The University of Benin (UNIBEN), Benin City, has begun the process of uploading names of successful candidates for the 2026/2027 academic session on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).

The development is coming as an important update for candidates who applied for admission into the university and participated in the institution’s admission process.

Candidates are therefore advised to start checking their JAMB CAPS regularly to know when their admission status is updated.

ADMISSION IS BEING UPLOADED GRADUALLY

Candidates should note that the uploading of admission status on JAMB CAPS may not happen for everyone at the same time.

The process is expected to take place in batches, meaning some candidates may see their admission status earlier than others.

Candidates whose admission status has not changed should not panic. They are advised to continue checking their JAMB CAPS regularly as more admission offers are processed and uploaded.

The University of Benin has previously used JAMB CAPS for admission processing, and candidates are advised to rely on official university and JAMB channels for accurate updates. (MySchool)

HOW TO CHECK UNIBEN ADMISSION STATUS ON JAMB CAPS

Candidates can follow the steps below to check their admission status:

Step 1: Visit the JAMB e-Facility Portal

Go to the official JAMB e-Facility portal:

JAMB e-Facility Portal

Step 2: Log In

Enter your registered email address and password to access your JAMB dashboard.

Step 3: Access CAPS

After logging in, locate and click on “Check Admission Status” or “Access My CAPS.”

Step 4: Check Admission Status

Click on “Admission Status” to view your current admission status.

Your status may show:

• Admitted
• Admission in Progress
• Not Admitted
• Not Available

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADMITTED

Candidates who see “Admitted” on their JAMB CAPS are advised to carefully follow the next steps.

They should:

• Accept the admission offer on JAMB CAPS.
• Print their JAMB Admission Letter after acceptance.
• Monitor the UNIBEN portal for further instructions.
• Follow the university’s guidelines for acceptance fee, clearance and registration.

Candidates should avoid delaying acceptance once an admission offer has been made.

WHAT IF YOUR ADMISSION HAS NOT REFLECTED?

Candidates who are yet to see an admission offer should remain patient.

Since the uploading process is gradual, the fact that a candidate has not yet been admitted does not necessarily mean that the candidate has lost the opportunity for admission.

Applicants should continue checking their JAMB CAPS regularly and ensure that their O’Level results have been properly uploaded to JAMB CAPS, where applicable.

They should also ensure that the details submitted during the admission process are accurate and consistent.

CHECK UNIBEN UPDATES REGULARLY

Candidates are encouraged to monitor the official University of Benin website and admission channels for further announcements concerning the 2026/2027 admission exercise. The university’s official website is available here: University of Benin Official Website

Candidates should also be careful of individuals claiming to have the power to influence or secure admission.

CONCLUSION

The commencement of the uploading of the 2026/2027 University of Benin (UNIBEN) admission list on JAMB CAPS is an important development for prospective students awaiting admission.

Candidates are advised to check their JAMB CAPS regularly, as admission offers may continue to be uploaded in batches.

Those who have already received admission should accept their offer and proceed with the required admission formalities, while candidates whose status has not yet changed should remain patient and continue monitoring their accounts.

Congratulations to candidates who have been offered admission, and best wishes to all UNIBEN aspirants still awaiting their admission status.
