The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of the 2025 UTME, and candidates can now begin checking their admission status. This step is crucial because it determines whether you’ve been offered admission into your chosen institution.
In this guide, we’ll show you two reliable methods to check your JAMB 2025 admission status: through the JAMB CAPS portal and via SMS shortcode.
✅ What You Need Before Checking
- JAMB registration number
- Email address and password linked to your JAMB profile
- Internet-enabled device (for CAPS portal)
- Or, a mobile phone with SMS credit (for the shortcode method)
🔎 Method 1: Check via JAMB CAPS Portal
- Visit efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
- Log in with your registered email and password.
- On your dashboard, click “Check Admission Status.”
- Select your exam year (2025).
- Enter your JAMB registration number.
- Click “Access my CAPS.”
- On the left-hand menu, click “Admission Status.”
- If offered admission, details of the institution and course will appear.
- Click “Accept” to confirm or “Reject” if you do not wish to take the offer.
📱 Method 2: Check via SMS Shortcode
JAMB also allows candidates to check and respond to admission offers using SMS.
- Send ACCEPT or REJECT (in capital letters) to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number you registered with JAMB.
- You will receive a confirmation message showing your admission status.
⚠️ Note: This SMS must be sent from the same phone number used during JAMB registration. Standard SMS charges apply.
📌 What to Do After Checking
- If Admitted: Accept immediately and print your admission letter from the JAMB portal.
- If Not Yet Admitted: Keep checking regularly; schools upload lists in batches.
- If offered a Different Course: Decide whether to accept or reject. Accepting secures your spot, while rejecting means waiting for another offer.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I use another phone number to send the SMS?
No. You must use the exact phone number you registered with JAMB.
Q2: What if I mistakenly reject my admission?
Once rejected, you cannot reverse it. You’ll have to wait for another offer, so be careful before sending SMS or clicking “Reject” on CAPS.
Q3: My CAPS says “Not Admitted.” What does it mean?
It means your school has not yet uploaded your admission. Keep checking, as admissions are released in batches.
Q4: Do I still need to check my school’s portal?
Yes. Some schools publish admission lists on their portals or notice boards. Always confirm both on JAMB CAPS and your school’s website.
Q5: How much does the SMS cost?
Each SMS to 55019 or 66019 costs ₦50.
🎯 Final Thoughts
Checking your JAMB 2025 admission status is simple if you follow the right steps. Whether through the CAPS portal or the SMS shortcode (55019/66019), make sure you confirm your admission on time. Accepting early secures your place and allows you to proceed with clearance and registration at your school.
