The journey to securing admission into a Nigerian university is always filled with a mixture of hope, anxiety, and excitement. For candidates who applied to the Federal University, Otuoke (FUOTUOKE) in Bayelsa State, the long wait is finally over as the institution has officially released its 2025/2026 admission list.
The announcement, which was made available through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS), means that prospective students can now check their admission status and know whether they have been offered a place at the university.
🎉 What Does This Mean for Candidates?
The release of the admission list signals the official beginning of the new academic session for admitted students. It is not just about having your name on the list; it is the doorway to starting your academic journey at FUOTUOKE — a federal university known for its serene environment, disciplined academic structure, and steadily growing reputation in Nigeria’s higher education landscape.
Students who find their names on the list will now begin the process of securing their admission formally, including accepting their admission, paying acceptance fees, and preparing for clearance and registration.
đź“Ś How to Check FUOTUOKE Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
The FUOTUOKE admission list is not pasted physically on the school noticeboard yet; instead, it is accessible online through JAMB CAPS. Candidates are advised to carefully follow these steps:
Step 1: Visit the JAMB Portal
- Log on to JAMB e-facility portal using your registered email address and password.
Step 2: Click on “Check Admission Status”
- Once logged in, navigate to the Check Admission Status option.
Step 3: Access CAPS
- Click on Access my CAPS to open your personal admission dashboard.
Step 4: View Admission Status
- Select Admission Status. If offered admission, your course, institution, and admission details will appear.
âś… Accepting or Rejecting Admission
After confirming admission, the next step is to accept or reject the offer. This is a crucial process because failing to take action might result in forfeiting your admission.
There are two main ways to do this:
- Through JAMB CAPS Dashboard
- Simply click the “Accept Admission” button if you are satisfied with the course and institution offered.
- Through SMS
- Send either ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
⚠️ Important Note: If you reject the admission, you will be available in the JAMB system for possible consideration by another institution. If you accept, the system will lock your admission status as finalized.
📢 For Candidates Not Yet Admitted
Don’t be discouraged if your admission status shows:
- “Not Admitted Yet” or
- “Admission Still in Progress (ASIP)”
This simply means the university and JAMB are still working on uploading names. Admission is often released in batches, so keep checking back regularly on CAPS.
Many students who panic at the early stage eventually get admitted in subsequent batches, so patience is very important at this point.
