Important Notice to All Jambites: How to Accept Your JAMB Admission Offer 2025

Important notice to all Jambites 2025: Accept your JAMB admission offer within one month via CAPS or at a CBT center. Learn how to avoid losing admission.

If you are among the thousands of candidates who participated in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), then this message is especially for you. JAMB has issued an important notice to all Jambites regarding admission acceptance on the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). Many candidates lose their admission each year because they fail to accept their offer in time. Don’t let that happen to you.

According to the 2025 JAMB policy meeting, admission offers only last one month from the date they are given. If you fail to accept your admission within that period, the offer will be withdrawn and automatically given to another candidate.

Why Admission Acceptance Is Important

When a candidate is offered admission, it must be accepted on JAMB CAPS. This is the only way the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board confirms that you are ready to take the slot. Without acceptance, your institution cannot process your clearance or registration.

Failing to accept admission could mean:

Losing your admission permanently.
Having your slot reassigned to another applicant.
Being unable to print your admission letter on the JAMB e-facility portal.

How to Accept Admission Offer on JAMB CAPS

There are two main ways to accept your admission on CAPS:

1. Via SMS or Online on CAPS

Visit the JAMB CAPS portal.
Log in with your JAMB registration number and password.
Navigate to “Admission Status”.
If offered admission, click “Accept Admission”.

Some candidates may also receive a text message with an option to accept directly.

2. At an Accredited CBT Center

If you are unable to accept your admission through SMS or online:

Visit the nearest accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) center.
Provide your JAMB registration number.
Ask the officials to help you access your CAPS and accept the admission.
Print your updated admission status for reference.

JAMB 2025 Policy on Admission Deadline

One of the most crucial updates from the 2025 JAMB policy meeting is that candidates now have only one month to accept their admission offer. This is shorter than in some previous years, where candidates delayed for months before taking action.

This strict deadline ensures that all unaccepted offers can quickly be reassigned to other qualified candidates, helping institutions fill their admission quotas faster.

Tips to Avoid Losing Your Admission

To ensure you don’t miss out on your admission, here are some quick tips:

Check CAPS regularly: Log in at least twice a week to monitor your status.
Keep your SIM card active: Make sure your JAMB-registered phone line is not blocked or inactive.
Visit a CBT center early: If you encounter any problem, don’t wait until the last week to seek help.
Print your admission letter: Once accepted, print your letter immediately from the JAMB official portal.

What Happens After Accepting Admission?

Once you accept your admission, the next steps include:

Printing your JAMB admission letter.
Printing your original JAMB result slip (often required during clearance).
Proceeding to your chosen institution for physical screening and registration.

Institutions will not recognize your admission unless JAMB has confirmed it on CAPS.

If you’ve been given admission, don’t delay. Log in to JAMB CAPS today, or head to your nearest CBT center to complete the process. Remember, you only have one month to accept it—after that, your slot is gone.

The important notice to all Jambites for 2025/2026 admissions is clear: check your CAPS, accept your admission within one month, or risk losing it. This simple step could make the difference between starting your academic journey this year or waiting another year.

Take action now—visit CAPS or a CBT center, accept your offer, and secure your place in the institution of your choice. Your future starts with a single click.
