- JAMB profile login: Valid e-Facility login details.

Step 2: Open admission status service
- Choose the admission status option and enter your registration details where required.
Step 3: Access CAPS
- From your e-Facility dashboard, open CAPS to view your current admission decision.
Step 4: Accept or reject offer

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Not Admitted Yet mean on JAMB CAPS?
It means your admission process is still pending. Institutions and JAMB update admission records in phases, so continue checking periodically through e-Facility.
Can I change my mind after accepting admission?
Acceptance on CAPS is a formal confirmation step. Treat it as final unless JAMB and your institution provide a valid correction route.
Do I need to check admission status on both school portal and CAPS?
Yes. Your school portal provides institutional updates, while CAPS (via e-Facility) is the official JAMB confirmation channel for final admission processing.
