The State University of Medical and Applied Sciences (SUMAS), Enugu, has published its admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session and candidates who took part in the admission exercise can now check their status.
Candidates currently access SUMAS admission status through JAMB CAPS.
Those who receive an admission offer can move to the acceptance stage through the stated JAMB channels.
SUMAS Admission Status Is Available on JAMB CAPS
Candidates can check their admission status through the JAMB EFacility portal.
The process requires the candidate's JAMB login details and access to the CAPS section.
A separate JAMB CAPS admission guide is also provided for candidates who need help with the checking process.
How to Check SUMAS Admission List
Candidates can use the following sequence:
- Visit the JAMB EFacility portal.
- Log in with the JAMB username and password.
- Scroll to Check Admission Status.
- Select Access my CAPS.
- Open Admission Status to see the current SUMAS admission decision.
The response displayed on CAPS will show the stage reached by the candidate's admission application.
JAMB CAPS Admission Status Meanings
JAMB CAPS may show one of several responses while admission is being processed.
Admission Offered
Admission Offered means JAMB has approved the candidate's admission.
The candidate can proceed to accept or reject the offer through the stated JAMB channels.
Admission in Progress
Admission in Progress, often shown as AIP, means SUMAS has reviewed the application and recommended the candidate for admission.
The recommendation is still passing through the stated approval stages before a final JAMB decision.
Recommended
Recommended means SUMAS has considered the candidate and the application is awaiting JAMB review.
The process has not reached the final admission-offer stage.
Not Admitted
Not Admitted means the candidate has not been selected or approved for admission at that point.
The supplied information states that this response may appear where the admission list has not covered the candidate or the application remains under consideration.
Pending
Pending means the application is still under review and no final admission decision has been displayed.
The candidate can continue to check CAPS for a later update.
How Admitted SUMAS Candidates Can Accept or Reject Admission
Candidates offered admission are expected to accept or reject the offer through the stated JAMB process.
One route is biometrics at an approved JAMB CBT centre.
Candidates may also send an SMS using the phone number registered with JAMB.
The message should contain:
ACCEPT or REJECT
and should be sent to 55019 or 66019.
The supplied information states that the registered phone line should have up to ₦50 on the main balance because the charge is not taken from borrowed airtime or Xtra Credit.
Candidates should check the response being submitted before completing the acceptance or rejection process.
JAMB Admission Letter After Acceptance
A candidate who accepts the SUMAS admission offer can proceed to print the JAMB admission letter.
The supplied JAMB admission letter guide covers this stage.
The admission letter is available after the candidate has completed the required acceptance process.
Checking SUMAS Admission Status on a Phone
Some mobile-phone users may see only the CAPS welcome page rather than the full admission-status options.
Chrome users can switch the page to desktop mode.
The candidate can open the Chrome menu and choose Request desktop site so the complete CAPS page can be displayed.
This allows access to the Admission Status section when the mobile view does not show it.
What Each Candidate Should Use as the Next Step
A candidate with Admission Offered can move to the acceptance or rejection stage.
AIP, Recommended and Pending responses show that the process has not reached the same final stage, so the candidate can continue checking CAPS for an updated decision.
A Not Admitted response means no admission offer has been displayed at that point.
