Encountering the message “Sorry You Have Not Been Given Admission Yet” implies that you have not received provisional admission for the current academic year.

Reasons for the Status

• Not Yet on Batch Admission Lists: Your application might not be included in the released batches, and your admission could be deferred to a subsequent list.
• Awaiting O’Level Results: If O’Level results are pending or not uploaded, it can impact your admission status as institutions often require complete and valid results.
• Institution Yet to Release Admission List: The institution you selected may not have released its admission list at the time of checking.
• Admission Criteria Not Met: If none of the above reasons apply, it could mean your application did not meet the institution’s specific admission criteria.

What to Do Next:

• Be Patient: If the institution hasn’t released or submitted its admission list, be patient as the process may take time.
• Check Regularly: Continuously monitor the admission portal and JAMB CAPS for updates, as admission statuses can change with new lists or decisions.
• Upload Required Documents: If awaiting O’Level results, promptly upload them to enhance your chances of admission.
• Consider Alternatives: Explore supplementary applications or other institutions with available admission slots while waiting for your desired institution’s list.
