4. How to Check FUTA Admission List Online (Step‑by‑Step)

Here is how you check.

4.1 Via FUTA Portal

Open your web browser (on phone, laptop or tablet).
Go to the official FUTA site. The specific portal for admission status is usually FIRARS portal or FUTA’s admissions portal. For example: https://firars.futa.edu.ng/app/welcome/admissions or https://futa.edu.ng/firarsnew/welcome/admissions. (Schoolings)
If required, enter your JAMB Registration Number (or UTME/DE registration number). Be careful: type exactly as on official document.
Click “Submit” or “Check Admission Status” or “Search” (whatever the button says).
The portal should tell you whether you have been admitted, or if your status is “Admission in Progress”, or “Not Admitted yet”.

4.2 Via JAMB CAPS (Central Admission Processing System)

Visit the JAMB E‑Facility portal: https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/ or via jamb.gov.ng. (TheInfoPortal)
Log in with your email address and password used at JAMB.
On your dashboard, find the section “Check Admission Status” or “Access my CAPS”. (TheInfoPortal)
Select your exam year (2025) and enter your registration number.
Click “Check Admission Status” or similar.
If you are offered admission, you will usually need to Accept or Reject the admission offer inside the CAPS portal. If you do not accept, your name may not be considered for matriculation. (TheInfoPortal)

4.3 Other Possible Ways

Sometimes FUTA may send SMS or email to admitted candidates (but this is not always guaranteed).
Physical notice boards might have the list in FUTA campus for those who are nearby.
PDF files are sometimes published online (on FUTA website) which allow you to download and search offline.
Some third‑party education sites may replicate the info, but always verify with official FUTA or JAMB sources to avoid wrong information. (Micplustech)

6. What the Status Messages Mean

When you check your FUTA admission status, you might see different messages. Here is what each means:

Message	Meaning	What to do Next
Congratulations / Admitted	You have been offered provisional admission into FUTA for your chosen programme.	Accept via JAMB CAPS; download admission letter; pay acceptance fee; report to FUTA; do registration and verification.
Admission in Progress / Pending / Under Processing	Your application has been reviewed, but final confirmation is not yet done.	Keep checking; ensure your documents (O’‑level, JAMB, etc.) are uploaded; ensure you met cut‑off marks.
Not Admitted Yet / Not Offered Admission	Currently, you are not offered admission. But this may change if there are more batches.	Stay alert; check future batches; check if you can change programme; ensure all your data is correct.

7. Pros and Cons of Checking Online vs Offline

Checking admission status online has advantages and a few drawbacks. Let’s compare.

Feature	Online Checking	Offline Checking (Physical Notice Board, SMS, etc.)
Speed	Very fast; instant once status is uploaded.	Slower; you may need to travel or wait for publication.
Convenience	Do it from anywhere, any time.	Must be physically present or wait for mail/SMS.
Accuracy	Official portals are accurate. But you might face technical glitches.	Less dependent on internet; but possibility of delays or misprints.

Fake sites or misleading information	Some sites copy info but give wrong URLs or steps	Always use futa.edu.ng or jamb.gov.ng; verify the portal; avoid clicking ads.
Technical issues (slow site, portal down)	High traffic; maintenance	Try during off‑peak hours; use a stable internet; use different browser or device.

9. Example Scenarios

Here are some examples to help you understand better:

Chinedu applied via UTME to FUTA, took Post‑UTME, uploaded all O’Level results.
On 10th September, he logs into the FUTA portal, enters his JAMB registration number — “Congratulations you have been admitted”.
Then he goes to JAMB CAPS, sees the offer, accepts it. Downloads admission letter. Pays acceptance fee. Visits FUTA for registration.

Example 2: Direct Entry Candidate, Not Yet Admitted

Aisha used Direct Entry; she met the minimum requirement.
On first batch, she checks online — on FUTA portal and JAMB CAPS — “Admission in Progress” or “Not Admitted Yet”.
She checks over the next few weeks; in the second or supplementary batch, her status changes to “Admitted”.

Example 3: Wrong Data Entry
