applicants are strongly advised to visit only accredited CBT centres authorized by JAMB to avoid errors, fraud, or invalid modifications during the change of institution exercise.
The process allows candidates to:
1. Change their preferred institution
2. Change their course or programme
3. Correct admission-related choices based on performance or admission requirements
Candidates are also advised to carefully confirm:
– The admission requirements of their new institution
– The approved UTME subject combination
– The institution’s cut-off mark and admission policies before making any changes
Further updates regarding the 2026/2027 admission exercise are expected as institutions begin releasing their admission guidelines and screening procedures.
