Candidates can check their status through <a href=\"https:\/\/efacility.jamb.gov.ng\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">JAMB CAPS<\/a>.

Additionally, you must not have been offered admission anywhere else.

Therefore, carefully decide which offer to accept first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Stay Ahead of the Admission Race<\/h2>\n\n<p>The 2026 Nigerian university admission exercise is underway, and missing even one deadline could cost you your dream programme.
