UNILAG Admission List Now Available on JAMB CAPS

Unlike previous years when institutions sometimes uploaded the admission list directly on their portals, the 2025/2026 UNILAG admission list is accessible only through JAMB CAPS. This platform allows JAMB to regulate admissions, ensure merit-based transparency, and prevent institutions from offering unapproved admissions. Therefore, every candidate seeking admission into UNILAG must check their status on CAPS to confirm whether they have been offered provisional admission.

Once a candidate is offered admission on CAPS, it becomes mandatory to either Accept or Reject the offer before proceeding with any other activity. Failure to take action within the given timeframe may lead to forfeiture of the admission.

How to Check Your Admission Status on JAMB CAPS

Checking your admission status may seem challenging if you are using it for the first time, but the steps below will help you navigate it with ease.

Visit the JAMB E-Facility Portal

The first step is to log into your JAMB profile:

Go to https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/
Enter your registered email address and password
Click Login to access your personal dashboard

Your dashboard contains all the key functions related to your JAMB registration, UTME details, and admission processes.

Check Your Admission Status

Once you are logged in:

Select “Check Admission Status”
Click on “Access My CAPS”
A new page will open showing different options on the left-hand side

Go to “Admission Status” in the menu to view your admission result.

If your status shows “Congratulations, you have been offered admission!”, you have gained provisional admission to UNILAG for the 2025/2026 session.

If your status reads “Admission in Progress”, it simply means UNILAG is still considering your application. You are advised to keep checking regularly.

In cases where the status states “Not Admitted”, do not panic yet, as admission lists are often released in batches. Continue to check daily.

How to Accept or Reject Your Admission on JAMB CAPS

Once you confirm that you have been offered admission, the next step is to choose whether to Accept or Reject the offer. This decision is extremely important:

To Accept: Send ACCEPT to 55019 or 66019
To Reject: Send REJECT to the same number

Make sure you send the SMS using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile, as CAPS only recognizes commands from that specific line.

N/B: For lost or blocked phone numbers, visit any JAMB-accredited CBT centre. They will assist with accepting or rejecting the admission on your behalf.

Deadline for Acceptance

All candidates must accept their admission within four (4) weeks from the time it is offered. Failure to do so may automatically result in forfeiture and replacement with another qualified candidate.

Once you have accepted your admission on CAPS, follow these steps:

Print Your JAMB Admission Letter

This document is important because UNILAG requires it during:

Physical clearance
Documentation
Registration
Hostel allocation (where applicable)

Print Your JAMB Original Result Slip

This is also needed for screening. Ensure it includes your photograph.

Prepare for UNILAG Clearance

UNILAG will release the clearance date, requirements, and guidelines shortly. Candidates are expected to provide needed documents such as:

O’level results
Birth certificate
Local government identification
Passport photographs
JAMB admission letter
WAEC/NECO scratch cards (if applicable)

Important Notice for Mobile Phone Users

Many candidates using smartphones often complain that they cannot see the full CAPS page. In most cases, this happens because the page is not displayed in desktop mode.

To fix this:

Use the Google Chrome browser on your phone
Tap the three dots at the top-right corner
Select “Request Desktop Site”
Reload the CAPS page

After doing this, the complete CAPS menu will appear, including Admission Status, Course Transfer, OTP, and other essential options.

Conclusion

The release of the UNILAG 2025/2026 admission list marks an important milestone for every aspiring student. With careful attention to the steps above, candidates can easily check their admission status, accept their offer, and proceed smoothly into the next phase of their academic journey. UNILAG remains one of the most competitive institutions in Nigeria, and earning a place on its admission list is truly a commendable achievement
