• Select the correction type (e.g., Change of Name)
• Make payment (₦2,500) via Remita or card
• Fill the correction form and upload supporting documents
• Submit and print your correction slip

✅ JAMB Correction of Data Deadline

The correction portal is usually available from the end of UTME registration to a few weeks after the exam results are released. Dates vary each year, so check the JAMB portal regularly or subscribe to updates.

✅ How Long Does It Take for JAMB Change of Name to Reflect?

Name changes typically reflect within 3–7 working days after successful submission and approval. You can monitor your profile regularly to confirm the update.

✅ How Long Does It Take for JAMB Change of State of Origin to Reflect?

State or LGA of Origin corrections usually take 5–10 working days depending on server load and verification status.

✅ JAMB Portal Login

To log into your JAMB profile, visit https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/ and use your email and password created during registration.

✅ JAMB Rejected My Change of Name

If your change of name request is rejected, it may be due to mismatched documents, incorrect uploads, or suspicious alterations. Ensure:

• Your affidavit is signed by a court
• You upload a valid birth certificate or declaration of age
• Your name on NIN matches the name you’re correcting to

✅ Can I Correct My JAMB Name After Admission?

Yes, but it is more complicated. You must contact both your school’s admission office and JAMB support. Correction is possible but might delay NYSC or final clearance, so it’s better to fix issues before admission processing begins.
