Can I change my course and institution after JAMB registration?

I registered for Medicine at a federal university but my mock score is not encouraging. Can I change the course and school before admission, or is the registration final?

Yes — change of course and change of institution are separate JAMB correction options, and both can usually be done after registration for a fee.

A few things to understand:

Change of course keeps the same institution and changes the programme.
Change of institution moves your application to another school. Some schools require you to have chosen them as first choice before they will screen you.
Your subject combination must still fit the new course. You cannot change to Engineering with a combination that excludes Physics.
Changing to a more competitive course does not create spaces; the departmental cut-off still applies.

Do not change institutions just because a friend says a school is "easier". Check that school's current cut-off, screening method and whether it accepts your subject combination first.

Usually one change is allowed per cycle for a given field, but the portal is the final authority. Check the correction page before paying.
