UTME 2024: JAMB Reveals Price for Change of Names
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) recently declared that candidates seeking to modify their names post-registration for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) would incur a fee of N2,500.
This announcement came in response to an inquiry from a candidate on Sunday, April 7, as revealed through a tweet by the examination board.
JAMB advised candidates to thoroughly consider their decisions before requesting a name alteration, emphasizing that such changes could only be made once.
How much is JAMB’s change of name?
In a recent interaction on Twitter, a candidate known as Kamdili raised a query regarding the cost of a name change.
Specifically, they inquired, “Please, how much does it cost for a change of name? The option is no longer on your portal, and I don’t want to have to go to your office twice.”
JAMB responded to Kamdili’s inquiry via a tweet, stating that the cost for a name change is #2,500.00. However, they also cautioned Kamdili to carefully consider their decision before proceeding, as JAMB does not endorse name corrections after registration.
#2,500.00 only, however, you're advised to weigh your options before applying as JAMB does not approve name correction after registration. https://t.co/3rNwOz9kVi
