@FabianB58246501 Thousands of students are affected by this problem and deserve clear communication. If there is a technical issue, kindly inform the public and let us know when it will be resolved. Keeping candidates in the dark is unfair and unnecessary.
@FabianB58246501 We have been complaining for days about the issue with change of course and institution, yet there has been no official response from JAMB. Instead of addressing the concerns of candidates and providing an explanation, you keep posting unrelated information.
@JAMBHQ@FabianB58246501 With these delays, many candidates risk missing important deadlines through no fault of their own.
Please, what exactly is going on? Candidates deserve transparency, timely communication, and a clear resolution plan. We deserve to know.
@JAMBHQ@FabianB58246501
JAMB, I do not understand why an organized body would toy with the future of young and bright candidates. For over five days now, the Change of Course and Institution portal has not been working, yet there has been no formal explanation from JAMB
@JAMBHQ@FabianB58246501 Many institutions are already selling screening forms, and deadlines are fast approaching. JAMB is fully aware that after a Change of Course or Institution is successfully processed, it takes time for the update to reflect on the institution's portal before candidate can register
@JAMBHQ@FabianB58246501 Every day, candidates troop to CBT centres hoping to effect changes to their courses or institutions, only to be turned back with the same response: "No network for Change of Course and Institution." This has continued for several days without any clear communication.
@JAMBHQ@FabianB58246501 Candidates, parents, and education consultants have all been left in the dark.
Why can't JAMB come out publicly to explain what the problem is and provide an estimated timeline for its resolution?
@JAMBHQ Plesse what's going on with change of course and institution, since Friday last week, change of course and institution is not going through, please look into this as deadline for post utme registration is fast approaching
Good day, UTME candidates. Tomorrow, Monday, 11th May, is a significant day as the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will hold its 2026 Policy Meeting, to be chaired by the Honourable Minister of Education.
At the meeting, guidelines for the 2026 admission exercise into all tertiary institutions in Nigeria will be considered and adopted, including the determination of the minimum tolerable scores for admissions.
This year’s meeting will also witness the participation of the Deputy Minister of Education of Sierra Leone, Mr Sarjoh Aziz Kamara, alongside two Vice-Chancellors from Sierra Leonean universities: Prof. Edwin Momoh, Vice-Chancellor of Ernest Bai Koroma University of Science and Technology, and Prof. Bashiru Koroma, Vice-Chancellor of Njala University. They are in Nigeria to understudy the nation’s centralised admission system as Sierra Leone plans to establish a body similar to JAMB to streamline its own admission process.
The delegation was today taken through the examination and admission processes at the Board’s headquarters in Bwari. During tomorrow’s Policy Meeting, they will also witness firsthand how critical stakeholders are actively carried along in the admission value chain.
The Sierra Leonean delegation expressed profound appreciation to the Board, noting that the increasing admission population in their country has posed serious challenges and that the Nigerian model offers practical solutions to issues they had long sought to address.
Indeed, one can only imagine what Nigeria’s admission system would have looked like without JAMB. Those clamouring for the scrapping of the Board may better appreciate its strategic importance should such a situation ever arise.
