Three reasons your name may be missing in matriculation list – JAMB tells candidates

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has explained three possible reasons candidates may not find their names on the matriculation list.

The board disclosed this on Friday in an explainer video shared on its official X handle.

JAMB stated that failure to accept admission on the Central Admissions Processing System, CAPS, was the most common reason, while the third was the most important.

According to the board, candidates whose admission status shows “not admitted” should return to their institutions to have their admissions properly processed.

“Number one is the most common, while number three is the most important. You have not accepted your admission on JAMB CAPS or your admission status reads not admitted,” JAMB said.

The board also explained that candidates could be missing from the matriculation list because their institutions had not forwarded their verified matriculation details to JAMB.

“Your institution admission office has not forwarded your verified matriculation details to JAMB,” it stated.

JAMB advised affected candidates to contact their institutions and ensure their admissions are processed on CAPS.

The board further identified failure to print the JAMB original result slip and admission letter as another reason a candidate’s name may not appear on the matriculation list.

“You have not printed your JAMB original results slip and admission letter,” JAMB stated.

It advised candidates in this category to visit the nearest JAMB office or an approved Computer-Based Test, CBT, centre to print the required documents.

“So visit the nearest JAMB office or approved CBT centre and get it printed,” the board added.
