Your combined score might be too low for Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), and the change of course may not have been successful yet. For admission, a 174 JAMB score combined with a 36% Post-UTME score is likely insufficient, as OOU's cut-off marks, particularly for Business Administration and possibly Business Education, are competitive. You need to check if the change of course reflects on your JAMB CAPS portal and if OOU has accepted the transfer.
What to do next
Check your JAMB CAPS status: Log in to your JAMB CAPS account to confirm that the change of course to Business Education is visible. Your status may still be "Admission in Progress" if the change is being processed or if you haven't been selected yet.
Contact OOU admissions: Contact the Olabisi Onabanjo University admissions office to understand their specific admission requirements for Business Education and the progress of your application.
Consider alternatives: If your scores are still too low for OOU, even after the change of course, you may need to explore other options, such as applying to other universities or waiting for the next admission cycle.
Wait for further updates: If the status on JAMB CAPS remains "Admission in Progress" for more than a few weeks, it likely means the university has not yet recommended you for admission.
Be aware of cut-off marks: Universities set cut-off marks for each course. A 174 JAMB score might be below the cut-off, even with the post-UTME score. Check the specific cut-off marks for the courses you are interested in at OOU and other universities.
Consider other schools: If OOU's admission is not successful, you might want to look into other institutions that have lower cut-off marks for Business Education. You can also use the "Transfer Approval" feature on JAMB CAPS to accept offers from other schools if you are offered one.
Re-evaluate your JAMB score: To increase your chances of getting into your desired course, aim for a much higher score on your next JAMB exam. Many universities require higher scores for competitive courses like Business Administration.
