One of the most important things for JAMB candidates is to check their admission status after writing the UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) and Post-UTME exams. Here are the steps to follow to check your JAMB admission status.

Step 1: Visit the JAMB website

The first step to check your UTME admission status is to visit their website at https://www.jamb.gov.ng/Efacility. Once you have accessed your portal, navigate to the top of the page.

Step 2: Select your examination year

At the top, you’ll be able to select the year of the examination you took. Ensure that you select the correct year, which is the year you wrote your UTME. Then click “Check Admission Status”.

Step 3: Enter your JAMB registration number to check JAMB admission status

After clicking on the “Check Admission Status” option, you will be required to enter your UTME registration number. Ensure that you enter your registration number correctly to avoid any errors.

Step 4: Click on “Check Admission Status” to check JAMB admission status

After entering your JAMB registration number and selecting your examination year, click on the “Check Admission Status” button. This will display your UTME admission status.

Step 5: Accept or reject admission offer

If you have been offered admission, you will see a message that says “Congratulations! You have been offered admission.” You will also be provided with details of the institution you have been admitted to and the course you have been admitted to study. At this point, you have the option to either accept or reject the admission offer. If you choose to accept the offer, you will be required to proceed to the institution to complete the admission process.

If you have not been offered admission, you will see a message that says “Sorry, no admission is given yet.” This means that you have not been offered admission yet, and you should keep checking the website for updates.

Step 6: Check admission status with JAMB CAPS

In addition to checking your UTME admission status, it is also important to check the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) portal. This portal provides more detailed information about your admission status, such as whether you have been recommended for admission, whether you have been admitted, or whether your admission is still in progress.

To check your JAMB CAPS, visit the JAMB website and click on the “CAPS” option under the “Admissions” tab. Please ensure your Chrome browser is on desktop view before trying to access CAPS. In fact, if possible, have it on desktop mode from the onset. 

Enter your JAMB registration number, select your examination year, and click on “Access my CAPS.” This will display your JAMB CAPS dashboard. Here, you can view your admission status, accept or reject admission offers, and view details of the institution and course you have been admitted to study.
