Checking your JAMB Admission status is one way to determine if you are considered for admission into any tertiary institution.
Without this, you may be confused whether your admission process is successful or not.
There are two easy methods you can use to check your admission status: the JAMB CAPS portal and the JAMB e-Facility Portal.
Method 1: How to Check JAMB Admission Status on JAMB CAPS Portal
JAMB CAPS portal is a platform established by JAMB to streamline admission, making it easy for candidates to confirm their admission status at any time.
Also, on the portal, you can confirm if you have been offered or denied admission. Your preferred institution can also upload, stall or approve your admission request.
You can access the JAMB CAPS portal using a computer or mobile device.
Using a computer
- Access the JAMB e-facility login page.
- Correctly input your email and password, then log in.
- Select Check Admission Status.
- Choose your exam year, input your JAMB reg no, and select Access my CAPS.

Using a phone

You can also send an SMS with the word “ACCEPT” or “REJECT“ to 55019 or 66019. Ensure you use the same phone number you registered with for JAMB.

Understanding Your JAMB Admission Status Output
When checking your JAMB admission status, you may see the following:
- Congratulations, You Have Been Offered Provisional Admission
- Admission in Progress, Check Back Later

Congratulations, You Have Been Offered Provisional Admission: This is self-explanatory. The next step is to reject and accept the offer.
If you choose the latter, ensure you print out your admission letter for documentation.

You can check back in a day or two.
