Candidates who applied to Plateau State University (PLASU) for the 2026/2027 academic session can now monitor their admission status through the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
Rather than depending on unofficial admission lists shared online, candidates should use their individual JAMB profiles to confirm whether PLASU has offered them admission.
If an admission offer appears on CAPS, the candidate can proceed with the acceptance process.
How to Check PLASU Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
Your admission status can be checked online through the JAMB e-Facility platform.
Follow the steps below:
- Go to the JAMB e-Facility portal.
- Log in with your JAMB account details.
- Click Check Admission Status.
- Select Access my CAPS.
- Open Admission Status.
- Check the admission message displayed on your profile.
If PLASU has recommended you for admission and JAMB has completed the approval process, an admission offer should be displayed on your CAPS profile.
What the Different JAMB CAPS Messages Mean
Your CAPS account may show different messages while your admission is being processed.
Admission Offered
This is the final admission offer status.
If you see Admission Offered, you can proceed to accept the admission if you want to study at PLASU.
Admission in Progress
This indicates that your admission is still being processed.
The university may have recommended you, but the necessary approval has not been completed. Keep checking CAPS for further updates.
Recommended
A Recommended message means PLASU has recommended you for admission.
However, the admission still has to go through the required JAMB processing before it becomes a confirmed offer.
Pending
If your status is Pending, your application is still being considered.
No final admission decision has been displayed yet, so candidates should continue checking their profiles.
Not Admitted
This means no admission offer is currently available on the candidate’s CAPS profile.
Candidates whose status remains Not Admitted should continue monitoring CAPS while the admission exercise is ongoing.
How to Accept PLASU Admission
Candidates who receive an admission offer should accept it through the approved JAMB process.
JAMB provides acceptance options that include biometric verification at an accredited CBT centre and the approved SMS channel.
For SMS acceptance, send:
ACCEPT to 55019 or 66019
The message must be sent from the telephone number used for the candidate’s JAMB registration.
Candidates who do not want the admission can use:
REJECT to 55019 or 66019
Make sure the registered line has enough airtime before sending the message.
What Happens After Accepting PLASU Admission?
Accepting your admission on JAMB CAPS is an important step, but candidates should still complete the university’s admission procedures.
After acceptance, you should:
- Print your JAMB admission letter.
- Check PLASU’s official channels for clearance instructions.
- Complete the required registration process.
- Keep your admission documents safely.
- Follow official instructions on school fees and registration.
Do not give money to anyone who claims they can manipulate or upgrade your JAMB CAPS status.
How to Print PLASU JAMB Admission Letter
Candidates who have accepted their PLASU admission can print their JAMB admission letter through the JAMB e-Facility portal.
The document is important because it serves as official evidence of the admission processed through JAMB.
Candidates should print and keep both physical and digital copies of the document.
How to Check CAPS With a Mobile Phone
Some candidates may experience problems when accessing JAMB CAPS from a smartphone.
If you log in and cannot find the Admission Status option, try using Google Chrome.
Open the Chrome menu and select Request desktop site. Then reload the CAPS page.
The desktop version should display more of the CAPS menu, including the admission status section.
Using a laptop or desktop computer is another option.
PLASU Admission Status: What Candidates Should Do
Candidates should not panic if their CAPS status is not yet Admission Offered.
An application showing Pending, Recommended or Admission in Progress may still receive an update as the admission process continues.
Check your JAMB profile regularly and rely on information from JAMB and Plateau State University for final admission decisions.
Also, remember that an admission message received from an unofficial source should not be treated as confirmation until it appears on the appropriate JAMB platform.
