Some are seeing Congratulations, you have been offered admission.
But many others are still seeing Not Admitted.
If your own JAMB CAPS is still showing Not Admitted, do not panic immediately. It does not always mean you have lost admission.

What Does Not Admitted Mean on JAMB CAPS?
Not Admitted means that JAMB CAPS has not shown any admission offer for you yet.
It does not always mean admission is over.
It does not always mean EBSU has rejected you.
It only means that, at that moment, no admission offer has been approved on your CAPS.
So if your CAPS is still showing Not Admitted, calm down and keep checking.
Does Not Admitted Mean I Cannot Still Get Admission?
No.
Seeing Not Admitted does not mean you cannot still get admission.
Admission can come in batches. Some candidates may see their admission early, while others may see theirs later.
Your friend may be admitted today, and your own may come later.
So do not panic because someone else has seen admission before you.
What you should do is make sure your own details are correct and continue checking.
Why Your EBSU CAPS May Still Show Not Admitted
There are different reasons why your CAPS may still show Not Admitted.
It may be because admission has not reached your batch yet.
It may be because your department has not started releasing admission.
It may be because your O’Level result has not been uploaded properly.
It may be because your JAMB score is below your course cut-off mark.
It may also be because the school is still processing admission.
So instead of panicking, use this time to check everything carefully.
1. Confirm Your O’Level Upload
One of the most important things to check is your O’Level upload.
Your WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or combined result must be uploaded on JAMB CAPS.
It is not enough to only fill your O’Level result during Post UTME registration.
If your O’Level result is not uploaded on JAMB CAPS, your admission may be delayed or affected.
If you are not sure whether your result is uploaded, visit a trusted CBT centre and confirm.
2. Check Your Course Cut-Off Mark
Another thing to check is your EBSU departmental cut-off mark.
Some courses are more competitive than others.
If you applied for courses like Medicine, Nursing, Law, Medical Laboratory Science, Computer Science, or Mass Communication, you need to check if your JAMB score is enough for that course.
If your score is below your course cut-off mark, your admission chance for that course may be low.
That does not mean you should panic, but you should follow updates carefully.
3. Confirm That Your Post UTME Registration Was Successful
Some candidates pay for Post UTME but do not finish the registration properly.
Do not assume your registration was successful just because you made payment.
Make sure your form was submitted correctly.
If someone helped you register at a cyber cafe or CBT centre, ask for your registration slip or proof that the registration was completed.
Your admission process can be affected if your registration was not completed properly.
4. Keep Checking JAMB CAPS
If your CAPS is still showing Not Admitted, keep checking.
Do not check once and stop.
Your status may later change to Admission in Progress or Congratulations, you have been offered admission.
If you are using a phone and CAPS is not showing well, turn on desktop site in your browser.
That will help you see the full CAPS options.
5. Check the EBSU Portal Too
Do not depend on only JAMB CAPS.
Also check the EBSU admission portal.
Sometimes, school portal and JAMB CAPS may not update at the same time.
So while waiting, check both places.
What If Your CAPS Changes to Admission in Progress?
If your CAPS changes from Not Admitted to Admission in Progress, it means your admission is being processed.
This can be a good sign, but it is not final admission yet.
Keep checking until it changes to Congratulations, you have been offered admission.
Do not celebrate fully until admission is offered and accepted.
What If Your CAPS Shows Admission Offered?
If your CAPS shows Congratulations, you have been offered admission, then you have been offered admission.
At that point, you should accept the admission on JAMB CAPS.
After accepting admission, you can start preparing for the next steps like:
Printing your JAMB admission letter
Checking the EBSU portal
Paying acceptance fee
Preparing for clearance
Getting your documents ready
Following freshers’ updates
Do Not Pay Fake Admission Agents
This is very important.
If your CAPS is still showing Not Admitted, some people may try to scare you.
They may claim they can help you push your admission.
They may claim they can change your CAPS status.
They may ask you to pay money.
Be careful.
Do not give your money or JAMB details to random people.
Admission should be followed through the right process.
Do Not Compare Yourself Too Much With Others
It is normal to feel worried when your friends start getting admission and your own is still showing Not Admitted.
But do not compare too much.
Different departments may release admission at different times.
Different candidates may be processed in different batches.
Your own admission may still come later.
Stay calm, keep checking, and make sure your details are correct.
Things You Should Do While Waiting
While waiting for your CAPS to change, you should do these things:
Check your JAMB CAPS regularly
