Another problem when signing into the database of JAMB CAPS is getting an “invalid login credentials!” error message. Can’t access JAMB CAPS 2024? Don’t panic. Smile, and keep reading.

One of the main things people tend to do on the JAMB CAPS is to check their admission status. If you want to know whether your admission is genuine, kindly visit the jamb caps portal.

Today, we will discuss how you can rectify the issue, but there’s another alternative we’ll provide if the issue persists.

Your main dashboard is the best way to always check your admission status. You can do whatever you want to do concerning Jamb on your dashboard. Correction of name, date of birth, regularization, etc., can be performed there too. Let’s look at how you can check it on your jamb profile.

How to access my JAMB CAPS Portal

  1. First, the jamb e-facility portal via www.jamb.gov.ng/efacility./
  2. Enter your email (used during registration) and password where required.
  3. If you are using a desktop/laptop, on the left side of the screen, you will see “check admission status.” Select it. For those using a mobile device, check the top navigation bar; you will see a drop-down menu there; click it.
  4. Afterward, you must select the exam year and input your registration number.
  5. You can do two things there. You can either view your caps portal or check your admission status. If this method is used, you no longer need to sign into the CAPS portal.

The only thing that causes this mistake is using the wrong password or username. And make sure the two are OK. Another way of addressing the shown error message is to.

Jamb forget password page
  1. Visit the link provided above.
  2. You will see a text with “click here to reset your password.” Proceed by clicking the link.
  3. You will be redirected to a page where your email and password will be prompted to enter. Check your mail to see the reset connection and fill it out accordingly.
  4. Change the password to the new one you can’t forget.

This may also be because of the browser you’re using. Chrome is highly recommended for PC and mobile users.

Why can’t I access my JAMB CAPS?

1. Incorrect Login Details

One of the most common reasons candidates struggle to access their JAMB CAPS portal is due to inputting incorrect login credentials. Ensure you’re using the correct JAMB registration number and the password you set up during registration. If you’ve forgotten your password, use the ‘Forgot Password’ feature to reset it.

2. Profile Not Yet Activated

Sometimes, the issue might be that your JAMB profile is not yet activated for the CAPS portal. This usually happens if you’ve recently registered and the data has not been fully integrated into the CAPS system. Give it a little time, but if the delay persists, you might want to reach out to a JAMB office for assistance.

3. Network Issues

Poor internet connectivity can also hinder your access to the JAMB CAPS portal. Check your network connection to ensure it’s stable and strong. Sometimes, simply switching to a different network or moving to a location with better service can resolve this issue.

4. System Maintenance or Updates

JAMB occasionally performs system maintenance or updates on the CAPS portal, which could temporarily restrict access. If this is the case, JAMB typically notifies candidates ahead of time via their official website or social media channels. In such instances, patience is key; access should be restored once maintenance is complete.

5. Using a Mobile Device

While the JAMB CAPS portal is accessible via mobile devices, some features are best utilized on a desktop view. If you’re accessing the portal on a mobile phone and experiencing issues, switch to a desktop computer or use your mobile browser’s ‘Desktop Site’ feature.

6. Incorrect Registration Year Selected

Another potential reason for difficulty in accessing your JAMB CAPS portal could be selecting the wrong registration year during the login process. This often happens because candidates might overlook the year dropdown or assume it automatically sets to their year of examination. Here’s how to navigate this issue:

  • Select the Correct Year: When logging into the JAMB CAPS portal, ensure that you select the correct year of your JAMB examination from the dropdown menu. This year should correspond with the year you registered for JAMB.
  • Double-Check Before Proceeding: After selecting the year, double-check to ensure it’s the correct one before proceeding with your login details.

Any questions or problems regarding this? Drop a comment below. Don’t forget to share it with your friends and other candidates like you.
