JAMB ENABLES DIRECT ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION OF ADMISSION OFFERS ON CAPS

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has enabled candidates to accept or reject their admission offers directly through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), providing an online alternative to the SMS method and visits to approved CBT centres.

The development allows candidates who have been offered admission to log in to their JAMB e-Facility accounts, access CAPS and respond to their admission offers through the available options on the portal.

Previously, candidates commonly relied on SMS commands sent to 55019 or 66019 using their registered phone numbers, or biometric verification at approved JAMB Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres, to accept or reject admission offers.

With the direct portal option available, candidates can complete the process online without necessarily relying on either of those methods, provided the relevant options are accessible on their profiles.
