As the 2025 admission season progresses, many candidates who made changes to their courses or programmes are eagerly checking their JAMB portal for updates.
One concern raised today, like from Praise Racheal, is that after applying for a Change of Programme last month,
the changes are still not reflecting on the JAMB portal, and she urgently needs the new admission letter to complete her Direct Entry registration.
Here’s what you need to know and what to do.

Why Your Change of Programme May Not Reflect Yet
Normally, after you submit a Change of Programme or Change of Institution request on the JAMB portal, it does not update immediately.
Some reasons why it may take time include:
- The institution you switched to must first accept and approve your new course on CAPS.
- JAMB must also verify and update your record based on the new approval.
- If the school has not sent full details to JAMB, your profile may still show the old programme until they do.
In some cases, updates can take a few weeks to show, especially if the school is slow to process internal approvals.

What You Should Do Now
If you urgently need your new JAMB admission letter for Direct Entry, here’s what you should do:
- Contact the admission office of the institution where you made the change. Ask if they have updated your record with JAMB.
- Keep checking your JAMB CAPS portal regularly to see if the new programme has reflected.
- If nothing changes after about two more weeks, visit a JAMB office directly to lodge a complaint. They can manually help you check if there is any delay or issue.
Also remember:
Sometimes, candidates must accept the admission again on CAPS after a programme change before the new admission letter can be printed.
Final Note
Praise and other candidates should stay calm.
It is common for change of course or programme updates to take some time to reflect on the JAMB portal.
But if your case is urgent because of Direct Entry registration deadlines, it is important to actively follow up with your institution and JAMB.
Stay focused and follow only the official procedures to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
