When will JAMB start giving admissions in 2025? Learn how JAMB CAPS works, when schools release admission lists, and how to accept your offer online.
Understanding How JAMB Admission Works
Every year, candidates ask the same question: “When will JAMB start giving admissions?” Others wonder why their school has offered them admission but it is not showing yet on the JAMB CAPS portal.
The answer is simple: JAMB does not directly give admission. Instead, it validates and approves admissions already offered by universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. Knowing how this process works will help you avoid unnecessary panic.
Step-by-Step Process of JAMB Admission in 2025
1. Institutions Offer Admission
The first step starts with your school of choice. Universities, polytechnics, and colleges decide who to admit based on:
- Post-UTME or screening performance
- Departmental requirements
- Cut-off marks set by the institution
Your school compiles a list of successful candidates and sends it to JAMB.
2. JAMB Confirms and Approves
Once schools forward their lists, JAMB uses the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) to review them. JAMB’s role is to:
- Ensure candidates meet the minimum admission requirements
- Confirm compliance with the government’s admission policies
- Approve the admission officially
3. Admission Reflects on Portals
After JAMB approval, your admission status will show on both:
- The school portal
- The JAMB CAPS portal
Sometimes, the school portal updates before JAMB CAPS, while in other cases, JAMB reflects first. This is why you should keep checking both platforms.
You can access JAMB’s admission portal here: JAMB e-Facility Portal.
4. Accepting or Rejecting on CAPS
Once your admission appears on CAPS, you must take action. Candidates are required to either ACCEPT or REJECT the offer. This can be done via:
- SMS to 55019 or 66019
- Visiting an accredited JAMB CBT centre for biometric verification
- Logging in directly to JAMB CAPS
Failure to accept means JAMB cannot issue your admission letter.
5. JAMB Issues Admission Letter
After acceptance, JAMB will officially generate your admission letter. This letter is very important as it confirms your status as a bonafide admitted student. You will need it for school registration, NYSC mobilization, and other official purposes.
When Will Schools Start Giving Admission in 2025?
Many institutions have already begun releasing their 2025 admission lists, while others will release them in the coming weeks once post-UTME results, screenings, and departmental processes are completed.
If your status still shows “NOT ADMITTED”, don’t panic. Admissions are usually released in batches. Candidates who meet the requirements may see their status update at any time during the admission cycle.
Key Takeaways on JAMB Admissions 2025
To summarize:
- Schools offer admission based on performance and requirements.
- JAMB validates and approves admissions through CAPS.
- Admission reflects on both JAMB and school portals.
- Candidates must accept or reject on CAPS.
- JAMB issues admission letters once accepted.
This is why it is correct to say: “JAMB does not give admission; JAMB approves admission given by schools.”
Stay Informed and Patient
If you are still waiting for your admission status in 2025, remember that the process is gradual. Keep checking your school portal and JAMB CAPS, and don’t fall for scams or third-party agents claiming they can “influence” admission.
Stay updated by following authentic news from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and your school’s official website.
Admissions may take time, but patience, vigilance, and following the right steps will guarantee you don’t miss your spot.
