Yobe State University (YSU) Admission List for 2025/2026 Academic Session Now Available on JAMB CAPS

The wait is finally over for thousands of candidates who applied to Yobe State University (YSU) for the 2025/2026 academic session. The long-anticipated provisional admission list has officially been released, and candidates can now confirm their admission status through the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) portal. This announcement brings excitement, relief, and anticipation as prospective students move closer to achieving their academic dreams.

Understanding the YSU Admission List Process

Every year, Yobe State University receives a large number of applications from candidates who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and chose YSU as their preferred institution. After the conduct of post-UTME screenings, admission lists are prepared in batches and uploaded to JAMB CAPS for candidates to check and confirm their admission offers.

The use of JAMB CAPS has standardized admission processing in Nigerian universities. It ensures fairness, transparency, and accountability, as every offer of admission must be approved and confirmed by JAMB before it becomes valid. This means that if you are offered admission by YSU, it must reflect on your JAMB CAPS profile before you can proceed with acceptance.

To confirm your admission into Yobe State University, follow these simple steps:

1. Visit the JAMB E-facility Portal

What If You Are Not Yet Admitted?

If you see the message: “Sorry, no admission has been given yet,” don’t panic. Admission lists are often released in batches, so it is advisable to keep checking CAPS regularly. Candidates are also encouraged to:

• Ensure they uploaded their O’level results (WAEC, NECO, or equivalent) on the JAMB portal.

Accepting or Rejecting the Admission Offer

• Accept Admission:
  • This means you have agreed to study the course and institution offered to you.
  • Once accepted, you should proceed to print your JAMB admission letter, which will be required during YSU’s clearance and registration.
• Reject Admission:
  • This option is for candidates who may not be satisfied with the course offered, or who wish to wait for another institution of choice.
  • Rejection frees you up to be considered for admission elsewhere if space permits.
• Alternative SMS Method:
  Candidates can also accept admission by sending an SMS with the word “Accept” or “Reject” to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to their JAMB profile.
