For every prospective student, the release of an admission list is one of the most anticipated moments in the journey toward higher education. It marks the transition from hope to reality, from preparation to execution, and from being an applicant to finally becoming a student.
The management of Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana, has officially announced that the admission list for the 2025/2026 academic session is now available. Candidates who participated in the admission screening exercise can now begin checking their admission status through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
This is exciting news for thousands of applicants who chose Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic as their preferred institution. Below, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know—how to check your admission status, what to do once admitted, and why this process is so important.
🔎 Where to Check the Admission List
