Admission Offered
"Admission Offered" means JAMB has approved the admission.
The candidate can accept or reject the offer through the stated JAMB channels.

"Admission in Progress", also displayed as AIP, means The Polytechnic Ibadan has reviewed the application and recommended the candidate for admission.
The recommendation is awaiting approval from the Head of Institution and a final JAMB review.
Recommended
"Recommended" means the school has considered the candidate and the application is awaiting JAMB review to confirm that the required criteria have been met.

"Not Admitted" means the candidate has not yet been selected for admission.
This status may appear where the relevant list has not been released or where the application is still under review.

How to Accept The Polytechnic Ibadan Admission
Candidates who receive an admission offer are required to accept or reject it through biometrics at an approved JAMB CBT centre or through the stated SMS method.
For SMS acceptance or rejection, the candidate should send:
ACCEPT
or
REJECT
to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number registered with JAMB.
The registered line must have up to ₦50 on the main airtime balance, as the stated process does not charge borrowed airtime or Xtra Credit.
JAMB Admission Letter After Acceptance
Candidates who accept the admission can then print the JAMB admission letter.
This step follows the successful acceptance of the admission offer.
JAMB CAPS Access on Mobile Phones
Some candidates using a phone may see only the JAMB CAPS welcome message and may not see the admission status option.
Chrome users can open the browser menu and select "Request desktop site" so the complete CAPS page is displayed.
The admission status option can then be accessed from the desktop view.
