Has UMYU Released the 2026/2027 1st Batch Admission List?
Contents
The UMYU Admission List for the 2026/2027 academic session is released in batches after the university completes its admission screening process.
The 1st Batch, often called the Merit Admission List, contains the names of candidates who met the admission requirements and ranked highly based on the university’s selection criteria.
If the list has already been released, candidates can check their admission status through:
- The official UMYU admission portal.
- The JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
If the list has not yet been published, applicants should regularly monitor the university’s official announcements instead of relying on unverified social media posts.
What Is the UMYU 1st Batch Admission List?
The first batch admission list is the initial list of successful candidates offered provisional admission into undergraduate programmes.
Candidates included in this batch usually:
- Meet the required UTME score.
- Satisfy departmental admission requirements.
- Have the correct O-Level subject combinations.
- Have completed the Post-UTME or screening exercise, where applicable.
- Uploaded their O-Level results to JAMB CAPS.
Being admitted in the first batch often means your application met the admission criteria early in the selection process.

What Does “Admission in Progress” Mean?
If your portal displays: “Admission in Progress”
It means your application is still being processed.
This is generally a positive indication that your documents are under review.
Continue checking periodically until the final decision is displayed.
What If My Status Shows “Not Admitted”?
Do not panic if your admission status shows Not Admitted.
Possible reasons include:
- The university has not reached your department.
- Additional admission batches are still being processed.
- Your O-Level result has not been uploaded correctly.
- Your admission is still under consideration.
- Your course is highly competitive.
Many candidates eventually receive admission in later batches.

Why Some Candidates Receive Admission Earlier
Several factors determine placement in the first batch, including:
- High UTME score.
- Strong O-Level grades.
- Correct subject combination.
- Early completion of the admission process.
- Meeting departmental requirements.
- Availability of admission quota.
Admission is competitive, so meeting the minimum requirements does not always guarantee inclusion in the first batch.

Direct Entry applicants are admitted through a separate evaluation process, and eligible candidates may also appear in the first admission batch if they satisfy all admission conditions.
Tips to Improve Your Admission Chances
If your name has not appeared yet:
- Continue checking JAMB CAPS regularly.
- Upload any outstanding O-Level results.
- Ensure your documents are complete.

Common Reasons Admission May Be Delayed
Your admission may take longer due to:
- Verification of academic records.
- Departmental quota limitations.
- High number of applicants.
- Pending document validation.
- Awaiting approval from admission authorities.
- Technical updates on JAMB CAPS.
A delayed admission does not necessarily mean you have been rejected.
