Receiving an admission offer is an important stage in every candidate's academic journey. However, seeing an offer on JAMB CAPS is not enough—you must take the appropriate action by either accepting or rejecting the admission offer.

For added convenience, JAMB provides an SMS option that allows eligible candidates to submit their decision directly from their registered mobile number. This guide explains the correct procedure, message format, and important steps to take after making your decision.

How to Accept or Reject Your JAMB Admission via SMS

1. Confirm That Your Registered Phone Number Is Active

Before sending any message, ensure that the mobile number connected to your JAMB profile is active and available for use.

Also, make sure the line has sufficient airtime to send the SMS successfully.

2. Type Your JAMB Registration Number and Your Decision

Open your SMS application and enter your JAMB Registration Number, followed by a space and either ACCEPT or REJECT, depending on your decision.

Use the following format:

To accept your admission:

Jamb Registration ACCEPT

To reject your admission:

Jamb Registration Number REJECT

Examples

202550006742TY ACCEPT

202556857673GH REJECT

Ensure that your registration number is correct before sending the message. Also, type ACCEPT or REJECT in uppercase as required.

3. Send the Message to 55019

After confirming that the information is correct, send the SMS to:

55019

Do not add unnecessary words or details to the message.

Important Things Every Candidate Should Know

Candidates are strongly advised to continue checking their JAMB CAPS portal regularly for updates regarding their admission status.

Before accepting any offer, carefully confirm the admission details, including the institution and course offered.

If you no longer have access to the phone number linked to your JAMB profile, it is advisable to visit a JAMB-accredited CBT centre for proper assistance.

What Should You Do After Accepting Your Admission?

After successfully accepting your admission, the next important step is to proceed with your JAMB Admission Letter processing.

The admission letter is an official document containing important details about your admission and may be required during your institution's registration and clearance process.

Only candidates who have accepted their admission offer can proceed with accessing their official JAMB Admission Letter.

Don't leave your admission offer unattended. Check your CAPS regularly, take the appropriate action, and complete every necessary step towards securing your admission.
