Can JAMB regularization be done twice?

Yes, JAMB regularization can be done more than once if necessary, but only under specific circumstances. Regularization is a process through which candidates without valid JAMB admission numbers or with discrepancies in their admission records can regularize their admission status with JAMB.

Why You Might Need Regularization Twice

1. Change of Institution or Course:
   • If you’ve previously regularized your admission but later transfer to another institution or change your course, you may need to undergo regularization again to update your records.
2. Errors in Previous Regularization:
   • If there was an error in your initial regularization (e.g., incorrect institution name, matriculation number, or admission year), you might need to redo the process to correct these mistakes.
3. Incomplete or Invalid Regularization:
   • If the first regularization was not completed or approved by JAMB, you may need to reapply.
4. New Admission Process:
   • If you are admitted to a higher-level program (e.g., Direct Entry or postgraduate studies), you might need to regularize your new admission.

Steps to Regularize Twice

1. Visit the JAMB Portal:
   • Log in to your profile on the official JAMB website (www.jamb.gov.ng).
2. Initiate a New Regularization Request:
   • Click on the “Late Application (Regularization)” option, and follow the steps to fill in your updated information.
3. Submit Required Documents:
   • Provide supporting documents, such as your admission letter, transcript, or other relevant information, depending on your institution’s requirements.
4. Pay the Regularization Fee:
   • A fee (currently ₦10,000) is required for each regularization process.
5. Institution and JAMB Approval:
   • Your institution and JAMB must approve the new regularization request.

Things to Note

• Double Fees: Each regularization request comes with a separate fee, so doing it twice means paying twice.
• Approval Time: Regularization can take weeks or months to process, so ensure your reasons for reapplying are valid.
• Contact JAMB: If you’re unsure whether re-regularization is necessary, consult JAMB officials or visit an accredited CBT center for clarification.

In summary, while JAMB regularization can be done more than once, ensure you have a valid reason and follow the correct procedure to avoid unnecessary delays or expenses.
