JAMB Explains Admission Statuses on CAPS for Candidates

Education

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) released an explainer video on September 17, 2026, clarifying the meanings of various admission statuses on its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). The statuses include "Not Admitted," which indicates that a candidate has not yet been offered admission but does not rule out future admission possibilities.

Candidates are advised to remain patient and continue checking their CAPS profiles. The "Admission in Progress" status means that an institution has started the admission process for a candidate, pending necessary approvals.

JAMB cautioned that this status does not guarantee admission, as the final decision rests with JAMB, which can decline offers if candidates do not meet requirements. The "Admitted" status is confirmed only after JAMB's formal approval, at which point candidates receive a congratulatory message and can accept or reject the offer.

JAMB emphasized that admission statuses are not permanent until the process is fully concluded.
