REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO DO JAMB CHANGE OF COURSE/INSTITUTION

See reasons why you need to consider JAMB change of course or institution.

1. LOW OR HIGH JAMB SCORE

The dream of anyone who writes an exam is to come out with the desired result and expectation, which is the case of the JAMB exam.

It is always to score above 290. However, not every candidate eventually meets up this expectation.

However, this may deter them or dash away from their hopes of getting admitted into their school of choice as a result of high competition.

This is why candidates who scored less than the cut-off mark of their first choice institution need to consider buying the change of course form.

On the other hand, if you actually score more than your expected proposed mark in JAMB, you may consider changing your course to a better one if you don’t really like the one you chose initially.

2. LOSS OF INTEREST IN THE COURSE OR INSTITUTION

Another major reason why most aspirants consider a change of course or institution is because of a sudden loss of interest

These might be a factor of many reasons like some student may say, “I don’t like the school again because cultism has suddenly become rampant their in recent days” some will say “Lecturers over there are too demanding” while some will say that the standard is too low compared to when he chose them initially.

This may also be because you score a higher mark in your JAMB exam, which you think may earn you a better chance in a better institution even with the same course or after changing.

3. SUDDEN INCREASE IN SCHOOL FEES.

Aspirants most times choose a particular institution as a result of how minimal their school fees are.

But in a situation where the institution suddenly increases their school fee, and you know you can actually get to enter another institution with your JAMB score to study the same course, then you need to consider a change of institution.

4. ERROR WHILE REGISTERING

The last reason you need to consider changing your course or institution may be because of some minor but costly errors you made in the registration process.

Some of these errors may include; input of the wrong institution, entering of wrong JAMB combinations for your course.

Therefore, if you were unable to correct these errors before the portal closed, you need to consider a change of course/institution to increase your chance of getting admitted this year.

IS CHANGE OF COURSE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO?

Some students are always very scared as to whether the change, of course, may negatively impact their hope of getting admission.

Well, I can tell you with all assurance that the change of course or institution is as easy as pie.
