Can I Change Course After EBSU Post UTME Registration? What Candidates Should Know
Many candidates who applied for Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki are now asking one important question:
Can I change course after EBSU Post UTME registration?
This question is very important, especially for candidates who later discovered that their JAMB score may not be enough for their chosen course.
Some students registered for courses like Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, Law, Medical Laboratory Science, Computer Science, or Mass Communication, but after checking the departmental cut-off mark, they became worried.
If you are in this situation, do not panic. This article will explain what you should know about changing course, why your JAMB score matters, and what you should do if your score is not enough for your first choice course.

Why Candidates Think About Changing Course
Many candidates think about changing course because their JAMB score may not match the course they selected.
For example, a candidate may choose Medicine and Surgery but later discover that the approved minimum score for Medicine is higher than their JAMB score.
Another candidate may choose Nursing Science, Law, or Medical Laboratory Science, but their score may not reach the departmental cut-off mark.
When this happens, the candidate may start asking:
Can I change my course?
Can EBSU give me another course?
Should I still register for Post UTME?
Will I lose admission if I remain in my first course?
These are normal questions, and it is better to ask them early than to wait until admission has already started.
General Cut-Off Mark Is Not the Same as Departmental Cut-Off Mark
One mistake candidates make is thinking that once they score 150, they can apply for any course in EBSU.
The general EBSU cut-off mark for 2026/2027 is 150, but some courses have higher departmental cut-off marks.
This means a candidate may be eligible to apply to EBSU generally, but may not be strong enough for some competitive courses.
For example, courses like Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, Law, Medical Laboratory Science, Mass Communication, and Computer Science have higher requirements than many other courses.
So before you insist on a course, check if your JAMB score can match it.
Can You Change Course After EBSU Post UTME Registration?
In some cases, candidates may need to change course if their score is not enough for their chosen department.
However, course change is not something you should do carelessly.
Before changing course, make sure you understand:
Your JAMB score
Your current course cut-off mark
The course you want to change to
The O’Level subject combination for the new course
Whether the course accepts your subject combination
Whether the school portal or JAMB portal allows the change at that time
Changing course without checking these things can create another problem.
If you are confused, ask questions before making any move. You can contact Studentsdash through t.me/studentsdash or 07075012541 for guidance.
Should You Change Course If Your Score Is Low?
If your JAMB score is below the cut-off mark for your chosen course, changing to another course may be a better option.
For example, if your score is not enough for Medicine, you may need to consider another course under a related faculty or another department where your score gives you a better chance.
If your score is not enough for Nursing, Law, or Medical Laboratory Science, it may also be wise to check other courses with lower cut-off marks.
The goal is not just to choose a big course. The goal is to choose a course where you have a real chance of gaining admission.
Do not allow pride to make you lose admission.
Do Not Change to Any Course Without Checking O’Level Combination
This is very important.
Even if your JAMB score is enough for another course, your O’Level subject combination must also match that course.
For example, some courses require certain subjects like English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Government, Literature, Economics, or other related subjects.
If you change to a course that does not match your O’Level result, your admission may still be affected.
So before changing course, check both your JAMB score and your O’Level result.
If you are not sure whether your result fits a course, ask for help first.
Can EBSU Give You Another Course?
Sometimes, during admission processing, a school may consider candidates for another course if they do not meet the requirement for their first choice.
This does not happen for everyone, and candidates should not depend on it without staying updated.
If you are offered another course on JAMB CAPS, you need to understand the course before accepting or rejecting it.
Do not rush to reject a course because it is not your first choice.
Also, do not rush to accept if you do not want the course.
Ask questions, check the course, and make sure you are comfortable with the decision.
What If You Already Registered With the Wrong Course?
If you already registered for EBSU Post UTME and later noticed that your course may not match your score, do not panic immediately.
First, check the official cut-off mark for your course.
Then check your O’Level result and subject combination.
After that, find out whether correction or course change is possible through the required portal.
Do not just start making changes without proper guidance.
Also, do not pay random people who claim they can change everything for you or guarantee admission.
If you need guidance, you can contact Studentsdash through t.me/studentsdash or 07075012541.
What Candidates With Low Scores Should Do
If your JAMB score is low, here are some things you should do:
Check the EBSU general cut-off mark.
Check the departmental cut-off mark for your course.
Compare your score with the course requirement.
Check your O’Level subject combination.
Consider another course if your score is not enough.
Avoid fake admission agents.
Follow trusted admission updates.
Ask questions before changing course.
Do not wait until admission list is out before you start looking for solutions.
Should You Still Buy EBSU Post UTME Form?
If you scored 150 and above, you can apply for EBSU Post UTME, depending on your course and eligibility.
But before buying the form or submitting your details, make sure you understand your course requirement.
If your score is not enough for your first course, you may need to think carefully before registering with that course.
It is better to register correctly than to rush and later regret it.
Avoid Fake Course Change Agents
During admission season, some people may claim they can help candidates change course or guarantee admission.
Be careful.
Do not give your JAMB details, portal login, or money to random people.
Course change and admission decisions should be handled carefully.
Use trusted CBT centres, official portals, and trusted student update platforms.
