The University of Ibadan (UI) has commenced the uploading of admission offers for the 2026/2027 academic session on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board's Central Admissions Processing System (JAMB CAPS).

The development is important news for candidates who participated in the University of Ibadan's 2026/2027 admission exercise and have been waiting to know whether they have been offered admission.

Candidates are therefore advised to start checking their admission status on the JAMB CAPS portal regularly, as admission offers are being processed and uploaded in batches.

The development comes after the University of Ibadan conducted its 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening exercise and subsequently made the screening results available to candidates through its official admission portal.

UI 2026/2027 Admission List Upload Begins

Information available as of Friday, September 4, 2026, indicates that the University of Ibadan has started uploading candidates' admission offers to JAMB CAPS for the 2026/2027 academic session.

The uploading process is expected to take place in stages rather than all candidates receiving admission at the same time.

This means that some candidates may see an admission offer on their JAMB CAPS profile earlier than others.

Candidates whose status has not changed should therefore not immediately conclude that they have not been considered for admission.

JAMB's CAPS system allows institutions to process admissions in batches, while candidates can monitor their admission status through the platform.

What Is JAMB CAPS?

CAPS means Central Admissions Processing System.

It is the platform developed by JAMB to automate the admission process into Nigerian tertiary institutions.

According to JAMB, CAPS allows institutions to process admissions electronically and gives candidates the opportunity to monitor their admission status and respond to admission offers.

The system also provides different stages of admission processing, including candidates who are recommended, approved and those whose offers have been accepted.

Therefore, candidates seeking admission into the University of Ibadan should pay close attention to their JAMB CAPS profile during the ongoing admission exercise.

How to Check University of Ibadan Admission Status on JAMB CAPS

Candidates can check whether UI has offered them admission by following these steps:

Step 1: Log in to JAMB e-Facility

Visit the official JAMB e-Facility platform and log in using the email address and password associated with your JAMB profile.

Step 2: Select "Check Admission Status"

After logging in, locate and select the Check Admission Status option.

Step 3: Access CAPS

Select the appropriate examination year and click on Access My CAPS.

Step 4: Select Admission Status

On the CAPS dashboard, select Admission Status.

Your current admission status will be displayed if an admission decision has been processed.

Candidates should note that the JAMB CAPS platform is the official system used for processing and communicating JAMB-recognised admission offers.

What Different JAMB CAPS Statuses Mean

Candidates may see different messages while checking their CAPS profiles.

"Not Admitted"

If your CAPS status shows Not Admitted, it does not necessarily mean that the admission exercise has completely ended.

Since UI's admission offers are being processed in stages, candidates whose names have not yet been uploaded may need to continue checking their profiles.

"Admission in Progress"

An Admission in Progress status may indicate that the candidate's admission is still undergoing processing.

Candidates should remain patient and continue monitoring their profiles.

"Admitted"

If your status changes to Admitted, congratulations! This means an admission offer has been made available to you through CAPS.

Candidate is expected to either Accept or Reject the Admission offer.

The candidate should then follow the instructions on the CAPS platform to respond to the offer.

What Should Admitted Candidates Do?

Candidates who receive an admission offer should carefully review the details of the offer, including the institution and programme.

If the offer is the admission they want, they should accept it through JAMB CAPS.

JAMB's admission guidelines provide for candidates to accept or reject admission offers through CAPS. After accepting an offer, candidates can proceed to print their JAMB admission letter.

Candidates should not ignore an admission offer after it appears on CAPS.

What If Your Admission Status Still Says "Not Admitted"?

Candidates whose status remains Not Admitted should not panic.

The University of Ibadan's admission process is ongoing, and admission uploads can occur at different stages.

JAMB's CAPS system specifically supports batch processing of admissions, meaning candidates may receive offers at different times.

Candidates should:

• Check their JAMB CAPS regularly.


• Ensure their O'Level results are properly uploaded.


• Confirm that their personal information is correct.


• Continue monitoring the UI admission portal.


• Avoid paying anyone who claims they can "upgrade" or guarantee an admission offer.

No legitimate individual can guarantee a JAMB CAPS admission outside the official admission process.

UI Candidates Should Also Check Their Post-UTME Results

The University of Ibadan has officially announced that the 2026/2027 Post-UTME Screening Exercise results are available online.

Candidates can log into the UI admission portal using their credentials to check their screening results.

This makes it important for candidates to monitor both their UI admission portal and JAMB CAPS during the admission exercise.

Candidates should remember that checking only one platform may not give them the complete picture of their admission progress.

UI 2026/2027 Admission Cut-Off Marks

The University of Ibadan has also published its 2026/2027 admission cut-off marks for various programmes.

The cut-off marks differ depending on the programme. For example, the published figures include 80.00 for Medicine and Surgery, 74.50 for Nursing Science, 71.00 for Law, 70.375 for Pharmacy, and 69.50 for Accounting under the merit category. Other programmes have different cut-off marks.

Candidates should therefore compare their aggregate scores with the requirements for their chosen programme while waiting for admission decisions.

Meeting a cut-off mark, however, should not automatically be interpreted as a guarantee of admission, because admission depends on the University's overall selection process and available spaces.

Why Candidates Should Check CAPS Regularly

Candidates should make it a habit to check their JAMB CAPS profiles regularly during the admission period.

An admission offer may be uploaded without every candidate receiving the offer at exactly the same time.

JAMB's CAPS system provides candidates with access to their admission status and allows them to respond to offers electronically.

Candidates should also ensure that they have access to the email address and phone number associated with their JAMB registration in case important notifications are sent.

Important Warning to UI Candidates

Candidates should beware of fraudulent individuals claiming to have access to the University of Ibadan or JAMB admission system.

Do not give your JAMB password, profile details or other sensitive login information to strangers.

Also, do not pay anyone who claims they can guarantee admission or manually place your name on the JAMB CAPS admission list.

JAMB has stated that admission into tertiary institutions is processed through CAPS, and its guidelines make clear that admissions must be properly processed and recognised through the Board's system.

Official University of Ibadan Admission Portal

Candidates can also continue monitoring the University's official undergraduate admission portal for updates concerning the 2026/2027 admission exercise.

The University of Ibadan's official admission portal provides candidates with access to admission-related information and currently carries updates relating to the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
