  4. Hello sir my school portal says admission still in progress but my jamb says NOT admitted what does it mean

    1. Hey Wisdom, you will have to wait for admission on any of the portal (your school of choice or JAMB), admission in one would reflect admission in the other

  5. Hello sir, I was given “NOT ADMITTED” in my jamb portal which is correct since my school didn’t give me admission to my selected course, but instead offered me admission to another course. I was told to check my transfer approval in my jamb portal to accept the offered admission which I did and it came out totally different from the one school offered me, I waited for some months thinking the error might be corrected before accepting the admission but it didn’t, I’m confused and don’t know what to do now sir any help?
    Sorry about the name though (12345) as the website kept saying error whenever I input my real name,
    My name is Jeffrey sir

    1. Good day Jeffrey, the course shown on JAMB CAPS is the course your institution transfered you to.

      Unless you can confirm otherwise on your school portal, you should stick to this.

  6. Hello sir, I was given “Not admitted” in my jamb portal which is correct since my school didn’t give me admission to my selected course but instead gave me admission to another course, I was told to check the transfer approval section in my jamb portal which I did but jamb gave me a totally different course from what the school gave me, I’ve exercised patience for some months now but it still didn’t change I’m confused and don’t know what to do, any help sir?

  7. Please sir I have been offered admission by my school but my jamb caps is still showing Not Admitted. I already uploaded my O’level results since so what could be the problem

    1. Provided your admission have been confirmed on your school portal, it will definitely reflect on JAMB CAPS.

      Most likely, your school admission officer is yet to update names of admitted student to JAMB CAPS portal, you should exercise some patience.

  8. sorry when i check my jamb caps this afternoon is shows that ave been offered admission where as i checked my school portal but is still showing not yet admitted .am confused

  9. Please when I tried to enter applicant login it was telling me invalid username and password and that’s is what have been using from onset pls what can cause it

    1. Possible cause for this is that the school in question is yet to update the uploaded admission list on her portal, but be rest assured that since it shows on your JAMB CAPS it has been approved by your School.

      Cheers?

  10. Sir, but how do those people that use connection enter because most of them aren’t really qualified but yet receive admission. Wouldn’t jamb have approved it before giving the candidate admission?

  11. Hello

    I have been given admission by school but my jamb caps still saying admission has not been given yet.
    I thought it should have changed to admission in progress why is it like this ?

  12. Please sir? I want to ask if it’s necessary for jamb caps to show admission status as admitted before one proceed to obtain school admission form

    1. Hey Abiodun, provided you score above the minimum JAMB cut off mark for the school you applied to, you are eligible to obtain the school’s admission form once they are out for sales.

      Your caps will show you have been offered admission only when you have successfully registered for the Post UTME of the school in question and admitted. So, In summary, the trend is…

      Register for Jamb – Apply for the Post UTME of the school you choose in Jamb – check Admission Status once admission list is out.
