Waiting to find out if you’ve been admitted to your chosen institution can be both thrilling and stressful. Whether you applied through UTME or Direct Entry, knowing how to check your JAMB admission status is a key step in planning your academic future.
This updated 2024 guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from accessing the JAMB Admission Status portal to understanding your results and taking the right follow-up actions
What Is the JAMB Admission Status Portal?
The JAMB Admission Status portal is an official platform by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), where candidates can confirm whether they’ve been offered admission into any tertiary institution in Nigeria.
It’s more than just a tool—it’s your entry point into higher education. Once you’re offered admission, you’ll need to either accept or reject the offer, print important documents, or make changes like switching your course. Best of all, the portal is free and accessible to all JAMB candidates, including those from previous years.
Who Can Use the JAMB Admission Status Portal?
The portal is open to:
-
UTME candidates
-
Direct Entry applicants
Here’s what you need to know based on your registration year:
-
Candidates from 2024 and later: You can log in and check your admission status directly.
-
Candidates from 2016 or earlier: You must create a JAMB profile before accessing your admission status.

“Not Admitted Yet”
