Question 1

What is the highest score possible in UTME?

Accepted Answer

400. You write four subjects — Use of English plus three others — and each is scored out of 100.

Question 2

Can I change my course or institution after registering?

Accepted Answer

Yes, JAMB opens a change of course and institution window on its e-facility portal. A fee applies; check JAMB’s current notice for dates.

Question 3

What does CAPS stand for and how do I access it?

Accepted Answer

Central Admissions Processing System. Log in to your JAMB profile at efacility.jamb.gov.ng, select your exam year, and click Check Admission Status / CAPS.

Question 4

Can I combine two O’Level results (WAEC and NECO)?

Accepted Answer

Most courses allow two sittings, but some competitive programmes (like Medicine at certain institutions) accept only one sitting. Always verify your course requirements before registering.

Question 5

How are Post-UTME aggregate scores calculated?

Accepted Answer

Each institution uses its own formula: some split UTME (50%) and Post-UTME screening (50%), while others factor in O’Level grades. Use our Fit Matcher to see individual school requirements.
