Accept within 4 weeks of the offer's release.</li> <li>Confirm the same offer on the UNIJOS admission status portal linked below: enter your JAMB registration number and click Get Started.</li> <li>Print your JAMB admission letter from the eFacility portal after accepting, and keep it for clearance and registration.</li> </ol> <h2>What to do after you are admitted</h2> <ul> <li>Accept the offer on JAMB CAPS within 4 weeks of its release. The university's official page states that the offer will only reflect on the UNIJOS portal after you have accepted it on CAPS.</li> <li>Print your JAMB admission letter. You will need it for clearance and registration.</li> <li>Check the UNIJOS portal and your email regularly for the acceptance fee, clearance and registration instructions for newly admitted students.</li> <li>If your status reads "Admission in Progress", keep checking CAPS: the university releases admission in batches, and a later list may carry your name.</li> <li>Make sure your O'Level results are uploaded on JAMB CAPS.

An unanswered offer can be withdrawn, and the university's own page ties portal reflection to acceptance within 4 weeks.</li> <li>Checking only the university portal and never opening CAPS. The offer is made on CAPS first, and that is where you accept or reject it.</li> <li>Checking CAPS on a phone without switching to Desktop Site, then concluding the list is not out because the options do not display.</li> <li>Forgetting to upload O'Level results on JAMB CAPS. The university states that candidates without uploaded O'Level results will not be considered.</li> <li>Paying anyone who claims to add a name to the admission list or to fast-track an offer.</li> </ul> <h2>Scam warning</h2> <p>Admission into the University of Jos is only through JAMB CAPS and the university's official portal linked under Important official links below. No agent can add a name to the admission list, change a UTME score or secure an offer for payment. Anyone who asks you to pay into a personal account for admission, a guaranteed offer or a shortcut is running a scam. Confirm every instruction on the university website or the admission portal before sending documents or money to anyone.</p> <h2>Important official links</h2> <p><a href="https://portal.unijos.edu.ng/Account/CheckAdmission">UNIJOS admission status portal, check your offer</a></p> <p><a href="https://unijos.edu.ng/">University of Jos official website</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.unijos.edu.ng/registration-procedures-and-cut-marks-unijos-20262027-post-utmede-screening-exercise">UNIJOS registration procedures and cut-off marks for the 2026/2027 screening exercise</a></p> <p><a href="https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/">JAMB eFacility portal, for CAPS and admission letter</a></p> <h2>Frequently asked questions</h2> <p>Has UNIJOS released the admission list for 2026/2027?</p> <p>Yes.
