The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has activated its Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) portal for tertiary institutions to upload the names of shortlisted candidates for the 2020/2021 admission exercise.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja, JAMB Registrar Prof. Is-haq Oloyede reiterated that every admission offer must pass through CAPS for approval. Only qualified candidates recommended by their chosen institutions will be cleared by the Board.
Current Status Across Institutions
- Private Institutions: Most private universities have already commenced uploading their admission lists on CAPS.
- Polytechnics and Colleges of Education: Aside from earlier COVID-19 closures, these institutions were not affected by the university strike and are actively processing admissions.
- Public Universities: Many public universities are finalizing their previous academic session before fully rolling out the new admission batches.
How to Check Your Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
- Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal at www.jamb.gov.ng/Efacility and log in with your registered email address and password.

- Select your examination year, enter your JAMB Registration Number, and click on Access my CAPS.
