One of the most interesting things about the JAMB CAPS is that both UTME and DIRECT ENTRY candidates can use it for anything admission.
As an online platform or marketplace for admission within the JAMB portal, it is a place where tertiary institutions can accept candidates qualified for admission based on preset JAMB cut-off mark requirements. Candidates also have the right to choose or choose any institution or course of their choice without compulsion.
With the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) admission processing is simpler, no more manual processing, tertiary institutions are now independent in admission matters, candidates have a choice, and they can now know the details of available institutions for admission and programs offered, see admission opportunities, avoid multiple admissions, change institutions or course without stress and do a lot more.
What you can do with JAMB CAPS as a candidate

- check and confirm admissions status (both merit list and supplementary list). Therefore, you can be sure if you are given admission or not unlike the manual processes.

Some institutions might not display the list of admitted candidates for their various programs on their portals or notice boards. As a result, applicants seeking admission are advised to continually monitor their admission status through JAMB CAPS.
One thing to notice is that once you have accepted an admission given to you by an institution, you will no longer be free for admission by any other tertiary institution within Nigeria that is dully allowed to operate under Nigerian educational laws.
