Meaning of “Admission in Progress” and “Not admitted” on JAMB CAPS
If you are reading this article, you probably have completed your Post UTME exam successfully and are waiting for your admission status. Congratulations on your achievement! In this article, we will explain what JAMB Caps is and what it means when you see ‘Admission in Progress’ or ‘Not Admitted’ on your JAMB Caps portal.
JAMB Caps is a system that allows you to check and accept or reject your admission offer from any institution in Nigeria. You can access it by logging in to your JAMB profile and clicking on ‘Check Admission Status’. You will see the name of the institution and the course that you have been offered admission for, if any. You can then choose to accept or reject the offer by clicking on the appropriate button.
However, sometimes you may see a different message on your JAMB Caps portal, such as ‘Admission in Progress’ or ‘Not Admitted’. What do these messages mean and what should you do? Let’s find out.
Meaning of Admission in Progress
When you see ‘Admission in Progress’ on your JAMB Caps portal, it means that you have been recommended for admission by the institution that you applied to, but your admission is still being processed by JAMB. This is because JAMB and the institutions work together to admit students into various courses and institutions in Nigeria. JAMB cannot admit you without the institution’s approval and vice versa.
Therefore, when an institution decides to admit you, they send a list of candidates to JAMB for verification and approval. JAMB then checks if you meet the requirements and if there are any issues with your documents or data. If everything is okay, JAMB will approve your admission and change your status to ‘Admitted’. If there are any problems, JAMB will contact you or the institution to resolve them.
Meaning of Not Admitted
When you see ‘Not Admitted’ on your JAMB Caps portal, it means that you have not been offered admission by any institution yet. This may be because the institution that you applied to has not released its admission list yet or because you did not meet the cut-off mark or other criteria for admission. In this case, you will have to wait for the admission process to be completed or apply for a change of course or institution.
To apply for a change of course or institution, you need to visit the JAMB website and click on ‘Change of Course/Institution’. You will need to pay a fee and fill an online form with your new choices. You can only do this once and before the deadline, so make sure you choose wisely.
We hope this article has helped you understand what JAMB Caps is and what it means when you see ‘Admission in Progress’ or ‘Not Admitted’ on your JAMB Caps portal. Remember to always use your correct details and follow the instructions from JAMB and your preferred institution. We wish you all the best in your admission process.
