Rivers State University (RSU) Admission List 2025/2026: How to Check Your Status on JAMB CAPS
The wait is finally over for candidates seeking admission into Rivers State University (RSU) for the 2025/2026 academic session. The institution has officially released its admission list, sparking excitement and anxiety among thousands of UTME and Post-UTME candidates.
For many, this announcement feels like receiving a long-awaited letter in the mail—some candidates will find their names already on the list, while others may need to keep checking as more batches are released.
How to Check RSU Admission List on JAMB CAPS
Currently, the only way to confirm your admission is through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). Follow these steps carefully:
- Visit the JAMB EFacility portal.
- Log in with your JAMB username and password.
- Scroll down and click Check Admission Status.
- Select Access my CAPS.
- Click Admission Status to see if you’ve been offered admission.
Pro tip for mobile users: If you’re stuck on the welcome page, switch your browser to desktop mode. On Chrome, simply tap the three dots and select Request Desktop Site.
What the Messages on JAMB CAPS Mean
The portal doesn’t always say “Yes” or “No.” Here’s what each response means:
- Admission Offered – Congratulations! You’ve been admitted. Accept or reject the offer immediately.
- Admission in Progress (AIP) – RSU has forwarded your name to JAMB, but it’s still being processed.
- Recommended – You’ve been considered by RSU, pending JAMB’s confirmation.
- Not Admitted – Your name isn’t on the list yet. This may be because RSU hasn’t uploaded all names, or your case is still under review.
- Pending – Your application is still being worked on.
Next Steps After Admission
If you’ve been offered admission, here’s what you need to do immediately:
- Send ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
- After accepting, download and print your JAMB admission letter.
- Keep the admission letter safe—it’s an essential document for clearance and registration at RSU.
Final Note
To all newly admitted students, congratulations on your success! This is the first step toward your academic journey at Rivers State University. For those who haven’t been admitted yet, don’t lose hope. Admission lists are released in batches, so your name could appear in the next round.
Stay calm, keep checking your CAPS portal, and get ready for the next stage.
