JAMB CAPS 2021 Admission Acceptance Guide
The JAMB CAPs portal was launched for accepting admission. To accept or reject admissions offered to you, kindly visit the portal, enter your 2021 Jamb reg number in the space provided and hit the submit button. The portal address is at http://caps.jamb.gov.ng/candidateprofile.aspx
JAMB Caps Sensitization Programme
Some years ago after this portal came into existence, (21/09/2017) there was a sensitization programme on JAMB CAPS. The next few lines will highlight the key points from this programme.
Your UTME score won’t be the only factor that influenceds your admission. O’level result and Post UTME score might also be considered by the school in question.
The Jamb cutoff mark of 2021 is not carved on stone. It’s just the general minimum for admission. Schools are free to set their general & departmental cutoff mark. But it need not be lower than JAMB’s.
Candidates must upload their O’level or A’level results before they’d be considered for admission.

There is no news on DE. awajis.com/jamb will be updated if something comes up.
I Logged into it and i saw my name and registration number, course offered but on the admission status i saw not admitted. I clicked accept and it turned to accepted. am confused here. some persons are saying this and that, that i shouldn't have accepted it while some are saying its good that i accept it.
What should i do now? did i took a wrong or right step by clicking accept? Urgent response please.
Thanks.
what will happen if a candidate mistakenly click on the accept icon without any admission yet,does it mean the candidate has forfeit his or her admission this year.
That will not be issue. You can't accept what you've not been offered. Check your email box regularly too.
Should we accept?
It's a personal ish. If you are offered admission. Converse with your guardian(s) and decide for yourself.
what if i accept without not given admission
Hello sir,Actually,i visit that link last night,and saw accept even while the admission was "not accepted"
I also made some enquires b4 i clicked on it and i was told it's for COMFIRMATION of course!
Pls,does this have any effect on the admission process??
It will have no effect.
Plz my bro… Mistakenly clicked on accept admission wich says- not admited ..nd his sch has not sent admission list , right now d status is showing accepted .in what way will that affect him ???
That has no effect!
How do we get started? All I see is information on what the system is about, which is a good thing and I really appreciate, but is there no link that can take us to where we can start the process? Because I was told that we would need to input our data again or re-register. Please, is that true?
The link should be http://caps.jamb.gov.ng/ . I'll make a detailed post on how to register and use the platform soon. Just stay glued to awajis.com/jamb
How can ï get start
soon
