Great news for aspirants of Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi: the 2025/2026 admission list has officially been released and uploaded on JAMB CAPS.
If you participated in the Post-UTME/Direct Entry screening, this is your moment to check whether you’ve been offered admission. In this article, we’ll guide you through how to verify your admission status, accept or reject offers, print your admission letter, and prepare for what comes next.
Why This Admission Announcement Matters
Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, formerly known under its previous names (e.g. FUAM or UAM), has become a notable name in Nigerian tertiary education.
The release of the admission list 2025/2026 marks a decisive moment for candidates — it’s the difference between waiting and knowing where to start planning campus life. This is also an opportunity to align your next steps (acceptance, registration, screening) before deadlines lapse.
How to Check Your Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
Admission offers have been uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal, where candidates can see whether they have been admitted.
Follow these steps:
- Log in to the JAMB e-Facility / CAPS dashboard using your registered email/username and password.
- Click “Check Admission Status”.
- Click “Access my CAPS” to reveal more options.
- Select “Admission Status”. This will show one of:
- Congratulations (if you’ve been admitted, often with your photo display)
- “Sorry, No Admission Has Been Given Yet” (if you’re not yet admitted)
Note for mobile users: Some users report that using a smartphone might only show a blank welcome screen. To fix this, set your browser to Desktop / Request Desktop Site mode so the full CAPS menu loads.
Accepting or Rejecting Your Admission Offer
If you are offered admission, you must take action:
- Accept or Reject: Send ACCEPT or REJECT via SMS to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
- You typically have four (4) weeks from the issuance of the offer to accept it.
- If you no longer have access to your registered phone number, visit a JAMB-accredited centre for assistance with acceptance or rejection.
Once accepted, you should print your JAMB admission letter, which will be required during screening, clearance, and registration at the university.
What to Do After Admission
If your name is on the list and you’ve accepted the offer, here’s your to-do plan:
- Print your admission letter
- Prepare original documents (O’Level results, UTME result, birth certificate, etc.)
- Attend departmental screening / verification
- Register for courses / matriculation as scheduled by the university
- Follow further announcements (e.g., orientation, fee payments, housing, etc.)
For those whose status is “Still in Progress” or “Not Admitted” right now: don’t lose hope. Additional batches of admission may be released. Check your CAPS dashboard and keep monitoring announcements.
