The University of Ibadan (UI), one of Nigeria’s most prestigious institutions of higher learning, has officially released the admission list for the 2024/2025 academic session. Candidates who applied for undergraduate programs at UI can now check their admission status via the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). This announcement brings excitement and relief to thousands of candidates who have been eagerly waiting to find out if they have been offered admission into the university.

What is JAMB CAPS?

The JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) is an online platform introduced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to streamline the admission process for tertiary institutions in Nigeria. CAPS ensures transparency, fairness, and efficiency by allowing candidates to track their admission status in real-time, accept or reject offers, and manage the entire admission process online.

Through CAPS, JAMB regulates the admission process by ensuring that all admissions are merit-based and align with the requirements of the tertiary institutions and the government’s admission policies.

How to Check UI Admission Status on JAMB CAPS

Candidates who applied to the University of Ibadan and participated in the Post-UTME screening for the 2024/2025 academic session can now check their admission status by following these steps:

1. Visit the JAMB E-facility Portal: Go to the official JAMB e-facility portal at https://www.jamb.gov.ng/efacility.
2. Login to Your JAMB Profile: Enter your registered email address and password to log in to your JAMB profile.
3. Navigate to the CAPS Section: Once logged in, locate and click on the “Check Admission Status” tab. You will be redirected to the CAPS portal.
4. Check Admission Status: In the CAPS portal, select “Admission Status” to view whether you have been offered admission by UI.
5. Accept or Reject Admission: If offered admission, you can either accept or reject the offer. It is important to note that accepting the offer finalizes your admission, while rejecting it will release your slot to another candidate.
6. Print Admission Letter: After accepting the offer, candidates are advised to print their JAMB Admission Letter as this will be required for registration and other formalities at the university.

What to Do After Confirming Your Admission

Once a candidate has confirmed their admission status and accepted the offer on JAMB CAPS, the next step is to follow the University of Ibadan’s official guidelines for newly admitted students. These steps typically include:

1. Payment of Acceptance Fee: UI will require newly admitted students to pay an acceptance fee, which confirms their intent to enroll. This fee is usually non-refundable and must be paid within a specified time frame.
2. Document Verification: Candidates will be required to submit their original academic credentials, including their O-Level results, JAMB result slip, birth certificate, and other relevant documents, for verification.
3. Registration and Course Enrollment: After verifying documents, students will proceed to complete their registration and course enrollment for the semester. Details about this process will be communicated by the university.
4. Hostel Accommodation: Admitted students interested in residing on campus will need to apply for hostel accommodation, following the university’s procedure for room allocation.

1. How do I know if I have been admitted to UI?

You can check your admission status on the JAMB CAPS portal by logging into your JAMB profile and following the steps outlined above.

If your status reads “Not Admitted,” it means that UI has not offered you admission yet. However, the admission process is ongoing, so you should continue to check CAPS regularly for updates.

The admission process is handled in batches. If your name does not appear on the first list, it is possible that subsequent lists will be released. Keep checking the JAMB CAPS portal regularly.
