2. How to Confirm Admission on JAMB CAPS

After confirming your admission on the OAU e-portal, the next crucial step is to verify and accept it on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) CAPS portal. Here’s how:

2. Log in with your JAMB email and password.
3. Click on Check Admission Status.

5. Click Access My CAPS and then choose Admission Status.
6. If you’ve been offered admission, click Accept Admission to confirm.

Akahi News advises all admitted students to accept their offer immediately to avoid complications or loss of admission.

3. What to Do After Gaining Admission

Once your admission is confirmed, there are important steps to take next:

✅ Print your Admission Letter – Both from JAMB and OAU’s portals for official documentation.
✅ Pay the Acceptance Fee – Log in to your OAU e-portal and follow the payment instructions.
✅ Upload O-Level Results (if not already done) – Ensure your SSCE results are correctly uploaded to the JAMB portal.
✅ Prepare for Clearance – Gather all necessary documents for departmental and faculty screening.
✅ Stay Updated – Follow OAU’s official communication channels and Akahi News for updates on registration deadlines, accommodation, and resumption dates.

4. What If Your Name Is Not Yet on the List?

If you’ve not been offered admission yet, don’t lose hope. According to Akahi News, the admission process is often carried out in phases. Some candidates are admitted through the first batch (merit list), while others are admitted through supplementary, catchment, or direct entry lists.

You can also:

• Regularly check the OAU and JAMB portals for updates.
• Ensure your course and subject combinations meet departmental requirements.
• Monitor announcements from Akahi News for verified admission updates and timelines.

5. OAU Admission Tips and Insights

Based on previous admission trends, Akahi News observes that OAU maintains a highly competitive selection process. Candidates with strong JAMB and Post-UTME scores, combined with solid O-Level results, stand a better chance of gaining admission.

In recent years, the university has also prioritised transparency through digital admissions — reducing the chances of manipulation and making the entire process more accessible.

Akahi News also notes that many applicants lose their admission due to delays in accepting their offers on JAMB CAPS or failure to upload O-Level results on time. Therefore, prompt action is crucial.

The release of the OAU admission list is an exciting moment for candidates and their families. It symbolises hard work, perseverance, and the start of a new academic chapter. Whether you’re admitted into the Faculty of Arts, Sciences, Social Sciences, or Engineering, Akahi News celebrates your achievement and encourages you to stay focused, disciplined, and academically excellent.
