Why JAMB CAPS is Blank for Institution and Course: Solutions
Before I answer your question, let’s get some basics.
Before you can be sure your institution – university, polytechnic, or colleges of education is not showing on CAPS, you have to know how to check things correctly.
On getting to that page, a few students can only see their results and grades. Then, they see the JAMB registration number only without the corresponding NECO, WAEC, or NABTEB exam numbers. The reason and solution to this had been covered in my post, “JAMB Reg. Number Shows in CAPS Instead O’level Registration Number“.
Having checked JAMB CAPS, a few students were worried about not seeing any schools listed there. After all, a school that will eventually offer you admission should show up in the right space. Then, why is yours empty or blank?
Institution Space Will Remain Blank for Awhile

In short, it’s temporary. The admission process for this year is not closing until dates announced by JAMB. Hence, that institution space may remain blank within this period. And it’s nothing to worry about.
If your CAPS is showing institution and course now but still not admitted, read this update.
Instead of being worry, keep checking the space for any changes sooner. I have detailed about 7 CAPS status messages that will be guiding you on what each term on your CAPS means and what to do after each shows up. That guide is comprehensive enough to take you to the last stage of this admission.
Institution Will Appear In Due Time
These status messages will keep changing until you’re finally offered admission or otherwise.
For those whose institutions and course had shown but still NOT ADMITTED, read, “JAMB Shows Course and Institution But Still NOT ADMITTED: Here is Why?”
Conclusion
In short, be on the lookout for a school to appear. And don’t panic until then.
