Checking Admission Status

ATBU releases admission lists in batches. The first list is usually a provisional admission list. If offered provisional admission, you will still need to go through screening exercises like verification of credentials and other checks before given full admission. The final admission list contains names of candidates who were successful in the screening and verification process. To increase your chances of being on the final admission list, ensure all information provided during registration and exam is correct and verifiable.
In summary, paying close attention to details regarding your ATBU Post-UTME admission status and acceptance fee payment will ensure a smooth admission process.
