Common Challenges You Might Encounter
The most common problem you’re likely to encounter is when you submit your details, but the system seems not to recognize your details. When messages like “Sorry the Index Number, Scratch Card Number/PIN Number does not exist”, remain calm, look carefully and retype your details.
Do not panic as you will eventually get the placement form. Try again using the same scratch card. Do not be tempted to buy another scratch card because the fault is not from the scratch card.
Some of the reasons you might be experiencing challenges printing your admission forms may also include:
- Large number: When so many people are checking their results on the website at the same time, it causes a lot of traffic, hence slowing the process down. Don’t panic when you experience such a situation; just be patient.
- Withheld results: You might also experience challenges if your results were received later than others. If the results are withheld, you can get them later so keep checking until you have them.
