The management of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) has released an important notice to some candidates who applied for admission into the institution for the 2025/2026 academic session.

According to the official statement released by the University, a list of candidates who need to make immediate corrections or changes to their programmes of choice on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) CAPS portal has been published.

These affected candidates are urgently required to visit their JAMB profiles, access the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), and effect the appropriate changes in their course or programme of choice to be considered for admission into the University.

Access to the List of Affected Candidates

The University management has made the list of affected candidates available on the official FUTO website. Applicants are therefore advised to check their names promptly and take the necessary action as instructed.

The notice emphasized that failure to make the required changes on JAMB CAPS within the specified period may automatically disqualify the candidates from being considered for admission for the 2025/2026 academic session.

To view the list, candidates should visit the FUTO official website through the link provided in the notice or directly access the page containing the affected names.

Steps for Affected Candidates

Candidates whose names appear on the list are to take the following steps immediately:

1. Log in to your JAMB Profile at https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng.

2. Access your CAPS dashboard.

3. Click on “Change of Course/Programme” under the available options.

4. Select the appropriate course or programme as directed by FUTO’s admission office.

5. Save and confirm the changes.

6. Print out the acknowledgment slip as evidence of the correction.

After completing the above process, candidates are strongly advised to regularly check their CAPS status to monitor any updates or offers of admission from the University.

Reason for the Notice

The Federal University of Technology, Owerri explained that the notice became necessary following a review of candidates’ applications and programme choices. Some applicants were found to have chosen courses that are not fully aligned with their UTME subject combinations or available admission slots.

By issuing this notice, the University aims to ensure that all eligible applicants are properly aligned with programmes that match their qualifications and subject requirements — thus enhancing their chances of gaining admission.

The management also reiterated its commitment to maintaining transparency and fairness in the admission process, emphasizing that the exercise is strictly in compliance with JAMB’s admission guidelines.

Official Advisory

The University authorities have cautioned candidates against seeking assistance from unauthorized persons or third parties when making the required changes. All candidates are to carry out the corrections personally through their JAMB profile or visit an accredited JAMB CBT Centre for assistance.

In addition, candidates are urged to verify all details carefully before submitting their changes to avoid any errors that could affect their admission chances.

Reminder to Other Applicants

While this notice specifically concerns those whose names appear on the list published by FUTO, the University also encouraged all other 2025/2026 Post-UTME candidates to regularly check their admission status both on the FUTO Admission Portal and on JAMB CAPS.

Applicants who have not yet uploaded their O’Level results on JAMB CAPS are also reminded to do so immediately, as failure to upload the required results could result in the forfeiture of their admission chances — even if they meet the necessary cut-off marks.
