For candidates asking, How do I check my second choice school and course admission status on the Jamb caps admission portal? I sincerely want you to know that if by now you are yet to be admitted by your first choice institution, you may not be offered admission anymore as the deadline for all first choice admissions earlier announced by JAMB is November 16th, 2019.
According to JAMB, all first choice admissions must be concluded first before 2nd choice admission will commence. So if you have not been offered admission in the first choice admissions, you are to wait for the 2nd choice admissions to commence. This means JAMB has been displaying only first choice admissions on the JAMB CAPS. Once the first choice admissions end, the JAMB CAPS will start displaying 2nd choice admissions.
Also for many candidates who did not take part in the Post-UTME screening exercise in their first choice schools; but only second choice school; they certainly won’t be expecting to be admitted in first choice admissions but rather that of 2nd choice.
How Do I Know If I Have Been Offered Admission in My 2nd Choice Institution
You can check this in two ways…
1. When your second choice school releases another batch(s) of admission lists (2nd, 3rd batch, etc): Many schools usually release more than one batch of admission list. So once your second choice school releases her admission list. CHek if your name is among the ones admitted. Once your name is on the school list. Then there is every possibility that it will be on the JAMB CAPS also because it is the same names that are sent to JAMB.
2. When JAMB Updates the JAMB CAPS for 2nd Choice Admissions: Wait for Jamb to commence 2nd choice admission on JAMB CAPS. Once 2nd choice admission begins on JAMB CAPS, you will be able to check if you have been admitted by your second choice school.
How to know when 2nd choice Admission Begins
According to JAMB, all first choice admissions will end on November 16th, 2019. This means that 2nd choice admissions will commence almost immediately.
For the records, JAMB categorically stated that the 2nd choice admission will begin on November 17th and end December 17th.
So all candidates yet to be admitted in the first choice of admission are to start checking their JAMB CAPS on a daily basis until December 17th, 2019.
