How to Check Your JAMB 2026/2027 Admission Status (Accept or Reject):- The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially opened the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) portal for all 2026/2027 UTME and Direct Entry candidates. Through this platform, candidates can now check their admission status and either accept or reject admission offers from universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education in Nigeria. The process is quick and can be completed using a smartphone, tablet, or computer with an internet connection.

Candidates who fail to accept their offers on time risk losing their admission completely.
