JAMB CAPS Admission Status Meanings
Candidates may see one of five responses when checking ABSU admission status.
Admission Offered
"Admission Offered" means JAMB has approved the admission.
The candidate can proceed to accept or reject the admission offer through the stated JAMB process.
Admission in Progress
"Admission in Progress" means ABSU has reviewed the application and recommended the candidate for admission.
The recommendation is awaiting approval from the Head of Institution before the final JAMB review.
Recommended
"Recommended" means ABSU has considered the candidate and the application is awaiting JAMB review to confirm that the required criteria have been met.
Not Admitted
"Not Admitted" means the candidate has not yet been selected for admission.
The status may appear because the relevant admission list has not yet been released or because the application remains under review.
Pending
"Pending" means the application is still under review and a final decision has not been made.
How to Accept or Reject ABSU Admission
Candidates who have been offered admission are to accept or reject the offer through biometrics at an approved JAMB CBT centre.
The offer can also be accepted or rejected through SMS. The candidate is to send ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number registered with JAMB.
The registered line needs up to N50 on the main airtime balance. The stated process does not charge borrowed airtime or Xtra Credit.
How to Print the JAMB Admission Letter
A candidate who has accepted the admission offer can proceed to print the JAMB admission letter.
The admission letter is printed after the admission offer has been accepted.
How to View ABSU Admission Status on a Phone
Some phone users may open JAMB CAPS and see only the welcome message, without the Admission Status option.
Chrome can be used in desktop mode to display the complete CAPS page. The candidate can open the Chrome menu and select Request desktop site, after which the full page should appear.
ABSU Admission Status Actions
Candidates who see "Admission Offered" can move to the acceptance or rejection stage.
Those with "Admission in Progress", "Recommended" or "Pending" can continue checking CAPS for an updated decision. A "Not Admitted" response means admission has not yet been offered.
