Form Five Selection 2026: Deadline, Process & TAMISEMI Course Change Instructions The Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office – TAMISEMI, Prof. Riziki Shemdoe, has officially announced the launch of the 2026 exercise allowing students to change their Form Five subject combinations and middle-level college courses. This opportunity is specifically for students who completed Form Four in 2025.
The exercise began on April 11, 2026, and will officially close on May 10, 2026. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this limited window to review and adjust their academic choices based on their performance and future career goals.
Official Announcement in Dodoma
The announcement was made in Dodoma, where Prof. Shemdoe addressed the public regarding the importance of this exercise. He highlighted that students can now make changes easily through an online system designed to simplify the selection process.
This system, known as the Student Selection Management Information System (MIS), enables Form Four graduates to update their subject combinations and college course preferences without needing to visit physical offices.
How to Change Subject Combinations and Courses
To make changes, students must log into the official selection platform and follow the required steps. It is important to ensure that all updates reflect the student’s academic performance and long-term aspirations.
Before making any changes, Prof. Shemdoe strongly advised students, parents, and guardians to consult thoroughly and seek professional or academic guidance. Making informed decisions at this stage can significantly impact future education and career paths.
Important Deadline and Selection Process
Students must complete all changes before May 10, 2026. This deadline is strictly enforced to allow the selection and placement process for schools and colleges to proceed smoothly.
Once the official selection results for Form Five and colleges are released, no further changes will be permitted. Students who fail to update their choices within the deadline will have to proceed with their initial selections.
Free Service and Support Channels
The government has clarified that the process of changing subject combinations and courses is completely free of charge. Students should be cautious of any individuals or platforms requesting payment for this service.
For assistance, students can contact the TAMISEMI support team via email at [email protected] or call +255 262 160 210 or +255 735 160 210 for direct support.
Additional Help for Students and Parents
In addition to online support, students, parents, and guardians are encouraged to visit Regional or Council Education Offices for further clarification and guidance.
This exercise provides a crucial opportunity for students to align their academic paths with their performance and career ambitions. Taking the time to carefully review and update selections can make a significant difference in future success.
