Gaining admission into a prestigious university like Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka is a dream for thousands of Nigerian students every year. However, one of the most crucial steps that can make or break that dream is the uploading of O’Level results on the admission portal. UNIZIK has recently issued an important notice to all admission seekers, and it is something every candidate must take seriously.
In this article, we will break down the notice, explain why uploading your O’Level results is compulsory, guide you through the process, and highlight the consequences of missing the deadline.
📢 The Official Notice from UNIZIK
The University has reminded all candidates who applied for admission into UNIZIK but have not yet uploaded their O’Level results to do so without delay.
- Deadline: Friday, 19th September 2025, by 6:00 p.m.
- Reason: To enable the university to process all applications on time and ensure candidates are considered fairly in the admission exercise.
This announcement is a reminder that admission is not just about scoring high in JAMB or Post-UTME — your O’Level result is the bedrock of your eligibility. Without it, you simply cannot be offered admission, no matter your JAMB score.
🎓 Why Uploading O’Level Results is Important
Many candidates underestimate the role of O’Level results in the admission process. Let’s explain why this step is non-negotiable:
- It Confirms Eligibility
Each course has specific subject requirements (e.g., Medicine requires English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology). If your O’Level results are not uploaded, the system cannot verify your eligibility. - JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS)
JAMB’s CAPS, which processes admissions for all universities, relies heavily on your O’Level upload. If your results are missing, CAPS cannot match your JAMB score with your O’Level subjects — meaning your name won’t appear on admission lists. - Fairness in Selection
To ensure merit-based admission, UNIZIK must have every candidate’s O’Level results on record. Without it, your application is considered incomplete. - Preventing Disqualification
Imagine scoring 300 in JAMB but losing admission simply because you failed to upload your results. Sadly, this happens every year, and this notice is to prevent such avoidable disqualification.
📝 Step-by-Step Guide: How to Upload Your O’Level Results
If you haven’t uploaded your results yet, follow these steps carefully:
Step 1: Visit a JAMB CBT Centre or Accredited Cyber Café
- The O’Level upload is not done directly on the UNIZIK portal; it is primarily handled through JAMB’s CAPS system.
- Go to a JAMB-accredited centre with your O’Level printout (WAEC, NECO, or GCE).
Step 2: Provide Your JAMB Profile Code
- The operator will log into your JAMB profile using your email and profile code.
Step 3: Upload Your O’Level Results
- Hand over your original or printed result slip for scanning.
- Ensure all subjects and grades are clear and visible.
Step 4: Confirmation
- After uploading, request a screenshot or printout showing your O’Level has been successfully uploaded.
- Log in to your JAMB CAPS portal later to confirm the update.
Step 5: Check UNIZIK Portal (if required)
- Some schools also request that you upload on their internal portal. Revisit the UNIZIK admission portal to be sure you’re not missing an extra step.
⚠️ Consequences of Not Uploading Before the Deadline
Failure to upload your O’Level result before 19th September 2025, by 6:00 p.m. will have serious consequences:
- You will not be considered for admission at all.
- Your JAMB score and Post-UTME performance will not count.
- Even if your name is shortlisted, JAMB will not approve the admission on CAPS.
- You might lose the entire admission year and be forced to wait until the next UTME cycle.
Simply put: No O’Level upload, no admission.
🔎 Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Uploading an Incomplete Result
- Ensure that all your subjects and grades are included. Don’t upload a result with missing papers.
- Wrong or Unverified Centres
- Only use accredited JAMB CBT centres to avoid errors.
- Uploading After the Deadline
- Even if you upload later, once the admission process begins, late entries are often ignored.
- Not Confirming Upload
- Many candidates assume their results were uploaded only to find out later that nothing was done. Always confirm!
📌 Final Advice to UNIZIK Admission Seekers
This notice is not just a reminder; it’s a lifeline. Candidates who fail to act on time may automatically lose their admission chances, no matter how qualified they are.
If you’re yet to upload your O’Level results:
- Visit a JAMB-accredited centre immediately.
- Confirm your upload both on CAPS and UNIZIK’s portal.
- Don’t wait until the last day to avoid technical issues or overcrowding at centres.
Remember, admission into UNIZIK is highly competitive. Securing your spot requires responsibility, attention to deadlines, and compliance with simple instructions like this.
✅ Conclusion
The UNIZIK notice on uploading O’Level results is a critical step in the 2025/2026 admission process. Every candidate must take it seriously, act quickly, and avoid procrastination. A simple action like this could be the difference between gaining admission into UNIZIK this year or starting the whole process again next year.
Stay alert, stay informed, and don’t miss this golden opportunity.
