How to Check Your 2026/2027 Admission List on JAMB CAPS
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) CAPS platform is the official portal where you’ll find your admission status. Here’s how to check:
- Visit the JAMB EFacility portal
- Log in using your JAMB username and password
- Click on Check Admission Status
- Select Access my CAPS
- View your admission status under the institution you applied to

Understanding Your JAMB CAPS Admission Status
Once you access your account, you’ll see one of these statuses:
- Admission Offered: Congratulations! The university has approved your admission. You can now proceed to accept or reject the offer.
- Admission in Progress (AIP): Your application is under final review by JAMB and the institution’s leadership. A decision is coming soon.
- Recommended: The university has recommended you for admission, but JAMB is still verifying that you meet all entry requirements.
- Not Admitted: You haven’t been selected at this institution. The university may still be releasing lists, so check back regularly.
- Pending: Your application is still being reviewed. No decision has been made yet.
How to Accept or Reject Your Admission Offer
After receiving an “Admission Offered” status, you must formally accept or reject the offer within the specified timeframe. You have two options:
- In-Person: Visit an approved JAMB CBT centre with your JAMB registration number and valid ID to complete biometric confirmation.
- By SMS: Send a text message to the designated JAMB number (details will appear on your CAPS dashboard) with your registration number and choice.
After accepting, you can print your JAMB admission letter directly from the portal. Keep this letter safe—you’ll need it during registration and throughout your academic journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2026/2027 Admission List
What should I do if I see “Not Admitted” on my JAMB CAPS?
Don’t panic. “Not Admitted” can mean several things: the university hasn’t released all lists yet, your score doesn’t meet the cut-off mark, or you haven’t been selected in this round. Check back regularly, as universities release admission in batches. If your UTME score was genuinely below the institution’s cut-off mark, consider applying to other universities or preparing for post-UTME at that institution if they offer second-chance screening. JAMB cut-off marks by institution
Can I accept admission to multiple universities?
No. JAMB’s system is designed so that once you formally accept an admission offer, you cannot accept offers from other institutions during the same admission cycle. Choose wisely based on your program of interest, campus location, and career goals. You can reject an offer if you have better options and then accept another offer.
How long do I have to accept or reject an admission offer?
JAMB typically gives candidates 2–4 weeks to respond to admission offers, though this varies by year. The exact deadline will be displayed on your JAMB CAPS dashboard. Missing the deadline may result in forfeiture of your admission. Set a calendar reminder and act promptly to avoid this.
