What is JAMB CAPS?
JAMB CAPS stands for the Central Admissions Processing System. This is a platform created by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to make the admission process easier and more transparent for students. Here, you can see if you’ve been offered admission, accept or reject the offer, and see other important updates about your application.
Why Use JAMB CAPS?
Before 2017, students would have to wait for their schools to release admission lists before knowing their status. Now, with JAMB CAPS, you can check your admission status online and even see if your admission is still in progress. This makes things faster and less stressful. Plus, you can accept or reject your admission offer directly on the platform.
