Do you know that after completing JAMB registration, some candidates later realize that they selected the wrong subject combination for their desired course? Given that most institutions in Nigeria have strict UTME subject requirements for every course, a wrong combination can render a candidate ineligible for admission despite having excellent scores.
JAMB has made it possible to amend subject combinations through its official Data Correction process, allowing candidates to rectify this mistake before it affects their admission chances. It is important to handle this correction quickly because JAMB only opens the data correction window for a limited time. Candidates must log into their JAMB profile, pay the stipulated correction fee, and visit an accredited CBT center to effect the changes.
In this article, we will guide you step-by-step on how to change your JAMB subject combination for 2025, ensuring the process is smooth and straightforward. Keep reading to learn how to make the necessary changes before the deadline, so you’re fully prepared for the exam.
What is the Cost of Changing JAMB Subject Combination After Registration?
Candidates who made wrong subject combination choices in JAMB and now want to change the subjects are allowed to do so only if the portal is open for corrections/changes. For the 2025 year, the cost of changing JAMB Subject Combination after registration is ₦2,500. This fee is applicable for corrections such as a change of course, institution, name, date of birth, gender, and state or local government area of origin.
It is important to note that while the official fee is ₦2,500, accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers may charge an additional service fee, typically around ₦200, for processing the change.
Ways You Can Change JAMB Subject Combination After Registration
Here are the main ways you can change your JAMB subject combination after registration in 2025:
Through the JAMB e-Facility Portal

Through the JAMB Office
- You can visit the nearest JAMB State Office.
- Staff there will assist you with your subject combination change.
- Payment will still be made online, but they will guide you through the process if you are encountering any issues.
Self-Service at JAMB-Approved Kiosks
- Some JAMB offices and tertiary institutions now provide self-service kiosks where you can independently log in and carry out corrections under minimal supervision.
- This method can be faster and cost-effective if you’re familiar with online processes.
Additional Notes
- You must make these changes within the correction window allowed by JAMB.
- You can only edit your subject combination once JAMB does not allow multiple corrections for the same detail.
- Always ensure your new subject combination aligns with the requirements of your intended course and institution.
Ensure that you complete the process of changing your JAMB subject combination before the official deadline. JAMB will announce the deadline for making changes, so make sure you stick to it.
If you fail to complete the change before the deadline, you may not be able to modify your subject combination anymore. As a result, you will have to proceed with the subjects you originally selected, which may not align with your desired course of study. So, act quickly and make sure to finalize your subject combination change in time.
Conclusion
Changes/corrections must be made within the official correction window, and candidates are advised to carefully confirm that their new subject combinations meet their chosen course requirements, as corrections can only be made once.
