The journey into higher education is one of the most exciting and life-changing moments for students across Nigeria. For thousands of applicants who chose the Federal University, Birnin Kebbi (FUBK) as their preferred institution during the 2025 UTME, the wait is finally over. The management of the university has officially announced the release of the FUBK admission list for the 2025/2026 academic session, and it is now accessible through the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) portal.
This announcement marks the beginning of a new chapter for many young Nigerians who aspire to join one of the country’s promising federal universities. If you sat for the 2025 UTME and selected FUBK as your first choice, here is everything you need to know about checking your admission status, what to do if offered admission, and how to prepare for the next phase.
Understanding the FUBK Admission List
The admission list is essentially a record of candidates who have been provisionally offered admission into various undergraduate programmes at FUBK for the 2025/2026 academic session. It contains names of successful applicants who met the university’s cut-off marks, admission requirements, and departmental quotas as approved by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Unlike in the past when institutions published admission lists on notice boards, candidates now confirm their admission status through the JAMB CAPS portal, which ensures fairness, transparency, and compliance with national admission standards.
How to Check the FUBK 2025/2026 Admission List on JAMB CAPS
Candidates are expected to log in to their JAMB CAPS account to confirm their admission. Follow these steps carefully:
- Visit the official JAMB e-Facility portal via https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
- Log in using your registered email address and password.
- Once logged in, scroll down and click on “Check Admission Status”.
- Next, click on “Access my CAPS” to proceed.
- On the left-hand menu, click on “Admission Status”.
- Your status will display one of the following messages:
- Congratulations, you have been offered admission…
- Admission Still in Progress, check back later
- Not Admitted
What to Do If You Have Been Offered Admission
If your admission status shows that you have been successfully admitted, you must take the following actions without delay:
1. Accept or Reject the Admission Offer
Candidates can indicate their decision in two ways:
- Via JAMB CAPS: Click on either Accept Admission or Reject Admission button.
- Via SMS: Send either “ACCEPT” or “REJECT” to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
⚠️ Important Note: If you fail to accept your admission, you may forfeit your spot. Always confirm your decision promptly.
2. Print Your JAMB Admission Letter
Once you accept the admission, proceed to print your JAMB admission letter as it will be required during clearance and registration at FUBK.
3. Confirm Course and Institution
Sometimes, JAMB may offer you a different course from the one you initially applied for. Check carefully and be sure you’re comfortable with the course before proceeding.
What If You Are Yet to Be Admitted?
If your status shows “Admission Still in Progress” or “Not Admitted”, do not panic. Admission is released in batches, and more names will be uploaded as the process continues. Here’s what to do:
- Keep checking your CAPS portal regularly.
- Ensure you have uploaded your O’level results on JAMB CAPS. Without this, you may not be considered for admission.
- Stay updated with announcements from both JAMB and FUBK.
Why Admission Lists Are Released in Batches
Many students often wonder why they do not see their names in the first batch. The truth is, universities release admission lists in phases (first batch/merit list, second batch, third batch, and supplementary list). This system ensures that:
- Merit candidates are admitted first.
- Quotas for catchment areas and disadvantaged states are considered.
- Additional candidates are admitted later as slots become available.
So, if you don’t see your name yet, don’t lose hope — subsequent lists may include you.
Preparing for Life at FUBK After Admission
Once you secure your admission, the next big step is preparing for your academic journey at FUBK. Here are key tips:
- Stay Informed About Registration: The university will soon release official instructions on acceptance fee payment, screening, and registration. Follow FUBK’s official website and reliable education news platforms for updates.
- Gather Necessary Documents: Usually, you will be asked to present:
- Original JAMB result slip
- JAMB admission letter
- O’level results (WAEC, NECO, or equivalent)
- Birth certificate or declaration of age
- Local government/state of origin certificate
- Passport photographs
- Financial Planning: Prepare for acceptance fees, school fees, accommodation costs, and other living expenses.
- Academic Readiness: Start reading about your chosen course, get materials, and prepare your mind for the challenges ahead.
- Campus Life Preparation: Beyond academics, FUBK provides opportunities to join associations, clubs, and extracurricular activities. These experiences help build leadership, teamwork, and networking skills.
Final Words
The release of the Federal University, Birnin Kebbi (FUBK) 2025/2026 admission list is a moment of joy and excitement for many candidates. If you have been offered admission, congratulations!
