JAMB Releases 2019 Provisional Admission List

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has released the 2019 provisional matriculation list of admitted candidates on its official website.

In its weekly bulletin on Monday 20 April, 2020, the spokesperson of the board, Fabian Benjamin, noted that a large number of candidates offered provisional admission, were yet to accept the admission.

“A list containing their names is also on display on the board’s website. Candidates are to immediately accept  such offers using the CAPS Mobile App downloaded from the Google Play Store. With the App successfully installed and accessed on their devices, candidates do not need to visit any CBT centre or cyber cafe. Doing so would be a violation of the work-from-home/stay-at-home order in place, in most parts of the country,” Benjamin said.

“Candidates are also to note that acceptance of admission on any website other than CAPS is not a valid acceptance. Any admission not processed and accepted through CAPS is not known to JAMB. Alternatively, affected candidates who are not sure of their 2019 admission status, can check for such from their phones by sending “STATUS 2019” to 55019.

“However, in the event of any challenges, candidates are to lodge their complaints immediately by using the online ticketing platform at support under 2019 Admission List Issue,” he said.

The board also advised candidates yet to accept their offers of admission on the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to do so or risk forfeiting the offers.

According to the board, the list of admitted candidates in all the tertiary institutions in the country has been published on the JAMB website.

For ease of checking, candidates can visit JAMB site. Then, proceed to the menu titled ‘STUDENTS+’, select the submenu ‘CHECK MATRICULATION LIST 2019’ option and search for their names by entering their 10-digit JAMB Registration Number.

He said only those who had accepted their offers of admissions on CAPS and whose names appear on the list are recognised as bonafide students of the various institutions.

“By implication, if a candidate’s name is not on this published list which will be sent to all tertiary institutions, NYSC and other stakeholders, his/her application for mobilisation in the NYSC scheme, employment, among others, would be declined,” the exam body said.
