How to Change a Wrongly Selected Course on LAUTECH Post‑UTME

If you picked the wrong course while registering for LAUTECH’s Post‑UTME, you can still fix it—but you’ll need to act fast and follow the official process.

1) Check if LAUTECH Has Opened a “Change of Course/Programme” Window

LAUTECH typically announces a short, time‑bound window (often just a few days) when candidates can change to another programme.

  • In recent sessions, the window has been open for 5 days (e.g., Mon–Fri in mid‑September).
  • The announcement is usually published on LAUTECH’s official site and admission portal.

What to do now:
Visit the official portal and any “Admissions” or “News” page to confirm whether the change‑of‑course window is currently open for your session.

  • Official portal: [https://apply.lautech.edu.ng9]

2) Understand the Two‑Step Requirement: JAMB + LAUTECH Portal

LAUTECH has consistently required both :

  1. Change of course on JAMB (via an accredited JAMB centre / JAMB CAPS), and
  2. Change of programme on LAUTECH’s portal with payment.

If you only do one side, your application may not be processed.

3) Step‑by‑Step: How to Correct a Wrong Course

Step 1 – Change Course on JAMB

  • Go to an accredited JAMB centre (or use JAMB’s official online services if available for your session).
  • Request a Change of Course/Institution.
  • Pay the required JAMB fee (varies by session; confirm at the centre).
  • Ensure the new course matches:
    • Your UTME subject combination , and
    • Your O’Level subject combination.

Tip: Keep your JAMB change confirmation slip/receipt; you may need it later.

Step 2 – Apply for Change of Programme on LAUTECH Portal

Once JAMB is updated:

  1. Go to: [https://apply.lautech.edu.ng9]
  1. Log in with your Post‑UTME/application credentials.
  2. Look for “Change of Programme” or “Change of Course” link (often under Admissions/Post‑UTME).
  1. Select your new course from the list of available programmes.
  1. Pay the non‑refundable fee online:
    • Recent sessions: ₦5,000 via Interswitch‑enabled debit card.
 * (Earlier sessions showed ₦2,500; always follow what the current portal displays.)
  1. Submit and print/save your confirmation.

Important: LAUTECH stresses that only changes made on both JAMB and the LAUTECH portal will be considered.

4) Eligibility & Key Conditions to Meet

Your change will only be valid if you satisfy LAUTECH’s conditions:

  • ✅ Correct UTME subject combination for the new course.
  • ✅ Correct O’Level subject combination (WAEC/NECO/etc.) for the new course.
  • ✅ Meet the minimum UTME score and the programme’s cut‑off mark set by LAUTECH.
  • ✅ Apply within the official deadline (late applications are usually not accepted).
  • ✅ For Health Sciences, some sessions have required UTME ≥ 200 for eligibility.

Also note: Submitting a change form does not guarantee admission ; it depends on slots and whether you meet all criteria.

5) What If the Portal Shows No “Change” Option?

If you don’t see any change‑of‑course option on the portal:

  • The window may not be open yet, or it may have closed.
  • In that case:
    • Monitor apply.lautech.edu.ng and LAUTECH’s official admissions/news pages closely.
* Watch for official announcements on social media or through your JAMB email/SMS.
  • Avoid using unofficial agents or paying anyone outside the official portal; LAUTECH has warned against this.

If the window is closed and you urgently need a different course, your options narrow to:

  • Waiting for the next admission cycle and reapplying with the correct course, or
  • Exploring other institutions that still admit for your desired course (via JAMB change of institution).

6) Common Mistakes People Make (So You Don’t)

  • ❌ Changing course on JAMB but not on LAUTECH portal (or vice versa).
  • ❌ Picking a course you don’t qualify for based on subjects or score.
  • ❌ Paying through unofficial channels or to “agents”.
  • ❌ Missing the short deadline (many windows last only 5 days).

7) Quick Checklist Before You Submit

Before you finalize:

  • New course matches your UTME subjects.
  • New course matches your O’Level subjects.
  • Your score meets the course cut‑off.
  • You’ve done JAMB change of course and have proof.
  • You’ve paid the LAUTECH change‑of‑programme fee on the official portal.
  • You’ve printed/saved all confirmations.

TL;DR

  • Confirm LAUTECH has opened its Change of Course/Programme window for your session.
  • Do JAMB change of course first at an accredited centre.
  • Then log in to apply.lautech.edu.ng , select the new course, pay the fee (recently ₦5,000), and submit.
  • Ensure you meet all subject and score requirements and act before the deadline.
