Breaking: Jamb cut off mark for 2021 Released (University, Polytechnic & Colleges)

For one or two reasons, you would want to change the institution or course of study you filled in Jamb 2020/2021 registration form.

If this is true, then you are not alone. Right now, Jamb is even telling candidates to do a change of institution. Below are other major reasons why Jamb change, of course, is necessary.

Reasons To Apply For Jamb Change Of Institution In 2020

1. Not Scoring Up To Or More Than Jamb Cut Off Mark:

Every Jamb candidate usually has the dream of scoring above 300. However, this doesn’t work for everybody in reality. If you scored less than the general cut off mark for your school of choice, you will not be admitted.

On the other hand, If you score around the Jamb cut off mark, you may also not get admitted as a result of competition. This is a good reason to change your course or school of choice.

2. Lost Of Interest In The Study Course Or Institution:

Some candidates say, “I don’t want to study in the University I chose earlier, in fact, I have lost interest in the choice, of course, I put in during Jamb registration.”


This could be that you never liked the school or your parents asked you to change the course. In addition, it could just be that you have a Jamb score that can take you to a better school.


3. You Made A Mistake When Filling Jamb Form And Subject Combinations:

So many persons reported to me that the wrong institution was chosen for them during registration.

For others, they had issues in their Jamb subject combinations and could not fix it when Jamb gave room for correction of details.

If this is the situation you may want to change to your desired institution. Change of course and institution form gives you room to do this.
