The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Central Admissions Processing System (JAMB CAPS) is now active for the 2022/2023 admission exercise. Universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education have started uploading their admission lists to the portal.

JAMB CAPS for 2022/2023 admission exercise - Confirm your admission status now

Because some institutions do not publish physical lists on notice boards before uploading to JAMB, checking your CAPS dashboard regularly is the surest way to know when you have been offered admission.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Admission Status on JAMB CAPS

  1. Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal at www.jamb.gov.ng/EfacilityLogin and log in with your registered email address and password.
  2. Click on Check Admission Status on your dashboard.
  3. Select Access my CAPS.
  4. Click on Admission Status on the left menu.
  5. If you have been admitted, your photo will display alongside a message congratulating you on your admission offer. If not yet admitted, you will see "Sorry No Admission has been Given Yet".
  6. Once offered admission, click ACCEPT ADMISSION (or Reject Admission if you do not want the offer).

What to Do After Accepting Your Admission

Immediately after accepting your offer on CAPS, proceed to print your official JAMB Admission Letter, as you will need it for physical clearance and registration at your institution.

Important Tip for Mobile Phone Users

If you log into JAMB CAPS using a smartphone, you might only see a welcome message without the Admission Status button. To fix this, open the page using the Google Chrome browser, tap the three dots at the top right corner, and select Request Desktop Site (or Desktop Mode) so the full page can load properly.

My JAMB CAPS has been showing 'Admission in Progress (AIP)' for three days now. What does that mean?

Congratulations in advance, Jessica! 'Admission in Progress' means your institution has recommended you for admission and JAMB is currently verifying it. Keep checking daily; it will soon change to 'Congratulations', allowing you to click Accept.

What happens if someone accidentally clicks Reject Admission on CAPS?

Be very careful when clicking, Collins! Rejecting an admission offer forfeits that slot, and reversing it requires your university's admission officer to re-propose you on CAPS.
