Summary of JAMB Caps Sensitization Programme

update(22/09/2017): There was a sensitization programme on JAMB

CAPS(21/09/2017). The next few lines will highlight the key points

from this programme.

Your UTME score won't be the only factor that influenceds your

admission. O'level result and Post UTME score might also be considered

by the school in question.

The Jamb cutoff mark of 2017 is not carved on stone. It's just the

general minimum for admission. Schools are free to set their general &

departmental cutoff mark. But it need not be lower than JAMB's.

Candidates must upload their O'level or A'level results before they'd

be considered for admission.
