How To Fix ‘Not eligible to use this service’ on JAMB Caps
Now that we know the causes / reasons why you keep receiving this error, I guess it will be easy to resolve now right?. I will highlight steps you should take for each possible cause of this error…
1. You selected the wrong Year in JAMB
This is the common cause of this error.
Students who have registered for JAMB before fail to select the correct year while trying access their JAMB CAPS Page, so what happens here is that, each time you login with your JAMB profile details, the year shown on your profile by default is different from the current year in question.

- Log in to JAMB website @https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/
- At the homepage where you see “Examination Year” Enter the correct examination year which in this case will be “2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)”
- After that locate the left Sidebar menu by your left and select “Check Admission Status” (for those using mobile phones you can locate this after clicking on the Menu button on top page to your right).
- Then click on the “Access JAMB CAPS” on the next page.
Tada, solved right?
This method would only work if the cause of the error is as a result of inputting the wrong JAMB year, follow the guide above and you will be fine if this is the case.
2. You filled in incorrect data; JAMB registration Number
Yes, this can also be the reason you are getting this error. In order to resolve this, Recheck your JAMB registration Number and this time make sure it corresponds exactly with what you have on your JAMB Registration slip.
3. You did not Register JAMB for the Intended Year
Make sure the year you are checking for is the year you registered for (this is very important).
After making sure the above three (3) are correct click on the ‘Access JAMB CAPS button‘ Tada, solved right?

I added my o Level result while registering for jamb.
Any solution?
Hey Femi, this error is not specific to you, as the server can be overwhelmed due to the high volume of traffic it is getting.
I would recommend you give it some time and try again.
Alright,thanks sir.
I’ll be glad to get a verified answer to these questions:
Like when should I try it next?
Hope that’s not what it’ll bring out if I’ve not uploaded my results?
I’ve done my institution online screening, hope it won’t be too late if I discover my o level result has not been uploaded?
No, it won’t bring that out if O’level Result is not uploaded.
You should access the portal again, and check if your O’level was successfully uploaded.
As regards to whether or not it will affect your admission if not uploaded, it will if your school have started admission processing. So you should confirm and do the needful as soon as you can.
