1. What is JAMB CAPS?
CAPS stands for Central Admission Processing System. It is a system designed by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board(JAMBS) to checkmate admission fraud and various admission irregularities.

2. Why JAMB CAPS?
CAPS makes a more transparent and fair admission process

2. What are the benefits of JAMB CAPS?
a. CAPS prevents fraud in admission process. Hence, ensuring candidates are not cheated.
b. It allows candidate to accept/reject admission and Market Place operations(see below)
c. It makes it possible for JAMB to confirm/verify results uploaded by candidates from various examination bodies like NECO, WAEC and NABTEB.


3. What processes are involved in the CAPS
a. Each Institution sets its Cut Off Marks and and other Institution-specific parameters such as other Admissions Criteria (e.g. Post UTME Screening) and carrying capacity on CAPS.

b. Institutions download (from CAPS) details of Candidates that meet the Institution’s and programme’s Cut Off Mark and had selected them as First Choice Institutions.

c. Candidates upload their SSCE results to JAMB.
No candidate will be considered for admission without the upload of his/her O’Level and/or A’ Level results.

d. Institutions may conduct Post UTME Screenings candidates

e. Results of Post UTME where applicable are uploaded to CAPS to obtain aggregate scores for the candidates

f. CAPS ranks and suggests candidates that meet the Institution’s Admissions Criteria as configured on the system by the Institution.

g. Institution reviews list of suggested candidates and forwards the list to JAMB upon confirmation

h. The JAMB (Admission Officer) reviews the Recommended Candidates to confirm they are from those initially sent to the Institution; met the Admissions Criteria as advertised in the brochure and as set on CAPS by the Institution, including upload of and confirm that no qualified candidate has been unjustly denied Admission.

i. JAMB generates a List of Provisional Admissions

j. JAMB notifies Candidates to Accept / Reject Admission

k. Candidate Accepts / Rejects Admission on the JAMB CAPS Portal within 72hours.

l. If Candidate Accepts Provisional Admission, JAMB updates Admission Status and forwards List of Confirmed Admissions to the Institution

m. Candidate prints Admission Letter and Proceeds to the Institution for further internal Admission Processing

n. Once a candidate accepts his or her admission. Such candidate no longer has the privilege to reject the admission and be scouted by other institutions in the market place.

p. If Candidate Rejects Admission, s/he becomes available in the Market Place for further possible consideration for Admissions.

4 What is CAPS Market Place?
The Market Place feature in CAPS provides flexibility for the Institutions to source for candidates who may not have earlier chosen the institution for Admission consideration.

5. How does the Market Place work?
a. Institutions may specify various selection parameters such as UTME score, State/ Local Government, Gender, preferred programmes /course of the Candidates.

b. The List of Candidates so selected from the Market Place are then pushed to JAMB who then notify the Candidates of Market Place consideration by Institutions. Candidate may Accept / Reject Market Place consideration, subject to a maximum of three (3) Market Place considerations at a time.

c. The Candidates could also approach the Market Place to announce availability for Admission consideration from any institution or for any programme different from those earlier indicated during the UTME Registration, provided s/he has requisite O’ Level Results and wrote the required subject combination in the UTME.

d. Any agreement or understanding on Admission consideration between the Institution and candidate based on Market Place operations will have to be effected with a requirement for the Candidate to effect a Change of Institution on the JAMB Portal to be available for Download by the new Institution to follow the subsequent steps in the Admission Process.

5. How secured is the JAMB CAPS?
The CAPS system has been designed to be fool-proof and totally secured. No one can succeed in illegally manipulating it.


6. Can Institution reject candidates after being offered admission on CAPS?
The institution proposes a candidate and JAMB confirms it before such candidate is notified of admission on CAPS. In other words, only candidates that have been offered admission in their institutions are able to accept on CAPS, hence will not be rejected.


7. Should I accept my admission or wait for institutions to release the admission list first?
If you do not accept your admission on CAPS, you will never appear on your institution's admission list


8. I have been offered admission on CAPS but not on my institution's portal.
Your institution might not be through with the uploading of candidates to CAPS, hence, have not downloaded the list of candidates that have accepted their admission. You need to wait.


9. Can I be admitted by institution without seeing my admission on CAPS?
It is impossible to gain admission to any institution without passing through CAPS.



10. How do I check my CAPS Profile?
Log in your profile on www.jamb.org.ng/efacility. Select CAPS from the drop-down menu and follow the instruction prompt. You are advised to use a desktop or standard browsers like Google Chrome / Mozilla Firefox if you use a smartphone

hyfr:
please can somebody reupload? I have a relation who hasn't

I think he can still re-upload only that it might be too late. There is no harm in trying, though. At least, he can keep his hope up that way.

donblazer10:
finance to adult edu Ke?..lol..the combos are different nah..hw come?

Most departments in Faculty of Education usually lack willing aspirants. So, the university do not care what combo you have insofar they get someone in there.

That's why I called it a notorious example

According to the Registrar, if have all the UTME and Post-UTME requirements(met the Cut-Off marks) but doesn't have your SSCE, you will not be offered any course. And if you did not re-upload your SSCE when candidates were directed to, it will be assumed that you do not have the SSCE requirements, hence no admission

girlhaley:
I'm not understanding this cap of a thingy oh


My Lil cousin change his course from Geology to Geography and Environmental Management. On the caps portals,it's showing Geology. He asked around and people told him it'll reflect on unilorin's portal not jamb's cuz the changes were made on the school website.


Now,my question is how'll they give him admission to studied the course he changed to since Geology is still boldly on the caps portal....he's brooding over that for days,guess i'll get some answers here. I mean what's the fate of those who changed course?

NB: It was Unilorin that suggested he should change course.




Cc: HomoSapiien

You have to wait. Time will give the best response to your question.

But I don't think changing aspirants' course on CAPS portal is any difficult for Unilorin. Some aspirants' course have already been changed by the university. The most notorious example of this is someone whose course was changed from Finance to Adult Education.

Tell your coz to put his mind at rest. If he has changed his course on the university portal, then the university will help him change change it on JAMB CAPS .

HomoSapiien:
Of course not. You didn't attend to my question. Is 299 and 72 too small for admission?

Did you re-upload your SSCE results in August?

Perve sorry to quote but her vocabulary isn't that expanded to deserve such appreciation. That's misuse to English language.

tellsblinks, you don't understand the way of toasting yet. You compliment anything, as a means of flattery, just to gain her attention.
