JAMB Admission Letter 2026: 6 Steps to Check and Print Your CAPS Document

  • JAMB has outlined the steps candidates must follow to access and print their admission letter through the CAPS portal
  • The process requires candidates to log into their JAMB profile and navigate to the admission status section
  • Candidates must accept their admission on CAPS before they can proceed to print the official letter

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released a step-by-step guide showing candidates how to check and print their admission letter using the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).

The guidance, shared through the board's official "JAMB Explained" video series, walks candidates through the full process from logging in to obtaining a printed copy of their admission letter.

**How to Check Your JAMB Admission Letter**

According to JAMB, candidates are required to follow six steps to successfully access their admission letter:

1. Log into your JAMB profile 2. Click on "Check Admission Status" 3. Select "Access My CAPS" 4. Accept your admission on the portal 5. Proceed to print your admission letter

JAMB used its official branding and logo to authenticate the guide, signalling that the instructions represent the board's standard process for all admitted candidates.

The CAPS portal is the platform through which JAMB manages and confirms admissions into Nigerian tertiary institutions. Candidates who have not yet accepted their admission on CAPS may be unable to proceed with printing, making the acceptance step a critical part of the process.

**Why This Matters for UTME Candidates**

The admission letter is an important document for candidates transitioning from the UTME process into tertiary education. Many institutions require it as part of their own registration and matriculation procedures, meaning delays in printing could affect a student's ability to complete enrolment on time.

JAMB has previously advised candidates to keep printed copies of all official documents, including the original result slip and admission letter, for use throughout the admissions process.
