JAMB CAPS 2025/2026 Admission Status: How to Check, Accept or Reject Admission
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) for the 2025/2026 admission session is now active. Candidates can monitor their admission status in real time and know immediately when they have been offered admission.
Once an offer appears on JAMB CAPS, every candidate must take action by either:
- Accepting the admission, or
- Rejecting the admission
Since many universities and polytechnics may not publish their admission lists on their official websites or notice boards, JAMB CAPS is the most reliable way to confirm your admission status.
How to Check Your Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
Follow these steps carefully:
- Visit the JAMB E-facility portal: https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/
- Log in with your registered email address and password.
- Click on “Check Admission Status”.
- Select “Access my CAPS”.
- Click on “Admission Status” to see your result.
- If admitted, your photo and a congratulatory message will be displayed.
- If not yet admitted, the system will show: “Sorry, No Admission has been Given Yet.”
How to Accept or Reject Admission on JAMB CAPS
If you are offered admission, you must decide whether to accept or reject it within the stipulated time.
- Send ACCEPT or REJECT as an SMS to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
- Candidates who no longer have access to their registered phone numbers should visit a JAMB-accredited centre to complete this process.
⚠️ Important: Candidates have a maximum of 4 weeks to accept their admission offer. Failure to do so may lead to automatic cancellation of the offer.
Printing Your JAMB Admission Letter
After accepting admission, candidates should immediately print their JAMB Admission Letter. This document is required for clearance, registration, and verification at the institution where admission has been offered.
JAMB CAPS Access on Mobile Devices
Many candidates checking JAMB CAPS on a mobile phone may only see a welcome page without the “Check Admission Status” option. To fix this:
- Use Google Chrome browser.
- Open the browser menu and select “Request Desktop Site”.
- Reload the page to see all available CAPS features.

The 2025/2026 JAMB CAPS admission process is ongoing, and schools are actively uploading admission lists. Candidates are strongly advised to monitor their status regularly to avoid missing important updates.
