Why This Matters

  • FUTMINNA verifies your O'Level claims through JAMB CAPS
  • Applications without uploaded results may be rejected
  • You cannot gain admission if results aren't on JAMB

What to Do

If your O'Level results aren't on JAMB CAPS:

  1. Visit any JAMB-accredited CBT centre immediately
  2. Bring your O'Level scratch card or certificate
  3. Pay the verification fee (typically around ₦500-₦1,000)
  4. Allow the centre staff to upload your results
  5. Verify the upload was successful before leaving

Change of Course Option

FUTMINNA offers flexibility for candidates with subject combination issues:

If you meet the minimum score but lack proper subject combinations, you may be allowed to change to a course that matches your subjects.

Example Scenarios

  • Scored 180 but took Arts subjects → Can change from Engineering to Arts program
  • Good JAMB score but missing required O'Level subject → Switch to compatible department

Contact FUTMINNA admissions office if you need guidance on changing courses.
