Schools Whose Admission Lists Have Been Released 2026/2027

Admission list season is one of the most closely watched stages of the Nigerian school admission process. After post-UTME screening, candidates usually begin checking for updates from their chosen schools and JAMB.

An admission list shows candidates who have been offered provisional admission by a school. Lists may appear on school portals, notice boards or through admission status checking systems, while JAMB admission status can also be checked through JAMB CAPS.

This page brings available admission list updates together so candidates can find their school, open the relevant admission list page and follow the stated checking procedure.

What an admission list means

An admission list is the official list of candidates offered provisional admission by a school for a stated academic session.

A candidate whose name appears on an admission list has been offered a place, subject to the admission requirements and any further steps stated by the school or JAMB.

The first list may not be the final admission update. Some candidates may appear on later batches, so admission checking may continue after an earlier list has been published.

How schools release admission lists

Admission lists usually follow the main stages of the admission process.

1. Candidates sit for the UTME conducted by JAMB.
2. Schools carry out their post-UTME screening or other required checks.
3. Candidate scores are assessed and available admission places are filled.
4. Admission lists are published for candidates to check.

Schools may release admission information through their portals or physical notice boards. Some online portals require candidates to enter their JAMB registration details before admission status can be viewed.

A candidate may need to check both. An admission update seen on one platform should not cause the other checking point to be ignored.

Schools can also publish admission lists in batches, so candidates whose names are absent from an earlier list may continue checking later updates.

Universities and their admission lists

Universities across Nigeria publish admission lists as their admission exercises progress.

Candidates can use the search function on this page or scroll through the available entries. Once the relevant university is found, the admission list link can be opened for the stated checking procedure.

Colleges of education admission lists

Colleges of education also publish admission lists for candidates offered provisional admission.

Candidates can search the available entries below and follow the checking procedure provided for the relevant college.

Why candidates should keep checking admission updates

Admission lists may be released in stages rather than at once. A candidate who does not appear on an earlier list may be included in a second or third batch.

Regular checking also helps candidates notice an admission offer that requires action on JAMB CAPS. Candidates who receive an offer there can accept or reject it as required.

School portal checks also remain relevant. Candidates should confirm any school-specific admission information and follow the steps stated on the admission page.

Delaying required action can affect an admission offer, as an unaccepted place may later be withdrawn and offered to another candidate.

What candidates should do after checking a list

Candidates whose names appear on an admission list should read the instructions attached to that admission update and check their JAMB CAPS status where applicable.

Candidates who have not yet been admitted may continue checking later admission batches. A missing name on an earlier list does not automatically mean that every admission opportunity for that session has ended.

Other school options may also remain available, including polytechnics and colleges, depending on the candidate’s admission plans.
