THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING A JAMB CHANGE OF COURSE FORM

1. Discover your interests: Before you applied for the course you want to change, you were convinced to study it. If you have lost the zeal for that course, then you should also make sure that you have a passion for the one you want to go for next.
2. Do not follow the crowd: If you want to study Nursing, go for it, don’t apply for Medicine/Surgery because all your friends want to be doctors. This is also an extension to finding your interests and passion. jamb result
3. Is it really worth it? This is a question you should ask yourself. Find out if the change of course is actually necessary or not.
4. Do your research: Do not go for a change of course if you have not gotten background information on the both courses- the former and the latter. Check if the course is in line with the subjects you wrote in your exam.
