UNIBEN Admission List 2026/2027: How to Check Admission Status on Portal and JAMB CAPS; The University of Benin (UNIBEN) admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session has been released.
Candidates who participated in the admission process can now check their admission status online through the UNIBEN admission portal or the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
Candidates who have been offered admission will also be required to accept or reject the admission offer through the prescribed JAMB process.
UNIBEN Admission List for 2026/2027
Candidates who applied for admission to the University of Benin can now check their admission status online.
The admission process does not depend on physical notice boards or unofficial information, as candidates can confirm their status through the official online channels provided for the admission process.
There are two channels available for checking the UNIBEN admission status:
- The UNIBEN admission portal
- JAMB CAPS
Candidates will need the relevant login details to access their admission status through their preferred platform.
Candidates whose admission status is still pending should continue checking JAMB CAPS. Statuses such as Admission Still in Progress or Not Admitted may change as the admission process continues.
How to Check the UNIBEN Admission List
Candidates can check their UNIBEN admission status through the university’s admission portal.
Follow these steps:
- Visit the UNIBEN admission portal.
- Enter your User ID, which is your JAMB Registration Number.
- Enter the required password.
- Log in to access your UNIBEN admission status.
Candidates can also check their admission status through JAMB CAPS.
How to Check UNIBEN Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
JAMB CAPS provides another channel through which candidates can confirm whether they have been offered admission into the University of Benin.
To check your UNIBEN admission status on JAMB CAPS:
- Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal.
- Log in using your JAMB username and password.
- Scroll down and select Check Admission Status.
- Select Access My CAPS.
- Open Admission Status to see whether UNIBEN has offered you admission.
Candidates whose CAPS status shows an admission offer should proceed with the required acceptance or rejection process.
How to Accept or Reject UNIBEN Admission
Candidates who have been offered admission into the University of Benin are required to accept or reject the offer through the prescribed JAMB process.
Candidates can communicate their decision by sending ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number linked to their JAMB profile.
The response sent by the candidate should reflect their decision regarding the admission offer.
Candidates should ensure that they use the phone number connected to their JAMB profile when completing this process.
What Does a Pending UNIBEN Admission Status Mean?
Some candidates may see Admission Still in Progress or Not Admitted when checking their admission status through JAMB CAPS.
These statuses do not necessarily represent the final outcome of the admission process and may change later.
Candidates who have not yet received an admission offer should therefore continue checking their JAMB CAPS account for updates.
If an admission offer becomes available, the candidate should take the required action through the prescribed JAMB process.
What to Do After Accepting UNIBEN Admission
Candidates who have accepted their UNIBEN admission offer can proceed to print their JAMB Admission Letter.
The admission letter should be kept safely because it may be required during subsequent stages of the admission process.
Candidates should also pay attention to any further instructions issued by the University of Benin concerning acceptance, clearance and other admission requirements.
Congratulations to all candidates who have been offered admission into the University of Benin for the 2026/2027 academic session.
