Did you check your JAMB CAPS and it shows "Admission Given" or "Congratulations, you have been offered admission" but when you login to your school portal like UNILAG, UNIBEN, LASU or FUTA portal, it still says "No Admission Given Yet" or "Not Admitted" ? You are not alone. This is the most confusing issue for 2025/2026 JAMBites right now. In fact, it happens to almost 40% of students after JAMB gives admission on CAPS. Quick Answer: If JAMB CAPS says admission given but school portal still says not admitted, it is because your school has not uploaded your name to their own portal yet . JAMB gives admission first, then school needs 2-7 days to upload to their portal. First, accept the admission on JAMB CAPS immediately, then print your JAMB admission letter. After that, wait 3 days and check school portal again. Your admission is safe if you have accepted on CAPS. Do not panic. I have been helping students track admission on StudentPor...

Welcome to Studentportals.com.ng Candidates preparing for the 2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) should take note of a new schedule adjustment announced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). The change affects candidates who will be writing the first examination session . JAMB has moved the required arrival time at Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. Under the revised arrangement, the first session examination is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 10:30 a.m. The adjustment was announced by JAMB following concerns about the safety and logistical difficulties candidates may face when travelling to examination centres very early in the morning, particularly those who have to travel considerable distances. This means candidates preparing for the examination should pay close attention to the time printed on their examination details and should not rely on old information about the first-session reporting time.  W...

Welcome to Studentportals.com.ng!

In this article, I will explain whether you ...

This is a very important question because many candidates are beginning to worry as the 2026/2027 admission exercise continues.

So, if you have not been admitted yet, do not conclude that you have lost your cha...
