Prospective students of Gateway ICT Polytechnic, Saapade (GAPOSA) have a reason to celebrate: the 2025/2026 admission list has been released and made available via JAMB CAPS. This is a major milestone for applicants who participated in the screening process — now they can verify whether they’ve been offered admission into the polytechnic’s ND or HND programmes.
In this article, I’ll walk you through how to check your admission, what steps to take if you are admitted, what to do if you don’t see your name yet, and tips to stay ahead in this process.
Why This Announcement Matters
The release of the admission list signals that Gateway ICT Polytechnic has officially submitted its selected candidates to JAMB’s system. This ensures that any offer made is recognized across the national admission infrastructure.
For many candidates, this is the pivot from hopeful waiting to actual action — accepting admission, printing letters, registering, and preparing for campus life.
But being on the list isn’t the final step — you still have to complete several actions to formalize your admission.
How to Check Your Admission Status
Here’s how you can check whether your name appears on Gateway ICT Polytechnic’s 2025/2026 list:
- Log in to your JAMB CAPS dashboard using your registered credentials.
- Navigate to “Check Admission Status.”
- Click “Access my CAPS”, then “Admission Status.”
- You’ll see one of the following outcomes:
- Congratulations / Admitted — you’ve been offered admission.
- Admission Still in Progress — your name is not yet uploaded.
- Not Admitted — no offer at this time.
If you use a mobile browser and only see a blank or partial display, switch the browser to desktop mode or request the desktop site — this often reveals the hidden elements of the CAPS menu.
Next Steps After Admission
If your name is on the list, here’s what you should do right away:
- Accept the admission via CAPS. Confirm that you want to claim the spot.
- Print your JAMB admission letter. You’ll need this document during school registration and verification.
- Gather your original academic credentials. This includes your O’Level certificates, UTME result slip, birth certificate, any identity documents.
- Attend institutional screening / verification. The polytechnic will cross-check all your documents to legitimize your offer.
- Complete departmental registration. Enroll in your courses, pay required fees like acceptance and school fees, and fulfill internal registration procedures.
- Watch for official announcements. Keep an eye out for orientation, matriculation, and lecture commencement dates.
Be prompt — missing deadlines or delays in acceptance may jeopardize your admission.
If Your Name Isn’t There Yet — Keep Hope Alive
Don’t panic if your status currently shows “Not Admitted” or “Admission Still in Progress.” Many institutions admit students in multiple batches. Here’s what you can do:
- Check CAPS regularly. Updates often happen in the late hours or just before dawn.
- Ensure all your credentials are valid and uploaded. A missing or invalid document may cause exclusion.
- Confirm you complied with all screening steps. Sometimes an error in your screening form or omission can delay your name being uploaded.
- Watch out for second batch, supplementary, or catchment lists. Some names are held back until later.
- Be ready to act quickly when your name appears. Accept and register as soon as you see your name.
