The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that 2024 Direct Entry (DE) applicants can now change their institution or course. This important update was shared on JAMB’s official X handle (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, July 2nd 2024.
JAMB stated that the service for changing institutions or courses is now available for interested DE applicants. This new development is expected to help many students who need to adjust their choices for better opportunities or personal reasons.
Nigerians have reacted to this announcement on social media, seeking more information and expressing their concerns. One user, @BabatundeHawal, asked if the change can be done at any JAMB accredited center or if it must be at the headquarters. Another user, @HassanI99390588, inquired about how to apply for DE, while @Siramot25 wanted to know the cost of making such changes.
Several other users, like @Emmaszn_ and @perfectpresh, questioned when JAMB will start the conversion process from UTME to DE. In response to these queries, JAMB clarified that the conversion process has not yet started but will be announced soon.
The change of institution or course service is a significant step for DE applicants who need to realign their academic goals. It offers flexibility and ensures that students can make informed decisions about their education.

For example, @auwalumusa15905 asked about the fee for correcting the date of birth, and @Hadasah123 wanted to change a mistake on their printout. These questions highlight the importance of accessible and clear information from JAMB to assist applicants in making necessary changes smoothly.
