Searching for the information about the JAMB change of institution deadline? Here it will be for you. It’s vital for some students because the change of course and institution may mean a lot to them. It’s necessary to be on time to do all the necessary corrections and thus determine their future.
Why do we need to know about the change of course/change of institution process?
It happens sometimes that prospective students provide incorrect data regarding their future education. They make mistakes while choosing courses and eventually notice it when the documents are already submitted. The situation is normal so there are certain terms within which you can do the correction.
Apart from the situations when people make mistakes, it’s also possible that at a certain moment of time you decide that you have too little chances of entering a certain university. The competition is too heavy or something like that, or you just discover that you can’t afford to study there or vice versa.
In case things like this happen, you can also do the correction and change the course of your choice or even the entire institution but, again, you need to know when the deadline is just to be in time.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board allows students to do all the necessary corrections within a period of time that usually doesn’t surpass two weeks. They issue special forms, which need to be submitted and students must do this before the final deadline.

It begins when the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board issues the form. It ends, and it’s very important, at the moment when the university or college of your choice starts the screening. It means that basically, the deadline depends on the institution of your choice.
