The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has begun the process for candidates who want to change their institution or programme after the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. JAMB said the portal for correction of data is now active for eligible candidates.
Candidates who want to make the jamb utme 2026 institution change can now do so by visiting any of the board’s approved CBT centres. JAMB said the changes should be completed only at accredited Computer-Based Test centres to ensure proper processing and avoid errors.
That instruction matters because the change window is being opened alongside the next step in the UTME process. JAMB said the printing of the original 2026 UTME result slip will begin on Monday, May 18, 2026.
The board’s message is clear: candidates may now modify their choice of institution or programme, but they must do it through approved channels. The portal was opened for those seeking a post-UTME change of choice, and the board has tied the process to accredited CBT centres to keep the data correct.
For candidates, the practical next step is immediate. Those eligible can proceed to the approved centres now, while the result slip printing starts on Monday, 18th May, 2026. That leaves no doubt about what JAMB wants done first and how it expects it to be done.
