How to Check Your Admission Status at Nekede
To find out whether you’ve been admitted to FPNO, follow these steps carefully:
- Log into your JAMB CAPS account
Use your registered username / email and password. - Click on “Check Admission Status”
This option is typically found in your CAPS dashboard menu. - Select “Access my CAPS”, then choose “Admission Status”
This will show your current status. - Interpret the result
- Congratulations / Admitted — you have been offered admission
- Admission Still in Progress — your name hasn’t been uploaded yet
- Not Admitted — no offer in this batch
- If using a mobile phone and seeing blank or incomplete pages
Switch your browser to Desktop mode / Request desktop site to reveal all menu items and options.
Additionally, FPNO has an ND admission status checker via its application portal. (ndapplication.fpno.edu.ng) You may use that to cross-verify your status.
What to Do If You Are Admitted
If your name appears on the Nekede polytechnic admission list, here’s a step-by-step checklist:
- Accept the admission via JAMB CAPS — this is essential to confirm your slot.
- Print your JAMB admission letter — you’ll need it during screening and registration.
- Gather all original credentials — O’Level certificates, UTME slip, birth certificate, national ID, etc.
- Attend institutional screening / verification — present the original documents when called.
- Complete departmental registration — choose courses, pay acceptance or school fees, and finalize your status.
- Stay alert for announcements — orientation, matriculation, and lecture start dates will follow.
Act swiftly: missing deadlines or failing to accept the offer might lead to losing your spot.
If Your Name Isn’t There — What You Should Do
If your status reads “Not Admitted” or “Admission Still in Progress,” don’t lose hope. Many institutions, including FPNO, release admission lists in multiple waves. Here’s how to stay ahead:
- Check your CAPS regularly — updates may happen at any time.
- Ensure your academic credentials are valid and properly uploaded — missing or invalid documents can block your status.
- Confirm you completed FPNO’s screening requirements — sometimes a forgotten step delays your name.
- Watch for second batch, supplementary, or catchment lists — additional names may appear later.
- Be ready to act fast — once your name appears, accept and register immediately.
Why Some Names Are Delayed or Omitted
Understanding why some candidates don’t appear in the first list helps manage expectations. Some common causes:
- Limited slots and high competition in popular programmes
- Administrative delays in verifying credentials or communicating with JAMB
- Incomplete, invalid, or mismatched documentation
- Internal processing delays before final upload to CAPS
- Some names held back for supplementary or adjustment lists
Knowing these helps keep patience alive.
