Congratulations on taking the JAMB exam! Now comes the exciting (and sometimes nerve-wracking) wait to see if you’ve been offered admission to your dream school.
Thankfully, JAMB’s Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) makes checking your admission status a breeze.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step, so you can find out your fate with ease.
But before we dive in, here are a few things to keep in mind:
-
The 2024/2025 admission process hasn’t officially begun yet. JAMB usually opens the CAPS portal for admission checking sometime in late July or August. This blog post will be your one-stop guide when that time comes!
-
Bookmark this page for easy access when the portal opens.
-
Make sure you have your JAMB registration number and email address handy.
Alright, now let’s get down to business!
Here’s How to Check Your JAMB Admission Status on CAPS:
-
Head over to the JAMB eFacility portal: This is where all the JAMB magic happens. You can access it by visiting https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/login.
-
Log in with your credentials: Enter the email address and password you used during your JAMB registration.
-
Navigate to CAPS: Once you’re logged in, locate the “Check Admission Status” tab or the option that says “Access My CAPS.” Click on it.
-
View your admission status: The CAPS portal will display your admission status. Here’s what you might see:
- “Congratulations! You have been offered admission!” (Cue the happy dance!) This means you’ve been offered admission to a program at your chosen institution. You’ll also see details like the course you’ve been admitted to.
-
- “Sorry, No Admission has been Given Yet.” Don’t panic! This just means that admissions decisions for your program haven’t been made yet. Keep checking back periodically for updates.
-
- “You have been offered admission by…” This indicates that a school has offered you admission, but it might not be your first choice. You’ll have the option to accept or reject this offer.
-
Accept or Reject Your Offer (if applicable): If you’ve been offered admission, you’ll be presented with buttons to “Accept Admission” or “Reject Admission.”
Here’s the crucial part:
- Accepting the offer: Clicking “Accept Admission” indicates that you’d like to take up the offer. This is a binding decision, so make sure you’re absolutely certain before accepting.
- Rejecting the offer: If you’ve been offered admission but have your sights set on another school, you can choose to “Reject Admission.” This opens up the spot for another candidate.
Remember: You can only accept one admission offer at a time. So, choose wisely!

-
Clear your browser cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause glitches. To avoid any issues, clear your browser cache before logging in to the portal.
-
Be patient: During peak periods, the JAMB portal might experience high traffic. If you encounter any delays, don’t panic. Just try again later.
