CAPS is the acronym for the Central Admission Processing System portal. It is one of the innovations to admission processing introduced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for the 2017/2018 admissions process. Read more about how it works here.
1. Ensure you have active data bundle.
2. Open your favourite browser but I will advise you not to use Opera Mini.
3. Visit the JAMB CAPS admission checking portal using this link http://caps.jamb.gov.ng/acceptadmission.aspx
4. The CAPS Central admission portal home page will open.
5. Enter your JAMB registration number in the space where you will see
6. Click on the  button .
7. Your details including Jamb score, institution, date of birth,etc will appear.
8. If you are given admission and you like the school, then clickon
9. If the institution and course space is blank or  don’t click on accept admission. Just keep checking back.
10. Be very careful to accept admission when you are not offered or when you have hope of gaining admission in a better school.
11. Once you accept the admission offered you, your ‘admission door’ is closed for that year.
If you see ‘not admitted yet’ on your CAPS market place, it means your school hasn’t started giving admission and all you have to do is close the page and keep checking back. Don’t click on the accept admission TAB.
By the time your school of choice releases her admission list, you will not only see the “ACCEPT” icon but also a ‘DECLINE’ icon . You are enjoined not to click on the ‘ACCEPT’ icon until you receive an admission notification from your institution of choice.
If you mistakenly accepted admission when you have not been offered admission by any school yet, that would be an issue.
The main issue is when you have been offered admission in a particular school already and you accepted it. It then means that your door of admission for that year has closed. I wish you the best.
