My Advice to Jambites
When I wrote JAMB years ago, I also made mistakes in my registration details. At first, I was scared that I might lose admission. But after aking some reserch, I found out that I could change it. that alone made me ver happy, thats the major reason I’m writing tghis article, to help stdents who might be in the same situation.
Don’t panic. If you notice any mistake in your registration or you need to change your course, just follow the steps above. It’s better to correct it now than to face problems during admission.
