The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued an urgent notice to a large number of 2019 candidates who have been offered provisional admission by their institutions but have not yet formally accepted the offer on the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
Why You Must Accept Your Admission on JAMB CAPS
- Risk of Forfeiture: Failure to accept your provisional admission on JAMB CAPS will result in the automatic forfeiture of the admission slot.
- School Portal Acceptance Is Not Enough: Accepting admission on a university, polytechnic, or college of education website without accepting it on JAMB CAPS is invalid. Any admission not processed and accepted via CAPS is not recognised by JAMB.
- NYSC Mobilisation Requirement: Only candidates who accept their admission on CAPS and appear on the JAMB Provisional Matriculation List are recognised as bona fide students eligible for future NYSC mobilisation and employment verification.
How to Check the List and Accept Your Offer From Home
- Check the Published List: Visit www.jamb.gov.ng, navigate to the 'STUDENTS+' menu, and select the submenu titled "Yet To Accept 2019 Admission".
- Use the JAMB CAPS Mobile App: Download the CAPS Mobile App to accept your admission directly from your smartphone without visiting a CBT centre or cyber cafe during the stay-at-home order.
- Check via SMS: Send "STATUS 2019" to 55019 from your registered phone number to verify your 2019 admission status.
- Lodge Complaints Online: If you encounter any technical issues, raise a support ticket immediately at support.jamb.gov.ng under the category "2019 Admission List Issue".
