Federal Polytechnic, Bida, has released its third-batch admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session. The list contains the names of candidates offered admission into various programmes at the institution.
Prospective students can check the list on the polytechnic's notice board to confirm whether they have been offered admission. The release follows the first and second batches of the Federal Polytechnic Bida 2026/2027 admission list.
How to check admission on JAMB CAPS
After checking the notice board, candidates should also review their admission status on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
- Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal.
- Log in with the registered JAMB username and password.
- Choose Check Admission Status.
- Select Access my CAPS.
- Open Regular Admission Status to see whether Federal Polytechnic Bida has offered admission.
Further guidance on the admission interface is available in the JAMB CAPS admission guide.
How to accept or reject an admission offer
Candidates offered admission can accept or reject it directly on JAMB CAPS by selecting Accept Admission or Reject Admission.
The admission instructions also provide an SMS option: send ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number registered with JAMB. Candidates using this option need at least ₦50 in their main airtime balance; borrowed airtime or Xtra Credit cannot be used.
After accepting an admission offer and confirming the acceptance status on CAPS, candidates should print their JAMB admission letter and follow the polytechnic's instructions for the next admission stage.
What JAMB CAPS admission statuses mean
- Admission approved by JAMB: The candidate can accept or reject the offer.
- Proposed for admission: The polytechnic has recommended the candidate for admission, pending JAMB's review.
- Not admitted: An approved admission offer is not currently shown on CAPS.
How to respond to a programme transfer
Applicants offered a transfer to a programme different from their original choice should log in to the JAMB e-Facility portal, select Check Admission Status, open Access my CAPS and choose Transfer Approval.
Accepting a transfer allows the institution to consider admission into the new programme. Rejecting it retains the candidate's original programme choice. Candidates should check CAPS regularly because admission offers are released in batches and respond promptly when an admission or transfer offer appears.
