What does JAMB admission status mean?
Your JAMB admission status tells you whether an institution has offered you admission and whether you need to take further action.

What does "Admission Offered" mean on JAMB CAPS?
If JAMB CAPS shows that admission has been offered, it means an admission offer has been made through the admission process.
You should carefully read the information displayed before taking the next step.
If the portal gives you the option to accept or reject the admission, make sure you select the option that corresponds with your decision.
What if my JAMB admission status says "Not Admitted"?
A "Not Admitted" status does not necessarily mean that the admission process is completely over.
Universities, polytechnics and colleges can continue processing admissions during the admission period.
If you have not been admitted, continue checking your JAMB profile and follow information from your chosen institution.
Do not assume that a temporary "Not Admitted" status automatically means you will never receive an offer.
What if my admission status is still processing?
If your admission has not been finalized, the portal may continue to show a status indicating that the process is ongoing.
In this situation, check the portal periodically for updates.
You should also check announcements from your institution because an institution may have its own admission list or screening process.
