JAMB CAPS: How do I check my admission status in caps portal and can I accept or reject admission if I have not been offered admission yet? That’s what you are about to learn in this tutorial.

I have already explained everything about Jamb caps for 2018/2019 admission. If you still don’t have full idea of what Jamb caps is about then click here now to read more about JAMB CAPS PORTAL.

Steps To Check Your 2018/19 Admission Status In Caps Portal

Ensure you have active data bundle.

Open your favourite browser (Preferably, Google Chrome).

Visit the jamb caps admission checking portal using this link http://caps.jamb.gov.ng/acceptadmission.aspx.

Then scroll down to check CAPS UTME/DE Admission status.

Click on UTME/DE Admission button to check and accept/reject your 2018 status of admission.

Your details including Jamb score, institution, date of birth,etc will appear when you have successfully logged in to Jamb caps portal.

If you are given admission and you like the school then click on accept admission.

If the institution and course space is blank or you have not been offered admission then don’t click on accept admission. Just keep checking back.

Be very careful not to accept admission when you are not offered (or when you have hope of gaining admission in a better school).

Once you accept the admission offered you then your admission door is closed for that year.

On the other hand, if you see welcome while you click on CAPS, don’t be annoyed. Just use desktop version to see the menu and then click on check admission status (Click on the three dots on Google Chrome and scroll down to see desktop site).

Jamb Caps Admission Status Portal

 Not Admitted In My Jamb Caps Portal/Market Place

Accept The Admission Status:

If you see not admitted yet in your Jamb Caps market place it means your school hasn’t started giving admission and all you have to do is close the page and keep checking back. Don’t click on the accept admission TAB (It would not be clickable self).

By the time your school of choice releases her admission list,you will not only see the “ACCEPT” icon but also a ‘DECLINE’ icon . You are enjoined not to click on the ‘ACCEPT’ icon until you receive an admission notification from your institution of choice.

I Mistakenly Click Accept Admission In My Caps Portal?

If you mistakenly accepted admission when you have not been offered admission by any school yet then I don’t think that would be an issue.

The main issue is when you have been offered admission in a particular school already and you accepted it. It then means that your door of admission for that year has closed. I wish you the best.

The following are processes that your details go through before you are finally admitted.

1. Forwarding Names Of Those Who Passed Jamb 2018
