Made a Mistake During JAMB Registration? Here\u2019s How to Fix It<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you noticed an error in your JAMB registration\u2014like a wrong name, birth date, passport photo, or course\u2014you don\u2019t need to panic. JAMB gives candidates the opportunity to correct most of these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s important to note that some corrections are only allowed once<\/strong>, so you should be careful when making changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What You Can Correct on the JAMB Portal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Name<\/strong>
    Mistakes in your surname, first name, or middle name can be corrected, but only once.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Date of Birth<\/strong>
    If your birth date was entered incorrectly, you have one opportunity to correct it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Passport Photograph<\/strong>
    Wrong passport uploaded? You are allowed to update your photo once.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Gender<\/strong>
    Gender corrections are allowed, but you may be required to provide supporting documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. State and Local Government Area (LGA)<\/strong>
    You can correct your state or LGA of origin if filled incorrectly. Some form of proof may be needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Profile Details<\/strong>
    You can change your registered email or phone number, but only once.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Course or Institution<\/strong>
    You are allowed to change your course or preferred school more than once, but a fee applies each time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    How Much Does JAMB Data Correction Cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Each correction, including name, date of birth, gender, state, LGA, course, or institution, costs \u20a63,500<\/strong>. This amount includes the service fee at the CBT centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n
