  • The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) identified three primary reasons why candidates might not appear on the matriculation list.
  • Key reasons include failing to accept admission on JAMB CAPS, institutions not forwarding verified details, and not printing the original result slip and admission letter.
  • JAMB advised affected candidates to contact their institutions or visit JAMB offices for necessary processing and document printing.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has clarified three main reasons why candidates might find their names absent from the official matriculation list. The board emphasized that understanding these reasons is crucial for students navigating the post-admission process.

Number one is the most common, while number three is the most important. You have not accepted your admission on JAMB CAPS or your admission status reads not admitted.

According to an explainer video released on JAMB's official X handle, the most common issue is a candidate's failure to accept their admission offer on the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). This also applies if a candidate's admission status on CAPS reads 'not admitted.' JAMB advises students in such situations to return to their respective institutions to have their admissions processed correctly.

If it reads not admitted, return to your institution to process your admission.

Another significant reason cited is that some institutions have not yet forwarded the verified matriculation details of their admitted students to JAMB. Candidates facing this delay are urged to contact their institution's admission office promptly to ensure their information is submitted. The board stressed the importance of timely verification and submission by educational bodies.

Your institution admission office has not forwarded your verified matriculation details to JAMB.

Finally, JAMB highlighted the failure to print the original JAMB result slip and admission letter as a contributing factor. Candidates who have not obtained these essential documents are instructed to visit the nearest JAMB office or an approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) center for printing. JAMB encourages all candidates to monitor its social media platforms for further updates and guidance regarding the matriculation process.

You have not printed your JAMB original results slip and admission letter.
