JAMB CAPS 2025/2026 Login with Registration Number

JAMB CAPS 2025/2026 has been activated to allow candidates monitor their admission status, accept or reject offers, and ensure transparency throughout the admission process.

JAMB CAPS stands for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Central Admission Processing System, and was introduced in 2017 by JAMB itself to ensure control, quality, and transparency for individuals seeking to be admitted into Nigerian tertiary institutions.

Through the online platform, candidates who have sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are allowed to access their admission status to accept or reject if they have been admitted into any of the Nigerian tertiary institution they applied for.

Moreover, admissions into Nigerian tertiary institutions accredited by JAMB is not deemed valid and legal except the admission is being given through the CAPS, hence you are regularly advised to visit your CAPS from time to time to confirm your admission status if you had applied for an admission.
