The JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) for the 2025/2026 admission exercise is now active, and universities, polytechnics, and colleges are uploading their admission lists in batches.

JAMB CAPS for 2025/2026 admission - monitor & confirm your admission status

Because several institutions upload their admitted candidates to JAMB CAPS before publishing a list on their school website, checking your CAPS dashboard regularly is the fastest way to know when you have been offered admission.

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

  1. Visit the official JAMB e-Facility portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng and log in with your registered email address and password.
  2. Crucial Tip for Phone Users: If you are using a smartphone on Google Chrome, tap the three dots at the top right corner and tick Request Desktop Site so the full CAPS menu displays (otherwise you will only see a blank "Welcome" message).
  3. Click on Check Admission Status, then click Access my CAPS.
  4. Click on Admission Status on the left-hand menu.
  5. If you have been admitted, your passport photo and a Congratulations message will appear.

How to Accept Your Admission Offer Within 4 Weeks

  • Via SMS: Send ACCEPT or REJECT via SMS to 55019 or 66019 using the exact phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
  • Lost SIM Card? If you no longer have access to your registered phone number, visit any JAMB-accredited CBT centre to accept your admission using biometric thumbprint verification.
  • 4-Week Window & Admission Letter: Candidates have 4 weeks to accept their offer, after which they must print their official JAMB Admission Letter for school clearance.

When I click 'Access my CAPS' on my phone, it only shows 'Welcome' with no menu on the left. How do I fix it?
