2026/2027 Admission List: Full List of Schools That Have Released Admission
The 2026/2027 admission exercise is now underway, with several Nigerian universities and other tertiary institutions beginning to release admission lists for candidates who participated in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), Direct Entry and institutional screening exercises.
Candidates who applied for admission into universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and other tertiary institutions are advised to regularly check both their school’s admission portal and the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
Admission lists are not released by all institutions at the same time. Some schools have already released merit or first-batch lists, while others have released subsequent batches. Additional institutions are expected to publish their lists as the 2026/2027 admission process continues.
This article will be updated as more institutions release their admission lists.
2026/2027 Admission List: What Candidates Need to Know
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) uses the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to manage and process admissions into Nigerian tertiary institutions.
According to JAMB, CAPS was created to automate the admission process, improve transparency, give candidates information about their admission choices and reduce problems associated with multiple admissions.
This means candidates should not rely solely on social media announcements when checking their admission status.
An institution may release information about its admission list while a candidate’s official JAMB admission status is updated separately.
For this reason, candidates should check both channels regularly.
Schools That Have Released 2026/2027 Admission Lists
Several institutions have already started releasing their admission lists for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Recent admission trackers show the following institutions among those with released admission updates:
1. Kwara State University (KWASU)
Kwara State University is among the institutions that have released an admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Candidates who applied to KWASU should check the university’s official admission portal and their JAMB CAPS profile for their current admission status.
2. Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE)
IAUE has released admission updates for the 2026/2027 session, including merit and subsequent admission information.
Candidates who applied to the Rivers State-based institution should monitor both the school portal and JAMB CAPS for updates.
3. University of Delta (UNIDEL)
The University of Delta is also among the institutions reported to have released its 2026/2027 admission list.
Candidates who participated in the university’s admission process are advised to check their status through the appropriate official channels.
4. Adeleke University
Adeleke University has also featured among institutions with 2026/2027 admission updates.
Candidates should check the university’s official admission platform and JAMB CAPS to determine whether they have received an admission offer.
5. University of Benin (UNIBEN)
The University of Benin is another institution with 2026/2027 admission updates.
Applicants should check the university’s official portal and JAMB CAPS rather than relying on unofficial lists circulating online.
6. Ebonyi State University (EBSU)
Ebonyi State University has also released admission information for the new academic session.
Candidates who selected EBSU should continue checking for updates concerning their particular programme and admission batch.
7. Al-Istiqama University, Sumaila
Al-Istiqama University, Sumaila is among the private universities reported to have released its 2026/2027 admission list.
Candidates should use the institution’s official channels to verify their admission status.
8. Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK)
Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, has also recorded admission-list activity for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Applicants should regularly check their JAMB CAPS profile and the university’s admission portal for updates.
9. Lagos State University (LASU)
Lagos State University is another institution with admission updates for the 2026/2027 session.
LASU reportedly received a large number of applications for the new academic session, making its admission process one that many candidates are closely following.
10. Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU)
Sa’adu Zungur University has released admission updates for the 2026/2027 session.
Available reports indicate that the institution has released more than one batch, meaning candidates who were not included in an earlier list may still need to monitor subsequent updates.
11. Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology (OAUSTECH)
OAUSTECH is also among the institutions that have released admission information for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Candidates who applied should check the university’s official admission portal and JAMB CAPS for their individual status.
More Schools Have Started Releasing Admission Lists
The list above should not be regarded as the final list of institutions that will release admission for 2026/2027.
More recent admission tracking updates show additional institutions, including Federal University of Environment and Technology, Koroma; Federal University of Health Sciences, Ila-Orangun (FUHSI); and Niger Delta University (NDU), among institutions with admission updates for the current academic session.
This is why candidates should avoid assuming that their admission is unavailable simply because their school was not among the earliest institutions to release a list.
Admission is being processed in stages.
How to Check Your 2026/2027 Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
Candidates can check their admission status through the official JAMB admission system.
Follow these steps:
- Visit the official JAMB e-Facility platform.
- Log in with your JAMB profile details.
- Navigate to the admission-related section of your dashboard.
- Select the option to check your admission status.
- Select the 2026 examination year where required.
- Check your CAPS admission status.
- If you have been offered admission, carefully review the details displayed.
JAMB’s CAPS platform is the official system used to process and manage admissions into participating tertiary institutions.
Candidates should ensure that they are using official JAMB channels when entering their login details.
What If JAMB CAPS Says “Not Admitted”?
Seeing “Not Admitted” on JAMB CAPS does not automatically mean that a candidate will never gain admission.
Admission lists are released at different times, and institutions may continue processing candidates as the admission exercise progresses.
Some schools also release their lists in batches.
Therefore, candidates whose status currently shows “Not Admitted” should continue checking their CAPS profile and their institution’s official admission portal while the admission exercise remains ongoing.
However, candidates should also pay attention to deadlines and any instructions published by their institutions.
What If Your School Has Released Its List But You Cannot Find Your Name?
Candidates should first confirm that they are checking the correct admission batch.
For example, a school may release a merit list before releasing supplementary or subsequent lists.
You should also confirm that the details used when checking the list match the information submitted during your admission application.
Most importantly, check your JAMB CAPS profile.
An admission offer may appear on CAPS even when a candidate has not yet seen their name on a school webpage or has not received a personal notification.
How to Accept Admission on JAMB CAPS
Candidates who receive an admission offer should carefully review the information provided.
Where the CAPS platform presents an admission offer and an Accept Admission option, the candidate can accept the offer through the official JAMB system.
Candidates should not allow another person to make important admission decisions on their behalf.
After accepting the offer, candidates should follow the instructions provided by their institution regarding acceptance fees, screening, registration and clearance.
What Happens If You Reject Admission?
Candidates should think carefully before rejecting an admission offer.
If you receive an offer for a course or institution you are prepared to attend, do not reject it simply because you are waiting for another possible offer without first understanding the consequences.
Candidates who are uncertain about what to do should obtain accurate information from JAMB or their institution before taking action.
Check Your School Portal Too
Checking JAMB CAPS is important, but candidates should not completely ignore their institution’s website.
Schools may publish admission announcements, screening information, acceptance-fee instructions and registration deadlines through their official portals.
Some institutions may also release different batches of admission at different times.
Candidates should therefore make it a habit to check both:
- JAMB CAPS
- Their institution’s official admission portal
Beware of Fake Admission Agents
The admission period is also a time when candidates should be particularly careful about scams.
People may claim that they can “help” a candidate secure admission, upgrade a JAMB score or influence an admission decision in exchange for money.
Candidates should not share their JAMB password or other confidential account information with strangers.
They should also verify admission information through official JAMB and institutional channels.
JAMB’s CAPS system exists to provide an official framework for processing admissions into tertiary institutions.
2026/2027 Admission Lists Will Continue to Be Updated
The release of admission lists is an ongoing process.
The fact that some institutions have already published their lists does not mean every school has completed its admission exercise.
Some institutions are still conducting or concluding their screening and selection processes, while others are uploading admission recommendations in batches.
Candidates should therefore remain patient while regularly monitoring their status.
This article will also be updated as new 2026/2027 admission lists are officially confirmed.

Final Advice for 2026/2027 Candidates
If you are waiting for admission, the most important thing is to keep checking reliable sources.
Do not panic if your name has not appeared yet. Universities, polytechnics and colleges do not necessarily release admission lists at the same time, and some institutions issue several batches.
Check your JAMB CAPS regularly, visit your institution’s official website for announcements and pay attention to deadlines once you receive an offer.
Candidates who have already been admitted should also ensure that they complete the necessary acceptance and registration procedures within the period specified by their institution.
The 2026/2027 admission exercise is still developing, and more admission lists are expected to be released.
