JAMB Enables Correction of Data Portal

After a long wait, candidate who partook in the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination can now apply for correction of data via their e-facility page and complete application in the nearest JAMB Accredited CBT centre. 

Candidates of 2019/2020 and other previous years who have a cause or the other to alter an entry on their JAMB profile will still have to wait because the portal is not yet opened for them. 

Correction that can be done are of three categories, 

• Change of Course/Institution
• Change of State/LGA 
• Change of Name and Date of Birth 

You should note that a single payment cannot be used to effect more than one of the above changes, once a payment is used for one correction, say Change of course/Institution, to make another correction like change of name, you have to make another payment in order to do so. 

For candidate who want to change their institution. You should take note that you can't change into institutions that have already concluded their Post UTME exercise. In view of this, be sure your preferred institution's Post UTME form is still on sale or yet to be released before commencing application. 

Always note that Institutions will consider candidates who chose them as their First most preferred choice for admission before considering others who chose them as second or otherwise. Therefore, make sure your most preferred institution of choice is your first choice on your application slip and form.
