How to Check Admission Status on JAMB CAPS Portal (2025 Guide)

Are you wondering how to check your admission status on the JAMB CAPS portal? Whether you applied for admission into a university, polytechnic, or college of education, the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) by JAMB is the official platform to confirm if you've been offered admission.

This guide explains everything you need to know in simple steps. It's especially useful for UTME and Direct Entry candidates for the 2024/2025 academic session.

What is JAMB CAPS?

JAMB CAPS is a system introduced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to make the admission process more transparent and organized. Through CAPS, candidates can:

• Check admission status
• Accept or reject admission offers
• Monitor the progress of their admission
• Know the institution that offered them admission

Why Is It Important to Check Your Admission on CAPS?

Some candidates don't know they've been offered admission because they don’t check the CAPS portal. If you fail to accept your admission, it can be withdrawn and given to someone else.
