Nigeria Maritime University (NMU) has released its admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session, giving candidates a way to confirm whether admission has been offered through JAMB CAPS.
Candidates who applied for admission can check the status attached to their applications by signing in with their JAMB details.
NMU Admission Status Is Available on JAMB CAPS
At present, candidates can access their NMU admission status through JAMB CAPS.
The checking process follows these steps:
- Visit the JAMB eFacility portal.
- Sign in with the JAMB username and password.
- Scroll to Check Admission Status and select it.
- Select Access my CAPS.
- Open Admission Status to see whether NMU admission has been offered.
The response displayed on CAPS shows the current position of the candidate's application.
JAMB CAPS Admission Responses and Their Meanings
Candidates may see one of five responses after opening the Admission Status section.
Admission Offered
JAMB has approved the admission and the candidate can proceed to accept or reject the offer through the available JAMB process.
Admission in Progress
The school has reviewed the application and recommended the candidate for admission.
The recommendation is awaiting approval from the Head of Institution before JAMB completes its final review.
Recommended
The school has considered the candidate, while JAMB is still reviewing the application to confirm that the required criteria have been met.
Not Admitted
The candidate has not been considered or selected for admission at that point.
This status may appear because the school has not released the relevant list or because the application remains under review.
Pending
The application is still under review and no final decision has been made.
Offered Candidates Can Accept or Reject Admission
Candidates who have been offered admission are to accept or reject the offer through biometrics at an approved JAMB CBT Centre or by SMS.
For the SMS option, the candidate is to send ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 with the phone number registered with JAMB.
The main account should have up to N50 available, as JAMB does not charge the required amount from borrowed airtime or Xtra Credit.
After accepting the offer, the candidate can print the JAMB admission letter.
Phone Users May Need Desktop Mode
Some candidates using a phone may see only the welcome message after opening CAPS, while the Admission Status option may remain hidden.
Chrome is recommended for phone access. The candidate can open the browser options and choose Request desktop site, which should display the complete CAPS page and make the Admission Status section available.
