How to check your admission status and accept admission on JAMB CAPS
Log in to JAMB e-Facility, open Admission Status, then CAPS. Accept only when the status says 'Admitted'. Here are the steps, the SMS option and what accepting means.
CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System) is where JAMB shows and confirms admission offers. A university can recommend you, but you are not admitted until your CAPS status says 'Admitted'.
Check your admission status
1. Log in to your JAMB e-Facility account at efacility.jamb.gov.ng. 2. Click 'Check Admission Status' and then 'Access my CAPS'. 3. On a phone, open the site in Chrome with 'Desktop site' turned on, or you may not see the option.
What the status means
- Admission in Progress: your school is still processing. Wait and check again.
- Not Admitted: no offer yet for this choice.
- Admitted: you have an offer. You can now accept or reject it.
Accept or reject the offer
Online: in CAPS, open the admission status tab and click Accept or Reject. A green 'Record(s) successfully saved' message confirms it. By SMS: send ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 from the phone number you registered with. You can also do it with your biometrics at an accredited CBT centre or a JAMB office.
Think before you click
- Accepting means other institutions will no longer consider you.
- Rejecting frees you to be considered elsewhere.
- JAMB treats the decision as final, so be sure.
After you accept
Print your JAMB admission letter from the e-Facility portal. Your school will ask for it at clearance, along with your UTME result slip and O'Level results.
JAMB sets deadlines for accepting offers, and they can change, so check JAMB's official channels if you have an offer pending.
