Once you accept admission from one institution through JAMB CAPS, JAMB will block other institutions from offering you admission for that academic year.
You're on the right page if you seek answers to a series of questions including, who gives admission between JAMB or school? If JAMB, can it give admission from two or more schools to a candidate on CAPS? If schools, can a candidate gain admission into two schools at the same time? etc.
I covered a great deal of what JAMB CAPS is in my Post “CAPS: System Through Which JAMB Will Give Admission to Aspirants”. I made a brief reference to it also in, “4 Stages that Follow Writing JAMB UTME”.
So if you find yourself on this page by search, you may likely want to know more or wish to find the answer to the above question and a series of related concerns.
I write to address this question after I received a voice note from a concerned candidate. She wanted to know if she has been offered admission by a school through JAMB CAPS and if she has accepted it and if it was possible for another school to offer her admission.
Many admission seekers are in the same dilemma and you should read to the end to get answers.

The Purpose of JAMB CAPS
The very reason why JAMB introduced CAPS is to prevent multiple admissions among other things. JAMB is instituted to ensure no student is offered admission into two schools while other candidates are forced to be home.In other words, JAMB checks how admissions are being offered by every school and makes sure no one is offered by two different institutions.
Ok, let’s see how the body achieves this.

Once You Accept Admission from One Institution, Other Chances are Blocked
As soon as the admission exercise begins, each applicant can monitor his or her admission progress. This can be done by regularly logging into your JAMB profile.At a time, you will see “Admission is in progress”. Later, you see, “You have been recommended for admission” etc. I detailed these messages, their interpretations, and their orders in the post referred to above - CAPS: System Through Which JAMB Will Give Admission to Aspirants. But at the very end of the admission year, you will be presented with a school that has offered you admission - if any.
NOTE
- This school will be one of the schools you wrote their post UTMEs and passed or partook in their screening exercises so to say.
- A strange school (the one you didn't choose) is not likely going to offer you admission. Only expect admissions from schools you chose and partook in their post-UTME/screening exercises.
- However, it's possible to be offered admission by a strange institution. See details on how this is possible in the post, "Given Admission by A School You Didn't Choose? See Why and What To Do".
If your CAPS displays a school that has offered you admission, you will be given options to “Accept” or “Reject” it.
That’s where your fate is decided.
Effects of CAPS “Accept” OR “Reject”
If you accept the offer- Immediately you accept the admission, you’re automatically a new student of that institution and you can’t reject such an offer later unless you don’t want to go to the school any longer or want to defer.
- Then, JAMB blocks any other schools from offering you admission even if you’ve partaken in their post-UTMEs/Screenings.
- First, you don’t have to reject an admission offer unless you’ve partaken or will partake in other schools’ post-UTMEs/screenings. In other words, don’t reject an offer unless you believe another school will surely (by merit or connection) offer you admission.
- After rejecting the offer, JAMB opens you up to any other school to offer you admission. The body will inform the rejected institution that you’d declined and should replace you with another lucky student.
- Sooner, if you’re lucky, the school you hope for will also offer you admission and then you can accept the offer. For this, you will keep rechecking your CAPS status to know when you’ve been given by another school.

What is the way out?
With the state of admission in Nigeria, most candidates open themselves up to opportunities that come to their way. Most applicants have even resolved to consider programmes including; pre-degree, Nursing, Health Tech, and Hygiene Schools, IJMB, JUPEB, Cambridge A’level, Daily Part-time and Sandwich – just to leave home.Meanwhile, some candidates are so determined about certain schools and courses. Some are OAU, UI, UNILAG, UNILORIN, UNIBEN, UNN, and ABU fanboys. If you’re one of these adamant admission seekers, you’ve to be careful about CAPS and how you partake in the admission activities for the year.
Below are your takes.
- You could have selected four schools in UTME, your most desired school should be your No. 1
- You should only change to another school as your first choice if you've COMPLETELY changed your mind about the new school.
- Don’t partake in post-UTMEs or screenings of several schools. Stick to the ones you want most.
- And eventually, in most cases, it’s the school you do her post UTME or screening that is certain to offer you admission through CAPS.

Conclusion
For the same admission year, a candidate will not be offered two admissions, on the CAPS, except if the first offer is rejected. However, for different admission years, since the same profile will be used, a candidate can still be offered admission, on the JAMB CAPS, even though the last offer was accepted.

Sir,accepted admission last year on jamb caps but later changed my mind. This year, I registered for utme using the same email.
ReplyDeleteI have different reg numbers but the same profile code.
And although I was able to print this year's result, my admission status on caps is still showing that of last year.
Will jamb activate/update CAPS this year?
Will I gain admission even after accepting that of last year??
Thank you.
[email protected]
Sorry about your situation.
DeleteKindly note that JAMB may not update your CAPS because you'd already been offered admission.
I suggest you visit the school that offered you admission last year. They will give you rejection of admission letter.
Then, take it to JAMB office nearest to you. They, will process this and reopen you for another school that may want to offer you admission this year.

You will need to visit the school that you admission last and collect rejection of admission letter.
DeleteSubmit that to the JAMB office near you. Then, wait for them to open the space for new school to enter.

Please sir I did basic program in uniport and i was offered admission there but it wasn't the course I chose, are there chances of me getting another admission from jamb?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure you can.
DeleteSchools send the lists to JAMB before you can see your names on CAPS. Hence, if you school send their lists, tit will definitely be for the course offered to you through the basic programmes.
In fact JAMB doesn't give admission. See details here:

sorry please if a person gets two admissions from the same school and he accepted all of them how can he then reject one
ReplyDeletetwo admissions are showing on my caps
pls help
You can't get two admissions from the same school.
DeleteInitially uniport was my first choice of institution, because of impatient I changed it just after I changed it dat morning my caps start showing aip in d afternoon den d following day admitted, now I can't change back to uniport in other to print out admission letter
ReplyDeletethough that was my twice chance of changing
So it showing you can no longer change to this institution.have I lost d admission?
Sorry about your situation.
DeleteI'm sorry you won't be able to change back to those premier federal universities once they end their post UTMEs. Since UNIPORT post UTME form is closed, you can't change back to the university.
It's not because of two times chance. You can still change the third time or fourth if you wish. But UNIPORT and similar other competitive schools can be considered after the sales of post UTME forms.
To solve this problem, you can wait for the new school you changed to offer you admission. Then, visit them and collect rejection of admission letter. Take this to JAMB office so they can effect UNIPORT for you.
Things have changed this year and hopefully admission process might change too, I just checked my admission status, it says not admitted, so I was wondering why, secondly, I chose two schools and I have registered for post utme is one of the schools, im about tofto register for the other, I need advice please. If possible please drop your number so I can talk to you please. I might not have data always. Thanks a lot, 07016254753.thats my number
ReplyDeleteRegister for the second school if their adverts states they accept second choice. If otherwise, your first choice is the best shot.
DeleteMorning sir what if I was giving admission in another school and I did not attend the school
ReplyDeleteI changed to private but on my caps it is still showing the former school
That is possible. Nothing is wrong with it. You should continue with your private school. However, if it's a polytechnic or college of education and you later wants to do Direct entry admission to a university, you will need regularization. While going for NYSC too, you may need to do the same (which will be correction of admission letter).

Hello sir,I have been offered admission in a university ,but if I try to print my jamb admission letter it says "you have not been offered admission"what do you think the problem is?
ReplyDeleteYou should report this to your school. The disagreement is between the school and JAMB. They will rectify it. Read the posts below for more enlightenment on this.

Which engineering course can I be given in futa with 198 as jamb score
ReplyDeleteWhat you need is the aggregate score to gain admission into FUTA, not just the JAMB score. Find out the list of the engineering courses at the university. Then, calculate your potential aggregate score so you can make the right choice.
DeleteHello sir, pls whatz d agg score for uniport pol sc. and Admin studs, i scored 227 in jamb, but my Waec result made me have a low score in post utme, i scored 104, what are my chances this yr pls, and how do they calculate the agg score? thanks

DeleteI have been offered admission by a school i didn't apply for
DeleteAnd it's not my choice
Can i still be given admission by another school?
Because i have not accepted it and it's not my choice
Please sir can someone reject admission after accepted it
ReplyDeleteBecause the person is offered admmison in another school
You have to collect rejection of admission letter form the first school and submit to the nearest JAMB office. This is the only way JAMB can offer you admission into another school.
DeleteHowever, you can still go for the other school and do JAMB change of admission later.
Please Sir I chose UNIBEN as my first choice in jamb and I registered for their post utme and before the post utme date I changed from UNIBEN to AAUA as my first choice in Jamb Caps and also registered for AAUA's Screening form,but some days after I changed I was sent a message to come and write my post utme in UNIBEN and I went to write it,and I passed along the line I later changed to UNIBEN can I still be offered admission by UNIBEN.
ReplyDeleteSince you've changed back to UNIBEN, they will offer you admission if you meet their admission requirements.
DeleteHowever, kind check if UNIBEN still the school on your CAPS before waiting for such and offer.

You will need to regularize the admission. In other words, you will need the correction of the admission. Read more through the link below.

Sir, I did both JUPEB and JAMB in the year 2019. However, I could not register with my JUPEB that year for some reasons and so I applied for admission with my JAMB and was given, but not for the course of my choice.
DeleteSo in 2020, I applied for admission into Direct Entry with my JUPEB in another University. And I am yet to receive admission.
Will CAPS still give me admission for the Direct Entry since I have been given one the previous year???
If you don't use the same profile, it will, if you merit the admission. Using the same profile, I don't think so.
DeletePls sir I accepted admission for jamb can I also gain admission for direct entry because I heard I can't be admitted in two schools and I'm scared cos i don't really like the jamb course I want the direct entry so can I still gain admission for DE
ReplyDeleteIf it is different JAMB profiles you used, YES you can still be offered the DE admission. But if the same profile, you may be out of luck.
DeletePlease,jamb offered me admission (unilorin) and it asked me to do change of course. When I got to the cafe, those people said they were unable to do it coz it's displaying the previous school I chosed.. please, what can I do

ReplyDeleteYes, you can be offered admission there again.
DeleteJamb offer me admission but the school hasn't can I still buy their supplementary form
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's possible for those who had obtained the main form to still obtain the supplementary form. But, if that is possible for your own school, you can obtain it too.
DeleteGood day sir, Jamb gave me the course I initially applied for but school gave me another course I shopped for but I accepted the course that Jamb gave me without waiting for them to send me transfer approval.What do I do to change the course to the one school gave me.
ReplyDeleteGo to school and show them your JAMB admission letter. They're likely going to change you to that course or ask you to change course on the JAMB portal through regularization.
DeleteGood day sir jamb gave me the course I initially applied for though my name was not in my school list, and jamb also gave me admission on the course I shopped for then my name was in the list, but I've accepted my initial course in caps already, what should I do?
ReplyDeletePrint your JAMB admission letter, take it to the school and explain what happens. They will advise rightly.
DeleteCan I register for my second choice screening process...and Hope it won't affect the first choice school admission
ReplyDeleteNo, it won't affect the first choice admission.

ReplyDeleteSo I would like to ask this, I'm processing lasu at the moment and I haven't gotten admission yet, but I got to know that my second choice which is OOU is still allowing registration for post utme, so my question is if I go for the exam , and perhaps the school decides to give me admission , will it be shown on Jamb caps for me to accept.
ReplyDeleteSir I open my jamb caps and I saw not admitted is it that am not given admission
ReplyDeletePls is there anyway to receive transfer approval twice from the same school
ReplyDeleteSir I registered fr both jamb and de using same profile,will it affect my admission status
