The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has published a list of over 80,000 candidates offered provisional admission into various Nigerian tertiary institutions for the 2019/2020 academic session who are yet to accept their admission offers on the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).

Why You Must Accept Your Admission on JAMB CAPS

JAMB warned that failure to accept an offer of admission on the CAPS platform will result in the automatic forfeiture of the admission. The Board also stressed that accepting admission on a university's internal portal alone is not valid with JAMB unless it is also accepted on CAPS.

How to Check and Accept Your Admission from Your Phone

  1. Via the JAMB CAPS Mobile App / e-Facility Portal: Log in to your JAMB e-Facility dashboard or the JAMB CAPS Mobile App on your smartphone to accept your admission without visiting a cyber cafe or CBT centre.
  2. Via SMS to 55019: You can also check your 2019 admission status directly from your registered phone number by texting "STATUS 2019" to 55019.
  3. Support Desk: If you experience any technical challenge while accepting your offer, lodge a ticket immediately at support.jamb.gov.ng.

I already paid my acceptance fee on my university's portal. Do I still need to click Accept on JAMB CAPS?

Yes, Miracle! Paying acceptance fee on your school's portal does not update JAMB's database. You must log in to JAMB CAPS and click 'Accept Admission' so you can print your official JAMB Admission Letter.
