DE Admission: JAMB opens portal for change of institution, course

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that Direct Entry (DE) applicants for 2024 can now request a change of institution or course choice.

Interested applicants can access the service for changing institution/course on the JAMB portal, as disclosed by the official JAMB Twitter handle.

JAMB disclosed this via its official X handle (formerly Twitter).

It said; “This is to inform 2024 DE applicants who wish to apply for a change of institution/course that the service is now available.”

In addition, students looking to enroll in the Nigerian Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) and other open distance learning centers are now required to register through JAMB.

All candidates are also mandated to provide their unique National Identification Number (NIN) during registration, as JAMB aims to prevent fraud and maintain the integrity of candidates’ records.

JAMB’s advisory in Abuja highlights their commitment to ensuring a smooth registration process for all applicants.

The advisory reads, “As part of measures to checkmate the nefarious activities of fraudulent characters, who are scheming to compromise candidates’ records through dubious registration channels and in compliance with its enabling act, JAMB has mandated that all applicants desirous of studying in Nigerian tertiary institutions must provide their NIN while registering for any programme of study in any tertiary institutions in Nigeria irrespective of whether the mode of study is regular and non-regular.”
