This the very reason you need to change your course and institution.

1. You scored below the aggregate cut-off mark of your institution

This is also the number one reasons why candidates need to change his or her  institution.

Many students usually say after they had written JAMB that “I don’t like to study this course or in the institution I chose during JAMB registration” due to one facility or the others which the school doesn’t offer or have.

In fact, you may like the school and your parents can ask you to change it while you might had a score that can grant you admission.

In this reason, candidates got asked as quick as speed of light during his or her registration, so he or she might have done mistakes and mentioned wrong name to the moderator (JAMB agent).
