To check your JAMB admission status, log in at efacility.jamb.gov.ng with the email and password you used at registration, click Check Admission Status, pick the exam year (2026), enter your JAMB registration number, and submit. Your status loads on screen — admitted, awaiting, or not admitted. If admitted, accept (or reject) on CAPS the same way.
How to check JAMB admission status (step by step)
- Open efacility.jamb.gov.ng on a desktop or in desktop view on your phone.
- Log in with your JAMB email and password (the ones used at registration). If you forgot the password, click Forgot Password.
- On the dashboard, click Check Admission Status.
- Select your exam year (2026 for the current cycle).
- Enter your JAMB registration number.
- Click Check Admission Status. Your result loads.
If you see “Congratulations! You have been offered provisional admission”, proceed to CAPS to accept or reject.
How to accept or reject admission on CAPS
- Still inside efacility.jamb.gov.ng, click CAPS on the left menu.
- Under Admission Status, click Accept or Reject.
- Confirm the choice. CAPS records your response immediately.
You can only accept once. If you reject, the slot opens up and you may not get another offer that cycle.
How to print your JAMB admission letter
- Log in at efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
- Click Print Admission Letter.
- Pay the ₦1,500 processing fee online (debit card or USSD).
- Download the PDF and print.
You’ll need the printed letter for school clearance, NYSC mobilisation, and bank loan applications.
What each status means
- Admission in Progress — your school has not yet uploaded a decision. Keep checking.
- Recommended for Admission — your school proposed you to JAMB; CAPS approval pending.
- Admitted — accept or reject on CAPS.
- Not Admitted — your score, post-UTME, or O’level didn’t meet the cut-off. Consider change of course/institution.
- No admission given yet — your school is still releasing batches. Check again weekly.
How to check JAMB admission with registration number only
If you can’t log in, use the public CAPS-linked page:
- Open portal.jamb.gov.ng.
- Click Check Admission Status.
- Enter your JAMB registration number.
- Click Check.
This shows admission only. To accept/reject, you still need eFacility login.
Why you might not see your status
- School hasn’t uploaded yet. Wait — JAMB releases admission in batches.
- Wrong exam year. Pick the correct cycle from the dropdown.
- Awaiting result not uploaded. Log in to O’level Result Upload and upload your WAEC/NECO result. Without it, no admission can be given.
- Browser issue. Switch to Chrome or Firefox on a PC, clear cache, or use desktop view on mobile.
- Server overload. The portal slows during peak admission release. Try early morning or late night.
How to check JAMB result by registration number
- Open jamb.org.ng/ExamSlipPrinting3/CheckUTMEResults.
- Enter your JAMB registration number.
- Click Check My Result. Your UTME score loads.
