Federal Polytechnic, Damaturu has released its provisional admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session. Candidates who participated in the admission screening exercise can now check their status through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
The admission offers are currently accessible through JAMB CAPS. Applicants should sign in using their own JAMB details and check for any admission or programme-transfer decision.
How to check the Federal Polytechnic Damaturu admission list on JAMB CAPS
- Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal.
- Log in with the registered JAMB username and password.
- Scroll to Check Admission Status and select it.
- Choose Access my CAPS.
- Open Regular Admission Status to check for an offer from Federal Polytechnic, Damaturu.
The JAMB CAPS admission status guide also explains how candidates can access and manage their admission decisions.
Accepting or rejecting an admission offer
Candidates offered admission are to use the Accept Admission or Reject Admission option on CAPS. The announcement also gives an SMS alternative: send ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 from the mobile number registered with JAMB.
For the SMS option, candidates need at least ₦50 of main-account airtime, not borrowed airtime or Xtra Credit. After accepting an offer, the CAPS status changes to indicate that the admission has been accepted. Successful candidates can then print their JAMB admission letter.
What the JAMB CAPS admission messages mean
- Admission approved by JAMB: JAMB has approved an admission offer, which the candidate can accept or reject.
- Proposed for admission by your institution: The institution has recommended the candidate, but JAMB's review is still pending.
- Not admitted: No admission approval is showing at that point. Candidates should keep checking as institutions may upload offers in batches.
Programme transfer approval
Applicants offered admission to a course different from the one they originally selected must first review the proposed change under Transfer Approval in JAMB CAPS. Accepting the transfer allows the institution to consider the candidate for the new programme. Rejecting it means the proposed transfer will not take effect and the original course choice remains.
To see a transfer request, log in to JAMB e-Facility, open Check Admission Status, select Access my CAPS and then choose Transfer Approval.
Applicants should check their JAMB profiles regularly and respond promptly to any admission or transfer offer to avoid losing the opportunity.
