How Much Is JAMB Change Of Course/Institution 2020/2021
The price of JAMB change of course in #2,500. Take note that you can use this single fee to change any of your choices of courses/institutions (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th) or all at once before submitting.
There will also be an additional bank charge (around N170 the last time I did for someone). If you want to do the change of course at a cyber cafe, you are sure to pay even more.
You don’t need to pay multiple fees to change all of them as long as you have not submitted in on JAMB portal.

You can also change at JAMB CBT accredited centres nationwide.

Yet To Receive JAMB OTP After Change of Course/Institution
You will be requested to enter your OTP before you can proceed with the change at CBT centre.
If you have not received your OTP, no problem. Here’s how to go about it.
- Login to your portal and go to My payment.
- Then check out the changes and click on continue. You will see a message which says, “Go to the nearest cbt center for the changes”.
- Look at the top of the page, you will see “resend OTP“, click on it. The OTP will be sent to your number immediately.
NOTE: The OTP will be sent to the number you used for the registration.
If you still find it difficult, go to any JAMB accredited centre to do it.
You might be asking, “how long does it take jamb change of institution to reflect on JAMB portal?”.
The simple answer is Immediately.
However, your school of choice might not detect the change until they update their list from JAMB portal.
This is the reason why some people find out their JAMB CAPS portal or school admission portal does not change immediately.
Another good question is, “how many times can I do change of institution or course in 2020?“.
Well, you can change as much as three times before your Post UTME at all, and you can still even change course/institution after Post UTME (for those that were given another course).

Hi,I wrote Jamb 2018 and I want to do change of course, I paid #2500 already for the change since January this year, and since then it has refused to change. Whenever I try to change it, it says, “the course chosen does not tally with the admitted course”. Please what should I do
After the lockdown is over, proceed to JAMB CBT centre to complete it. You will no longer pay N2,500 as long as your payment is still showing “Success (unused)” under My Payment on your JAMB profile.
When is the change of course/institution for 2020 for federal university Lafia ending please?
It does not close, just make sure you make the change before the Post UTME registration starts.
Good day
Please, I went to a cyber cafe to do change of institution
And I was told that I should wait till Jamb centre are active ,that I should just make the payment now so that there won’t be any problem
So,later when they are active I should now change it
Please should I follow wat he said
There is no problem doing that, you might as well just start and complete the process at the JAMB accredited centre.
please sir, are jamb CBT centre active now for Change of institution
The lockdown is still on. Other than that, yes.
Sir despite the post people are saying jamb portal is close,pls is it true sir?bcoz i want to change course

Sir please i tried to change my choice of institution for jamb de and it was showing service not available…..is the portal open for changing or there is just a glitch in rhe portal
Go to an accredited CBT centre to effect the change.
Can i do the change of institute my self
Last year, I personally did change of institution more than 5 times for people on their JAMB e-facility portal.
So far this year, I have not done for anyone and hence, I am not sure whether JAMB still allows it or you have to proceed to CBT centre.
But one thing is certain.
If you pay the N2,500 and you try to change and it doesn’t go through, you can proceed to any CBT centre to complete it and all you will pay is N700 for service (you won’t pay the N2,500 again).
So, what I am saying is, if you follow the procedures above, it is worth trying.
Please each time I tried to login on jamb portal it keeps telling me invalid password.is it not d password I use to for d email DAT m still suppose to use?
No, the password you used during JAMB registration. It may or may not be the same with the one you used for your email. Try jamb2020 as your password.
PLEASE SOMEONE SHOULD HELP ME, I MAKE A PAYMENT FOR CHANGING OF COURSE/INSTITUTION THEY ARE TELLING ME TO PROCEED TO THE NEAREST CBT CENTER TO MAKE THE DESIRED DATA CORRECTION. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM

Try logging out of your JAMB portal and log in again. If you used Remita platform, go to Remita website, paste your RRR and check transaction.
Yes, it is because you have not changed yet.
