ABU Admission List 2024/2025: Are you eagerly waiting to find out if you’ve been admitted to Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria for the 2024/2025 academic session?
The good news is that the ABU admission list is out, and in this blog post, I’ll guide you step-by-step on how to check your admission status and what to do next.
What is the ABU Admission List?
The ABU admission list contains the names of candidates who have been offered provisional admission into various undergraduate programs for the 2024/2025 academic year.
This list is released in batches—first, second, third, and sometimes supplementary. Each batch includes candidates selected based on their JAMB scores, post-UTME performance, and other admission criteria.
How to Check Your ABU Admission Status Online
There are two main ways to check your admission status: through the JAMB CAPS portal and the official ABU admission portal. Let’s break it down for you.
1. How to Check on JAMB CAPS
JAMB CAPS (Central Admission Processing System) is the primary platform for verifying your admission status. Follow these steps:
- Go to the JAMB E-Facility Portal: Visit https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng on your browser.
- Log In to Your Profile: Use your registered email address and password to log in.
- Click on ‘Check Admission Status’: On your dashboard, look for the “Check Admission Status” button and click it.
- Select ‘Access My CAPS’: Navigate to the CAPS section to see if you’ve been offered admission.
- Accept or Reject Admission: If your admission status says “Admitted,” click on the “Accept” button. If you don’t want the offer, click “Reject.” Note: Accepting your admission is necessary for further processing.
2. How to Check on ABU Portal
ABU also has its own portal for admission status verification. Here’s how to check:
- Visit the ABU Admission Portal: Go to https://portal.abu.edu.ng/forms.
- Log In with Your JAMB Registration Number: Enter your JAMB registration number and your default password (usually your surname).
- Check Your Admission Status: Once logged in, your admission status will be displayed on your dashboard. If admitted, you’ll see your program and faculty.
What to Do After Seeing Your Admission Status
If your name appears on the admission list, congratulations! Here are the next steps:
- Accept the Offer on JAMB CAPS: This is a must-do! Without accepting your admission on JAMB CAPS, your admission won’t be finalized.
- Print Your JAMB Admission Letter: After accepting, download and print your admission letter. This document is crucial for your registration and clearance.
- Upload Your O’Level Results: If you haven’t already, ensure your O’Level results (WAEC, NECO, etc.) are uploaded on the JAMB portal. Failure to do so may result in your admission being revoked.
- Prepare for ABU Registration: Watch out for updates on the ABU website (www.abu.edu.ng) regarding registration dates, school fees, and required documents. Keep checking to avoid missing deadlines.
What if my name isn’t on the first list?
Don’t worry! ABU releases admission lists in batches. If you’re not on the first list, keep checking for the second or third batch.
Can Direct Entry candidates check their admission status the same way?
Yes, Direct Entry candidates should follow the same process via JAMB CAPS and the ABU portal.
How do I know if ABU has started registration?
ABU will announce registration details on their official website and social media platforms. Stay informed by regularly checking.
