β€οΈ STILL WAITING FOR ADMISSION?
Admission season can be stressful, especially when you see other candidates celebrating while you are still waiting.
Remember that each institution follows its own admission process, and updates do not reach every candidate at the same time.
While waiting, continue to:
- Check JAMB CAPS regularly.
- Monitor your university's admission portal.
- Check your registered email and SMS.
- Confirm that your O'Level results and required documents are correctly submitted.
