How to Check Your Admission Status on JAMB Portal

 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) admission process is one of the most important steps for every Nigerian student aspiring to further their education in a tertiary institution. After sitting for the UTME/DE and participating in the Post-UTME or screening exercise of your chosen institution, the next step is to monitor your admission status. This is done through the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) on the JAMB portal.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Status on JAMB Portal

1. Visit the JAMB Portal

Go to https://www.jamb.gov.ng or directly access the e-facility portal at https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng.

2. Login to Your Profile

Enter your registered email address and password created during your JAMB registration to sign in.

3. Locate the “Check Admission Status” Tab

After logging in, click on the “Check Admission Status” tab on your dashboard.

4. Choose Your Exam Year and Registration Number

Select the year you wrote your JAMB exam, then enter your JAMB Registration Number in the space provided.

5. Access CAPS (Central Admission Processing System)

Click on “Access my CAPS” to see your admission details. This section allows you to accept or reject admission offers.

6. Check Admission Status

Your current admission status will be displayed. If admitted, you can proceed to Accept or Reject the offer. If not yet admitted, you will see “Admission in Progress” or “Not Admitted.”

Why You Should Check Your Admission Status Regularly

1. Early Notification of Admission

Checking regularly ensures you do not miss your admission offer. Once your preferred institution offers you admission through JAMB CAPS, you need to accept it quickly before the deadline.

2. Possibility of Multiple Offers

In some cases, candidates may receive offers from more than one institution. By checking frequently, you can decide on time which institution you want to accept.

3. Avoid Automatic Rejection

If you fail to accept an admission offer within the given timeframe, JAMB may revoke the offer, and it could be given to another candidate.

4. Chance for Transfer of Admission

Some institutions may transfer you to a different course if you do not meet the requirements for your initial choice. Checking your CAPS often allows you to either accept or reject the new course promptly.

5. Peace of Mind and Proper Planning

Regularly monitoring your admission status helps you plan ahead for school fees, accommodation, and other academic preparations without last-minute stress.

Final Thoughts

Checking your JAMB admission status on the CAPS portal is simple but very important. It saves you from missing out on opportunities and ensures that you stay informed throughout the admission process. Every student should make it a habit to log in from time to time, especially during the peak of the admission season.
