ABU Admission List 2025/2026: How to Check Your Status on JAMB CAPS

Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, has officially released the first batch of admission updates for candidates seeking entry into the 2025/2026 academic session. The good news? Prospective students can now confirm their admission status—but only through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) portal.

How to Check Your ABU Admission Status

If you applied for admission into Ahmadu Bello University, here’s a step-by-step guide to confirm your status:

1. Visit the JAMB E-Facility Portal.
2. Log in using your JAMB-registered email address and password.
3. Scroll down and click “Check Admission Status.”
4. Select “Access my CAPS.”
5. Click on “Admission Status” to know if you have been offered admission into ABU.

Understanding JAMB CAPS Admission Messages

When checking your status, you may come across one of the following messages:

• ADMISSION OFFERED – Congratulations! JAMB has approved your admission. You must either accept or reject the offer.
• ADMISSION IN PROGRESS (AIP) – Your school has recommended you for admission, awaiting final approval.
• RECOMMENDED – Your application has been favourably considered by ABU and is under JAMB’s review.
• NOT ADMITTED – You have not yet been offered admission. This could mean ABU has not released your list or your application is still being reviewed.
• PENDING – Your application is still under consideration, and no decision has been made.

Next Steps for Admitted Candidates

If you see “ADMISSION OFFERED”, follow these steps immediately:

• Accept or reject the admission by sending ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019, using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
• After accepting, print your JAMB Admission Letter—a vital document required for clearance and registration at ABU.

Important Tips for Checking Admission Status

• Mobile phone users may not see the full admission page immediately. If only the welcome message appears, switch your browser to Desktop Mode.
• The recommended browser is Google Chrome. Go to settings and select “Request Desktop Site” for better access.

Congratulations to the Admitted Students

The management of Ahmadu Bello University has congratulated all successful candidates and encouraged them to complete the admission process promptly. More admission lists are expected in the coming weeks.
