The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has upgraded its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) Mobile App, allowing candidates to manage all their admission-related activities from the comfort of their homes without visiting a CBT centre or cyber cafe.

JAMB Reinforces CAPS Mobile App To Ease Admission Process

Step-by-Step Guide to Logging Into the JAMB CAPS Mobile App

According to JAMB spokesperson Dr. Fabian Benjamin, candidates expecting admission can verify and manage their status by following these steps:

  1. Download and open the JAMB CAPS Mobile App on your smartphone.
  2. Log in using the phone number you used during your UTME/DE registration.
  3. Enter your JAMB Registration Number and tap ENTER to begin verification.
  4. An OTP (One-Time Password) code will be sent via SMS to your registered phone number.
  5. Enter the OTP code and tap VERIFY to access your dashboard.

What You Can Do Inside the CAPS App

Once verified, you will be taken to your personal admission page where you can:

  • View your bio-data and uploaded O'Level results.
  • Accept or Reject your provisional admission offer.
  • Accept or Reject Transfer Consideration if an institution proposes moving you to another course.
  • Accept or Reject Marketplace Consideration from institutions.

Dr. Benjamin advised candidates who accept their admission offers on the app to proceed with online registration for the academic session on their respective university or polytechnic portals.

What does 'Transfer Consideration' on the JAMB CAPS app mean?

Hi Zynar, 'Transfer Consideration' appears when your chosen university wants to offer you admission into a related course (for example, Biochemistry instead of Medicine) because the quota for your original choice is full. You must click 'Accept' on Transfer Consideration before the admission offer can drop.
