Universities That Have Released 2026/2027 Admission Lists

Several Nigerian universities have started releasing their admission lists for the 2026/2027 academic session.

The lists are being released in batches, so candidates should continue checking their university portals and JAMB CAPS even if their names do not appear on an early list. The current admission-list releases cover federal, state, private and specialised universities, as well as universities of education.

This article brings the released 2026/2027 admission lists together in one place to help candidates quickly identify whether their university has started releasing admission.

Universities That Have Released 2026/2027 Admission Lists

The university-level list is based on current admission-list reporting, which includes the institutions above and notes that new lists and later batches continue to be added as schools release them.

Recent additions include SSU, SAZU, AAU, FUOYE, JOSTUM, PLASU and AAUA, with their 2026/2027 admission status currently reported as available.

How to Check Your Admission Status

Candidates should first check the admission portal of their university. Some schools publish downloadable admission lists, while others provide an admission-status checker.

Candidates should also check JAMB CAPS because many universities upload admission decisions to JAMB before or alongside their own admission portals.

To check through JAMB CAPS:

1. Log in to the JAMB e-Facility portal.
2. Select Check Admission Status.
3. Enter the required examination details.
4. Open the admission status section.
5. Accept the admission offer if one has been made.

Candidates should check both platforms where applicable because the university portal and JAMB CAPS may not update at exactly the same time.

What If Your Name Is Not on the List?

Do not assume that you have lost your admission opportunity because your name is missing from the first list.

Universities often release admission in batches. For example, SAZU has released multiple admission batches for the 2026/2027 session, while IAUE has released first and second batches.

Candidates should continue checking their university portal and JAMB CAPS for subsequent admission updates.

What to Do After Admission

If your admission status shows that you have been offered admission, read the instructions from your university carefully.

You may need to accept the offer through JAMB CAPS, print your JAMB admission letter and complete the university’s acceptance, clearance or registration process.

Do not pay any admission-related fee until you confirm the instructions through the appropriate university or JAMB platform.

More Admission Lists Will Be Released

The 2026/2027 admission exercise is still ongoing, and universities are releasing their lists at different times.

The list above should therefore not be treated as the final list of all Nigerian universities that will release admission for the session. More institutions and additional admission batches can still be added.

Candidates should keep checking their university portals and JAMB CAPS for new updates.
