The wait is finally over for thousands of applicants! The 2026/2027 admission season is underway, and many universities, polytechnics, and colleges across Nigeria have started publishing their admission lists.
In this comprehensive article, we’ve compiled a list of schools that have released their admission lists for the 2026/2027 academic session, how you can check yours, and what to do next if you’ve been offered admission.
Before we go on to share the list, you may want to know what an admission list is.

What Is an Admission List?
An admission list is the official list of candidates who have been offered provisional admission into an institution. Seeing your name on the list means you have been offered admission, but you still need to accept your offer, pay acceptance fees, and complete clearance.
Now you know what an admission list is; let’s move on to share how schools release their admission lists.
How Do Schools Release Admission Lists
After the JAMB examination, most institutions organize a post-UTME screening or aptitude test. Your JAMB score and post-UTME score are evaluated together to determine your overall aggregate. For example, a school may use a 50/50, 60/40, or 70/30 weighting system between JAMB and post-UTME.
If your aggregate meets or exceeds the departmental cut-off mark, you have a strong chance of being admitted. But if it falls short, you may have to wait for supplementary lists or change to another programme.

2. Selection & Allocation
Admission is not only about scoring high—it also depends on available slots, quota systems, and merit distribution. Each department has a limited number of spaces, and schools must also consider:
- Merit candidates (those with the highest scores).
- Catchment area candidates (students from the school’s state or region).
- Educationally less developed states (ELDS) quota.
- Other policies directed by JAMB or the Federal Government.
This means a candidate with a slightly lower score may still get admitted if they fall under a quota category, while a high scorer outside the quota may have to wait for another batch.
3. Publication of Lists
Once selections are made, schools publish the admission list. This can happen in batches (first list, second list, third list, and supplementary list). Admission lists are usually released through:
- The school’s admission portal (where you log in with your details).
- JAMB CAPS (Central Admission Processing System).
- Physical notice boards in some schools.
Always check multiple platforms because some lists appear on JAMB CAPS before the school portal, or vice versa.

4. Acceptance & Confirmation
Being on the admission list is only the beginning. To secure your spot, you must:
- Accept the admission on JAMB CAPS.
- Pay the acceptance fee on the school’s portal.
- Proceed with clearance/verification, where your documents will be checked.
Failure to confirm or pay within the stipulated time can make the school withdraw your offer and give it to another candidate.

What If Your School Hasn’t Released Its Admission List?
If your school hasn’t released its admission list, don’t panic—it’s a normal part of the process. Most institutions release their admission lists in batches, meaning the first set of names may come out while others are still being processed. So, even if you don’t see your name immediately, there’s still hope in subsequent lists.
It’s also important to keep checking the official channels. Schools often update their admission portals, while JAMB regularly uploads offers on JAMB CAPS. In some cases, the list might first appear on JAMB CAPS before the school uploads it to their portal, or vice versa. This is why you need to monitor both platforms closely.
Conclusion
Getting admission is a big step, and seeing your name on the list is worth celebrating. If your school hasn’t released its admission list yet, don’t panic—more lists will be uploaded in the coming weeks.
Stay connected with MyStudentKit. We’ll keep updating this page as more schools release their lists.
