Meaning of Admission in Progress (AIP) check back later
According to the Joint admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Admission in progress on JAMB CAPS means that the student has been recommended for admission and currently undergoing processing.
If you read my post on differences between JAMB and School admission, you would have understood by now that the admission of student cannot be done by Schools alone neither can JAMB admit students without the university’s approval.
What this means is that both JAMB and Schools (Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education) work hand in hand in collating and admitted students to the various courses and Institutions in Nigeria.
How does this now relate with my admission status; Admission In progress in JAMB??♂️
Good question, you see, the school you applied to is responsible for granting admission to students (that I have explained here), so after deciding on the students that are worthy of admission, they send the list (recommendation) to JAMB.
Once this list gets to JAMB, JAMB reviews the list and check if the students admitted actually meet the requirement for the stipulated course, if after checking, the board (JAMB) is satisfied with the process followed by the University in recommending a student for admission
The admission in progress status would change to admitted, thereby allowing the student to accept or reject the admission.
In summary
The admission in progress status on JAMB CAPS simply means, the school you choose in JAMB has recommended you for admission, but JAMB is yet to certify if your admission is fair.
Once confirmed, the admission in progress will be changed to admitted, else not admitted.
From the information above, you will agree with me that, the admission in progress will in a long run either change to Admitted or Not Admitted, pending on the decision taken by JAMB.
With this, the next logical question that comes to mind is, How long will it take for Admission in Progress to change to Admitted or not admitted?
How Long Will It Take For Admission In Progress To Change To Admitted?
Typically, it takes two (2) to three (3) days for admission in progress to change to Admitted, it does take longer to change to not admitted, but sincerely, there is no fixed date for this change.
This is what JAMB has to say on the matter; as shown in the image below…
From the image above, you will see that, there is not fixed date for which admission in progress is expected to change, what determines the time is JAMB clarification period.
It can take two (2) days or run into weeks or even months, but taking longer means that JAMB is not satisfied with the admission and will most likely turn “not admitted” when the University does the needful.
This can be proved by the response from JAMB official twitter handle to a concerned students as shown in the image below…
So, if it takes a shorter time, then there is a higher chance of being admitted, but this does not mean if yours takes a longer time, like a month or so, it must change to not admitted, No.
I have seen students with their JAMB CAPS showing admission in progress for close to a month, but later changed to admitted.
What To Do If Your Admission In Progress Stays For a long time
If you observe that your admission in progress keeps showing for a long time (over a month), then you must look out for the following and see how you can fix it.
- Make sure your course or institution is not changed
- Also confirm if your O’ level result was successfully uploaded
- If not, do well to Upload your O’ level result before the deadline for upload
Next on the list is recommended…
Meaning of Not Admitted on JAMB CAPS
JAMB CAPS Not Admitted means that, you were denied admission by the school you applied for, this could be because you either did not meet up with your School’s required cut off mark for admission
Or you did not have at least five (5) credits in your core courses in O’ level (WAEC, NECO or NABTEB), or probably did not upload your O’ level result to JAMB.
What To Do If JAMB CAPS Says Not Admitted
If your JAMB Caps shows not admitted or admission in progress changes to Not admitted, then the next best thing to do to check JAMB Market place, at JAMB market place, you stand a chance to be admitted by other Universities (mostly private or new Universities though).
I will prepare a detailed guide on how you can check JAMB market place for admission soon, you can subscribe to this blog to be notified when published or follow me on my various social media handle.
With this, I hope you now understand the difference and meaning of Admission in progress and not admitted on JAMB CAPS, I will now attempt to answer some of the frequently asked questions on JAMB CAPS terms…ENJOY!
