After the JAMB Change of Course & Institution,

I get many questions from students who recently did a JAMB Change of Course or Institution about their inability to register for their post-UTME examinations at their institution of choice.

It would take a few days to about a week for the changes you have made on the JAMB portal to reflect on your profile and register you for the post-UTME screening.

The good news is that Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education in Nigeria would always ensure that all students can register for their screening exercise.
