2. You filled in incorrect data; JAMB registration Number

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.

• 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.

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?

If after following these tips above you still get this feedback prompt then it would mean that you created your JAMB profile manually on the JAMB e-facility page and used that to log in to your profile without first connecting it with your JAMB registration details.
