If you don’t know how to check the admission list, keep reading below for steps on how to check on the EKSU portal and the JAMB portal.
How to Check EKSU Admission List On EKSU Portal
To verify your admission status on the official EKSU portal, follow these straightforward steps:
Go to the official EKSU Portal.
Select the year of your examination, for example, 2025/2026.
Specify your application type as “Post UTME.”
Input your JAMB Registration Number in the designated field.
Press the “Check Status” button to see your admission result.
Alternatively, candidates have the option to access the EKSU admission portal directly:
Go to the EKSU Admission Portal.
Use your JAMB Registration Number as your username.

What to Do After Being Admitted
Seeing your name on the EKSU admission list is an amazing experience, one that signifies the start of an exciting new journey.
However, before you get too carried away with celebration, there are some essential steps you need to take to officially secure your position. Here’s what to do right after you confirm your admission:
1. Pay Your EKSU Acceptance Fee: This is the first and most crucial action. The acceptance fee verifies that you have officially accepted the admission offer.
Without this payment, your admission could be revoked. To make the payment, go to the EKSU student portal, log in with your details, and follow the payment instructions provided on the screen.
2. Confirm Admission on JAMB CAPS: Head to the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) to accept your admission. If you choose to decline it, you will automatically lose your slot.
Steps on How to Check Your Admission on JAMB Caps
Log in to your JAMB profile.
Click on “Check Admission Status.”
Select “Access my CAPS.”
Choose “Admission Status.”
Once you see your admission offer, click “Accept Admission.”
After accepting, be sure to print your JAMB Admission Letter, as you will need it for physical clearance later.
3. Print Your Admission Letter from the EKSU Portal: Revisit the EKSU portal and print your official admission letter. This document serves as evidence of your admission and will be necessary during registration.
4. Prepare for Clearance and Registration: When the school year officially kicks off, you will need to show all your documents for physical screening. Keep the following documents ready:
Original JAMB result slip
Birth certificate or age declaration
O-level results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB)
Local government identification letter
Payment receipts (acceptance fee and others)
Instructions to EKSU Admitted Candidates
Once you have been admitted, please take note of the following things you need to get done as soon as you can;
Print a copy of your admission letter and follow the payment instructions for acceptance and school fees as outlined on the EKSU website
Head to the EKSU Portal
Select “Student Login”
Input your registration number as your username and use password1 as the default password

Choose “Online Screening” to upload documents such as:
JAMB Admission Letter
EKSU Admission Letter
O’level Results

Submit your O-level results in the “O-level” section for validation
If the verification is successful, click “e-Matriculation” to obtain your Matric Number and EKSU official email address
Select “Course Registration” to enrol on your preferred courses for the semester
Please note that you can only complete steps 5 to 8 after you have paid all necessary fees.
If your O-level result does not fulfil the requirements for your course, select Apply for Change of Programme on the portal and await approval.
Upon resuming school, visit the Academic Affairs Office to submit four (4) copies of all uploaded documents along with proof of full fee payment.
After finishing all procedures, you will be able to print your Clearance Slip, Registration Form, and Examination Permit.
For Candidates Yet to Be Admitted
If your admission status reads “Not Admitted” at the moment, don’t worry. It doesn’t mean that you’ve been removed; it simply means that your admission process is still under review. During this waiting period, here’s what you should consider doing:
Regularly check both the EKSU and JAMB CAPS portals.
Make sure you have correctly uploaded your O-level results onto JAMB CAPS.
Stay vigilant for new admission lists; EKSU frequently releases various lists, including first, second, and supplementary batches.
Maintain patience and a positive outlook. Many candidates secure admission in the second or third rounds.
Keep in mind that perseverance is important; your name might appear in the upcoming update.
