What is JAMB CAPS?
JAMB CAPS stands for Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Central Admissions Processing System. It is an online platform that was introduced by JAMB in 2017 to ensure transparency, quality control, and fairness in the admission process. JAMB CAPS allows candidates to access their admission status and either accept or reject it. It also enables candidates to track their admission process from the point of registration to the point of matriculation.
JAMB CAPS is the only official and authorized platform for candidates to confirm their admission into any tertiary institution in Nigeria. Any admission that is not processed and verified through JAMB CAPS is invalid and illegal. Therefore, candidates are advised to regularly check their admission status on JAMB CAPS and accept or reject it as soon as possible.

How does JAMB CAPS work?
JAMB CAPS works by using an automated system that matches the preferences and qualifications of candidates with the available spaces and criteria of institutions. The system considers factors such as UTME score, O’level results, subject combination, course of study, state of origin, and other relevant information. The system then generates a list of candidates who are eligible for admission into each institution based on their performance and choice.
The list of candidates is then sent to the institutions for screening and verification. The institutions can either accept or reject the candidates based on their own criteria and policies. The institutions can also request for more candidates from JAMB if they have not filled their quota or if they have rejected some candidates. The institutions then upload the list of admitted candidates back to JAMB CAPS for final approval.
The final approval of admission is done by JAMB after verifying that the candidates meet the minimum requirements for admission into their chosen course of study and institution. JAMB then updates the admission status of the candidates on JAMB CAPS and notifies them via SMS or email. The candidates can then login to JAMB CAPS to check and accept or reject their admission status.
