Here in this post, you will get a step-by-step guide on how to check your JAMB admission status all by yourself without the assistance of a third party.

What is Admission Status?

The admission status is a relative standing or position of a prospective university student, with respect to admission. The status can be Admitted, Admission in Progress, or Not Admitted.

How to Check JAMB Admission Status 2022/2023

To check your JAMB admission status follow the five (5) simple steps outlined below:

• Step 1: Visit the JAMB E-Facility portal https://www.jamb.gov.ng/
• Step 2: log in to JAMB Portal with your username and password.

• Step 3: Click on the “Check Admission Status” tab.
• Step 4: Select your exam year and enter your registration number in the appropriate columns.
• Step 5: Lastly, click on the “Admission Status” button to confirm your admission status.

Note: Below is the kinds of results you may get from JAMB:

1. Congratulations you have been offered provisional admission: you can now proceed to accept or reject the admission offer.
2. Admission in progress: This means that your admission has been considered but still undergoing the process of full admission. So, keep checking or check back time after time.
3. Not admitted: this response means you are yet to be considered for admission. However, you can also be checking the site often, if any changes occur to your admission status.
4. Transfer of admission: transfer of admission means that your school wants to transfer you to another programme. Based on JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) policy,  institutions have the right to consider some students for transfer from their chosen programme to another programme, based on UTME or O ‘Level combinations. However, candidates are advised to monitor their admission by clicking the transfer approval link to know if they have been recommended for transfer to another programme. And you have to either accept or reject the transfer, whichever way.

How to Accept or Reject Admission

Immediately you confirm that you have been offered admission to your choice of institution and programme. The next thing is for you to log into the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS), to either accept or reject the admission offer. And this has to be done quickly because you can lose your admission if you fail to accept before the deadline expires. The question is how do you accept or reject the admission?

Below is how you can go about it;

• Log into the JAMB website.
• Click on check admission status.
• Proceed to access my CAPS option.
