The only evidence that you can show to the school that you have been offered admission is the JAMB admission letter. The admission letter is an official letter carrying the JAMB logo and all your details of admission after you have been offered admission to a school.
The admission letter always comes in two formats. The first format, which is for institutions, usually has a watermark “For Institution Only,” and the second format, which is for the candidate’s consumption, has its own watermark as well, which is “For Candidate Only”. However, you can print any of them by yourself using your phone or laptop.
Most prospective students don’t know how to print their admission letter online, and this may lead them to go to a cyber café and pay extra charges for the printing of the admission letter.
In this blog post, we are going to show you the step by step guide to follow to print your admission letter online from your JAMB portal without going to CBT centre or any cyber café, only what you need is your phone or laptop and your ATM card which you will use to make the payment online because printing of the admission letter is not free.
Steps on How To Print an Admission Letter From the JAMB Portal
Once you’ve accepted your admission offer on JAMB CAPS, the next important step is to print your JAMB Admission Letter. This document is very important; you’ll need it for school clearance, registration, and NYSC mobilization later on.
Here’s how to do it:
- Log in to the JAMB e-Facility Portal
Go to https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng and log in with your JAMB email and password.
2. Click on “Print Admission Letter”
On your dashboard, find and click “Print Admission Letter” from the list of services.
3. Make Payment
You’ll be prompted to make a payment of ₦1,500 (One Thousand Five Hundred Naira) using your ATM card or any available online payment option.
4. Download and Save
After successful payment, your Admission Letter will be displayed. Download it and save it as a PDF file on your device. You can also print a hard copy for safekeeping.
When you download the PDF, it usually contains two copies. One is for YOU (Candidate Copy) and the other is for the School (Institution Copy). You must print both. During school clearance, the registration officer will collect the Institution Copy and sign your Candidate Copy as proof.
What to do if you are Debited but cannot Print Admission Letter
If after you have been debited and you were still unable to print your admission letter, don’t panic, just go to the “My Payment” section on your dashboard and tap on the “Get Status” next to the transaction. This manually refreshes the payment and enables the download button without them having to pay twice.
