JAMB CAPS for 2025/2026 Admission: How to Monitor & Confirm Your Status – If you’re an admission seeker this year, the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) is the most reliable place to know your status. With CAPS, you don’t have to wait for rumors or depend on schools pasting lists on notice boards. You can simply log in and confirm your admission directly.
Key Update
JAMB has officially activated CAPS for the 2025/2026 admission exercise. This means candidates can now log in to monitor their status. Once an institution offers you admission, it will immediately reflect on CAPS, and you will have to either accept or reject it.
Who Should Check CAPS?
- UTME candidates who wrote JAMB this year.
- Direct Entry applicants whose admission also passes through CAPS.
- Students applying to schools that don’t publish admission lists online or on notice boards.
In summary, every candidate hoping to secure admission this year must keep checking CAPS regularly.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Check Your Admission Status on CAPS
Here’s how to confirm your status without stress:
- Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
- Log in with the email and password you used during registration.
- Click on “Check Admission Status.”
- Select “Access my CAPS.”
- Click on “Admission Status.”
If you have been offered admission, your passport photo will appear along with a congratulatory message.

If admitted, proceed to accept or reject the offer:
Send ACCEPT or REJECT as an SMS to 55019 or 66019 using your JAMB-registered phone number.
Alternatively, visit a JAMB-accredited CBT centre if you no longer have access to your registered line.
