Candidates who checked their FUTO 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening results and found a zero (0) O'Level score have been given clarity on why this happened, along with guidance on what to do next.

According to information circulating among affected candidates, the issue traces back to how and when O'Level results were uploaded on JAMB CAPS.

Why the Score Shows Zero

FUTO reportedly downloaded O'Level results available on JAMB CAPS on August 18. This means candidates fall into the affected category if they:

  • Did not upload their O'Level result before August 17,
  • Uploaded it after August 17, or
  • Did not upload it at all.

In addition, some candidates uploaded their results but failed to log back into JAMB CAPS to confirm that the update had reflected properly, resulting in the result not being captured before the download date.

Nothing Can Be Done About This Result

Candidates affected by this issue have been informed that there is currently no way to correct or change the current screening score. As a result, such candidates should not expect to be considered for merit-based admission using this screening result.

What Affected Candidates Should Do

The only viable path forward for affected candidates is to wait for supplementary admission, where a fresh opportunity to be considered may arise.

Candidates have also been strongly advised to treat this as a lesson and ensure their O'Level results are properly uploaded and confirmed on JAMB CAPS ahead of the supplementary admission exercise, to avoid a repeat of the same mistake — which could mean having to sit for JAMB again next year.

Key Takeaway for Candidates

  • Always upload O'Level results on JAMB CAPS before the stated deadline.
  • After uploading, log back in to confirm that the result has been captured and reflected correctly.
  • Candidates with a zero O'Level score in their current screening result should focus on the supplementary admission window rather than the ongoing merit list.

Candidates are advised to stay alert for further updates regarding the supplementary admission process.
