The cut-off point for the university is 200 marks and candidates that score below this mark are ineligible to participate in the screening exercise<\/p>\n<p>The screening exercise is also known as the Post UTME screening. The information on this post UTME screening can be found on the official University <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ui.edu.ng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, UI introduced the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) in collaborate with JAMB in order to make the admission process more seamless. CAPS is a system designed by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to automate the admissions process to tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n<p>This system introduces a number of innovations into the admission process. These include: opportunities for candidates to confirm provisional admissions thus eliminating multiple admission or ignorance about admission status.<\/p>\n<p>As a candidate, you should familiarize yourself with the process to enable easy checking and tracking of your admission status at any point in time on the JAMB portal.<\/p>\n<p>But before the CAPS is your post UTME screening exercise, you can check the University website from time to time in order to know the date for the screening. Also, you\u2019d need to take note of the necessary requirements so that your admission process won\u2019t be negatively affected.<\/p>\n<p>If you successfully scale through the post-UTME screening and you\u2019re offered admission, you can visit the CAPS website to accept your admission and proceed to pay the acceptance fee.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you\u2019re unable to scale through the process, you can change to another course if you satisfy the following requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019re a science student and you score an aggregate score of at least 60% you can apply for a change of course<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re an arts student with an aggregate score of 55% and you\u2019re yet to be offered admission in your course of first choice, you can also apply for a change of course<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is important that your aggregate score is not below the cut-off point of the course you intend to change to. You can log in to see the available courses that you can change to. You should note that there\u2019s a time window for candidates that want to change their course.<\/p>\n<h3>Overall, we\u2019ve compiled a list of guidelines you should take when applying to U.I:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure you fill the online forms carefully and correctly. A simple mistake can lead to your disqualification<\/li>\n<li>Always use your functional telephone number and e-mail to enable the University to reach you in the course of the Admission exercise.<\/li>\n<li>Always upload your passport photos and signatures in the JPEG format. These photos must be on white background without cap, glasses, or headgear.<\/li>\n<li>Submit your original documents.

The full-time candidates should be unemployed while the part-time students are allowed to work as long as they can show evidence of their employers` release.<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s another option of being admitted as an occasional student. In this case, candidates must satisfy the entry requirements for the degree program, and the Faculty Postgraduate Committee recommends you, then you may be admitted as an occasional student. Occasional students don\u2019t receive a degree certificate from the University of Ibadan at the end of their program.<\/li>\n<li>All candidates must be graduates of the University of Ibadan or any other institutions recognized by the Senate. The Postgraduate School is responsible for making the admission decision based on the recommendation of the Faculty Postgraduate Committee.<\/li>\n<li>If a candidate has no previous higher degrees in the appropriate discipline, s\/he may be admitted to either the Professional Degree of Master or the Degree of Master.<\/li>\n<li>All candidates who own recognized research higher degree in the relevant discipline are admitted to the M.Phil or Ph.D degree programs.<\/li>\n<li>The letters of recommendation or Referee\u2019s Reports are very important in admission process. Applicants that fails to provide the required documents, (transcripts, referees report, etc) may jeopardize their admission chances.<\/li>\n<li>Some postgraduate programmes require an oral interview prior to the admission decision being made. Usually, the Postgraduate School\u2019s Admission Office will arrange for such interviews in collaboration with the relevant departments.<\/li>\n<li>More information on the University of Ibadan Postgraduate admission requirements can be found on the University website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Ibadan (U.I) is a popular choice among prospective university applicants and one of the questions often asked &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"University of Ibadan Admission Process\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/university-of-ibadan-admission-process\/#more-282097\" aria-label=\"More on University of Ibadan Admission Process\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/UI.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6w1sx-1bnX","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282097"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282097"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282097\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":282098,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282097\/revisions\/282098"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
