How UNIMAID Compiled the Final Admission List
UNIMAID followed a structured process guided by federal regulations and the university’s internal admission policies. The steps leading to the final list included:
1. Verification of JAMB Scores and Subject Combinations
Each candidate’s UTME result was matched against the departmental subject requirements. Applicants with incorrect combinations or scores below the departmental cut-off were automatically screened out.
2. Review of O’level Grades
The university assessed the candidate’s WAEC/NECO/NABTEB results to ensure the required grades were obtained in relevant subjects.
3. Departmental Evaluations
Every faculty examined applications based on programme-specific standards. For competitive programmes such as Medicine, Nursing, Law, and Engineering, only top-performing applicants with excellent grades made the final selection.
4. Confirmation Through JAMB CAPS
All names on the final PDF list correspond to the approved records on the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). This ensures consistency and prevents errors or fraudulent entries.
5. Final Cross-Checking and Publication
The admissions board reviewed the compiled list once more before releasing it publicly in PDF format.
