Frequently asked questions
I scored above the cut-off but I’m not admitted yet. Why?
Uploads happen in batches, and places are also limited by quotas. Keep checking CAPS and make sure your O’Level is uploaded on the JAMB portal.
Does UI publish a PDF admission list?
UI mainly communicates admission through JAMB CAPS and its admission portal. Rely on those rather than lists shared on social media.
