How to Check the UNIZIK Admission List 2025/2026
As of now, the UNIZIK admission list has been uploaded to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) portal, where candidates can confirm their admission status. Checking your admission on JAMB CAPS (Central Admission Processing System) is simple, but it must be done carefully to avoid errors.
Follow these clear steps to confirm your status:
- Visit the official JAMB E-Facility portal
- Log in using your JAMB-registered email address and password.
- Scroll down and click on “Check Admission Status.”
- Select “Access my CAPS” to open your personal admission dashboard.
- Click on “Admission Status” to view whether you have been offered admission into UNIZIK.
Once your status appears, it will show one of several possible messages, each carrying its own meaning, which we’ll explain below.
Understanding Messages on JAMB CAPS
When checking your admission on JAMB CAPS, you may encounter different responses depending on the stage of your admission process. These are not random; each one indicates a specific status in JAMB’s approval workflow.
Let’s break them down one by one:
-
Admission Offered
If you see “Admission Offered” on your CAPS dashboard, congratulations! It means UNIZIK has successfully admitted you into your chosen course, and JAMB has approved it.
What to do next:
- Click “Accept” immediately to secure your spot.
- Print your JAMB Admission Letter and Admission Notification Slip; you’ll need them for registration and clearance at the university.
- Do not delay; if you fail to accept on time, your admission could be withdrawn or reassigned.
-
Admission in Progress (AIP)
This message means your name has been sent to JAMB by UNIZIK for approval, and the process is ongoing.
What to do next:
- Stay calm, this is a positive sign.
- Keep checking your CAPS daily; the status usually changes to “Admission Offered” within a few days or weeks.
-
Recommended
Seeing “Recommended” on your portal means the university has endorsed your name for admission, and it’s waiting for JAMB’s final confirmation.
What to do next:
- Be patient and avoid making unnecessary changes to your profile.
- JAMB will soon finalize your admission once verification is complete.
-
Not Admitted
If your CAPS shows “Not Admitted”, it simply means your name has not yet been included in the released list.
What to do next:
- Don’t panic. UNIZIK often releases admission lists in batches, first, second, and supplementary.
- Continue checking regularly, as your name may appear in the next round.
-
Pending
This status means your application is still under consideration.
What to do next:
- Keep monitoring your CAPS.
- Make sure your O’Level results and other credentials have been properly uploaded on the JAMB portal.
How to Check UNIZIK Admission on Mobile Phones
Many students use their smartphones to check admission, but the CAPS page sometimes doesn’t display properly on mobile view. If you’re facing that issue, here’s the fix:
- Open Google Chrome or your preferred browser.
- Visit https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
- Tap the three-dot menu (top-right corner).
- Select “Request Desktop Site.”
This will switch your browser to desktop mode, allowing you to see the full CAPS page, including the “Accept” and “Reject” buttons.
How to Accept or Reject Your UNIZIK Admission Offer

If you don’t have internet access, you can accept or reject your offer through SMS.
Send ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number you registered with JAMB.
