The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has implemented the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to streamline the admission process into Nigerian tertiary institutions. Accessing your JAMB CAPS portal is essential for monitoring and managing your admission status. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the system effectively.
1. Visit the JAMB e-Facility Portal
Begin by navigating to the official JAMB e-Facility portal:
2. Log In to Your JAMB Profile
Enter your registered email address and password in the respective fields, then click on the “Login” button to access your dashboard.
3. Access the CAPS Portal
On your dashboard, locate and click on the “Check Admission Status” tab. Next, select “Access my CAPS” to enter the CAPS portal.
4. Check Your Admission Status
Within the CAPS portal, click on the “Admission Status” link. Here, you’ll see your current admission status, which could be:
- Admitted: You’ve been offered admission into your chosen institution and course.
- Not Admitted: You haven’t received an admission offer yet.
- Admission in Progress: Your admission is being processed; check back later for updates.
5. Accept or Reject Admission Offer
If you’ve been offered admission, you’ll have the option to either “Accept Admission” or “Reject Admission.” It’s crucial to respond promptly, as failure to accept the offer within a specified period may result in the offer being withdrawn.
Accessing JAMB CAPS on Mobile Devices
For mobile users, it’s advisable to use the Chrome browser and enable the ‘Desktop site’ option for optimal functionality. To do this, open Chrome, tap the three-dot menu icon, and select “Desktop site.” Then, follow the steps outlined above to access your CAPS portal.
Alternative Access via JAMB Approved CBT Centres
If you encounter difficulties accessing your CAPS portal online, you can visit any JAMB-approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre for assistance. These centres can help you access your CAPS without requiring your profile email address.
By following these steps, you can effectively monitor and manage your admission status through the JAMB CAPS portal.
