University of Ibadan (UI) Admission List 2025/2026 Academic Session – Check Your Status Now
The University of Ibadan (UI), Nigeria’s premier university, has officially released the first batch admission list for the 2025/2026 academic session. This marks the beginning of an exciting journey for thousands of candidates who applied to study at one of the most prestigious institutions in the country.
If you participated in the Post-UTME screening exercise and met the departmental cut-off marks, you can now check your admission status online. In this guide, we will walk you through how to check your admission status, explain the different JAMB CAPS messages, and outline the next steps for successful candidates.
How to Check the UI Admission List on JAMB CAPS
At the moment, UI admission lists are not pasted on the university noticeboard or released in PDF format. Instead, candidates are expected to confirm their admission status on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
Follow the steps below to check:
- Visit the JAMB E-Facility Portal.
- Log in using your JAMB registered email and password.
- Scroll down and click on Check Admission Status.
- Select Access My CAPS to proceed.
- Click on Admission Status to see whether you have been offered admission into the University of Ibadan.
Understanding JAMB CAPS Admission Status Messages
When you check your admission on CAPS, you may see one of several messages. Here is what each one means:
1. ADMISSION OFFERED
Congratulations! You have been offered provisional admission into UI. You can now accept or reject the offer on CAPS.
2. ADMISSION IN PROGRESS (AIP)
This means your name has been recommended by the university, but the admission process is still being finalized by JAMB.
3. RECOMMENDED
The school has considered your application, and it is awaiting final approval from JAMB.
4. NOT ADMITTED
You have not yet been offered admission. This could be because the admission process is ongoing or your department has not released its full list.
5. PENDING
Your application is still under review. Be patient and keep checking regularly.
Next Steps for Successfully Admitted Candidates
If you have been offered admission into the University of Ibadan, here are the immediate steps you need to take:
1. Accept or Reject Admission on JAMB CAPS
Log in to CAPS and either accept or reject your admission. If you fail to accept, your admission may be withdrawn.
2. Accept via SMS (Alternative Method)
Send ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
3. Print Your JAMB Admission Letter
After accepting the admission, proceed to the JAMB Admission Letter Portal and print your admission letter. This document will be required during clearance and registration.
4. Check UI Admission Portal (When Activated)
UI will eventually release its own admission portal for candidates to confirm details, pay acceptance fees, and begin registration. Keep monitoring the official university website for updates.
Important Note for Mobile Phone Users
Many students checking JAMB CAPS on mobile phones encounter a common issue, the Admission Status button does not appear, and only the welcome message is visible.
To fix this:
- Switch your browser to Desktop Mode.
- The recommended browser is Google Chrome.
- Go to Chrome settings and select Request Desktop Site.
- Refresh the page, and you should now see the full CAPS options.
Why You Should Keep Checking Regularly
UI usually releases admission lists in batches. The first batch (merit list) is often followed by second and sometimes third batches, depending on available slots. If your status currently shows “Not Admitted” or “Admission in Progress,” don’t panic, more names will be uploaded gradually.
