How to apply for JAMB change of course and institution

Let me quickly answer this question about the closing date of JAMB change of course or institutions. Change of course or change of institutions has no closing date. This exercise continues until admission ends for a particular school.

This was confirmed by the authorities of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board when queried about the closing date for data correction. Mr Benjamin, JAMB’s Head of Public Relations in the interview had said the following:

“It is a continuous exercise and we do not intend to close the procedure; it will only close after admission has been concluded.

“This is so because there are moments whereby candidates who chose particular institution will not have an opportunity there and another institution will want to offer them admission.
“If closed it will be difficult to access such offer, all candidates need to do is go back to the portal and make changes to those institutions and access available opportunities.
“We want to avoid a situation whereby candidates will have multiple admission and will take one and be denied that opportunity.
“When we do that statistics will be strengthened; if candidates choose the University of Lagos and later consider YabaTech the statistic will reflect the second choice.
“So that when we are giving an account of admission of the candidate, we will be able to provide accurate statistic and not distorted data we have been dishing out before.”
In light of this, JAMB change of course and institution portal 2018 will remain open until the end of admission exercise. To clarify, you can still make those changes as there’s technically no closing date. When admission ends, you can’t even get admission into any school, let alone change from one to another.

Reasons for change for JAMB change of course and change of institutions

80% of questions I get on Fatherprada’s blog are usually of those concerned with subject combinations. What they can study with it without a particular course.

  • For commercial students, they ask which course they can study without Economics.
  • For Art student, they ask which course they can study without Literature in English language.
  • For science student, they ask which course they can study without Chemistry or Physics.

Many students and possibly schools are not guided before they register for WAEC. It is expected that a student knows the correct subject combination for a course before embarking on WAEC registration. If a student eventually succeeded in getting admission, he or she will be screened out during the departmental screening.

Moreover, most students go for a change of institution because they could not meet up the University of their choice cut-off mark. Another reason a student will opt in for a change, of course, is failed core subjects. If you’re here because you failed a subject, then you’re in the right place. Because I have designed a database containing 700 courses with matching O level results.

Meaning, you submit only those result where you have at least a credit and Fatherprada’s Panda search Panda will scan for courses that match your result.

For example…

  • You wrote 9 subjects in your WAEC or NECO and you passed only 5 subjects.
  • You head over to Fatherprada’s Panda search and submit those result.
  • Fatherprada’s Panda search will perform a scan and show you courses you can study with the results you have.
  • You can use result from two results ( combinations of o level)
