If your JAMB admission status hasn't updated on the portal after sending "ACCEPT" to 55019, wait a bit longer as it can take up to 24-48 hours or even a few days for the change to reflect. Ensure you sent the SMS from the exact phone number linked to your JAMB registration, and double-check the format: Your JAMB Registration Number ACCEPT. If it's still not showing after several days, contact the institution or JAMB support for assistance, as there might be a processing delay or a different issue on their end.
What to Do
1. Wait a Little Longer:
Admission processes can be slow, and it may take a day or two for the change to reflect on the JAMB portal.
2. Verify Your SIM:
Confirm that you sent the "ACCEPT" SMS from the phone number that was used during your JAMB registration.
3. Check SMS Format:
Ensure you typed the message correctly: your full JAMB registration number, a space, then the word "ACCEPT".
4. Re-Send the SMS (with caution):
If you're absolutely sure you sent it correctly, you can try sending the message again using the same registered SIM to give the system another chance to process it.
5. Check the Portal Regularly:
Continue to log into the JAMB CAPS portal and check for updates to your admission status.
6. Contact the Institution:
If the issue persists after several days, contact the admission office of the institution that offered you admission.
7. Contact JAMB Support:
If you're still having trouble, contact JAMB support for assistance, as there could be a specific issue with your profile or the system.
