The management of Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, has commenced the release of admission offers for the 2026/2027 academic session, giving prospective students a reason to check their admission status.
Candidates who applied for undergraduate admission and participated in the university’s admission screening exercise can now begin checking for their admission offers through the KWASU admission portal and JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
Reports on the 2026/2027 admission exercise indicate that KWASU has started uploading recommended candidates to CAPS, with the process taking place in batches. Some programmes have reportedly begun appearing on CAPS, while other candidates are expected to receive their offers as processing continues.
KWASU’s Admissions Office also explains that admission recommendations commence after the screening registration deadline and that successful candidates are subsequently updated on JAMB CAPS to accept their admission and print their admission letters.
How to Check KWASU 2026/2027 Admission Status
Candidates should check both the KWASU portal and JAMB CAPS.
Check Through the KWASU Portal
Step 1: Visit the official KWASU undergraduate admission portal: “KWASU Admission Portal”
Step 2: Click on “Verify Your Details” or the appropriate admission-status option.
Step 3: Enter your JAMB registration number and other required details.
Step 4: Log into your application dashboard.
Step 5: Check your admission status and programme offered.
Candidates who have been offered admission should carefully follow the instructions displayed on their portal.
Check Through JAMB CAPS
Step 1: Visit the official JAMB e-Facility portal
Step 2: Log in with the email address and password linked to your JAMB profile.
Step 3: Select “Check Admission Status.”
Step 4: Select “Access My CAPS.”
Step 5: Click “Admission Status.”
If KWASU has offered you admission and the offer has been processed by JAMB, your status should show “Admitted.”
Candidates should accept the offer if they intend to take up the admission.
What If My CAPS Still Says “Not Admitted”?
Don’t panic. KWASU admission is being processed in stages. This means candidates may receive offers at different times.
Your CAPS could show:
- Admitted
- Admission in Progress
- Not Admitted
- No admission information yet
A candidate who has not received an offer should continue checking the two portals regularly while the admission exercise remains ongoing.
Candidates should also ensure that their O’Level results have been uploaded correctly to JAMB.
What to Do After Receiving Admission
Receiving the “Admitted” status is only the beginning of the next stage.
1. Accept the admission
Log into JAMB CAPS and click “ACCEPT” if you want to take up the offer.
Do not click “REJECT” unless you are certain that you do not want the admission.
2. Print your JAMB Admission Letter
After accepting the offer, print your official JAMB admission letter when it becomes available.
3. Complete KWASU acceptance and clearance
Follow KWASU’s official instructions on acceptance-fee payment, clearance, school-fee payment and registration.
4. Prepare your documents
Fresh students should keep the following documents ready, subject to KWASU’s final clearance requirements:
- JAMB admission letter
- JAMB result slip
- O’Level result
- Birth certificate or declaration of age
- Certificate of origin
- Passport photographs
- KWASU admission/application documents
- Other documents specified by the university
Candidates should wait for KWASU’s official instructions before making payments or submitting documents.
KWASU 2026/2027 Admission Requirements
KWASU’s official 2026/2027 pre-admission screening document states that admission will be assessed using an aggregate of 70 per cent UTME/Direct Entry score and 30 per cent from five relevant O’Level grades.
Candidates generally require five relevant O’Level credits in not more than two sittings, except for MBBS, which requires the relevant credits in one sitting.
Candidates awaiting O’Level results were allowed to participate in the screening exercise but must make their results available before the end of the admission exercise to be considered for admission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is KWASU 2026/2027 admission out?
Yes. Admission processing and uploading of offers have commenced for the 2026/2027 session. Candidates should check JAMB CAPS and the KWASU portal. The release is progressive, so not every candidate will see an offer immediately.
Will everybody see “Admitted” at the same time?
No. Admission offers are processed and uploaded progressively. Some candidates may receive offers before others.
My KWASU portal shows admission, but CAPS does not. What should I do?
Give the process time and continue checking CAPS. The final JAMB admission status is important because JAMB CAPS is the official platform through which candidates accept their admission.
My CAPS says “Not Admitted.” Does this mean I have lost admission?
Not necessarily. If KWASU’s admission exercise is still ongoing, continue checking. Also verify that your O’Level result has been uploaded correctly.
What does “Admission in Progress” mean?
It generally means your admission is still undergoing processing. Keep checking rather than assuming that you have been rejected.
Can somebody upgrade my JAMB CAPS?
No legitimate agent can guarantee an admission upgrade. KWASU itself warns candidates and members of the public against people pretending to be university agents. Admission is handled by the university and JAMB.
What should I do after accepting my admission?
Accept the offer on CAPS, print your JAMB admission letter and follow KWASU’s official instructions for acceptance payment, clearance, school fees and course registration.
How was the 2026/2027 admission assessed?
KWASU’s official screening guidelines state that the aggregate comprises 70% UTME/DE score and 30% from five relevant O’Level grades.
Final Advice to Candidates
Candidates who have not yet received admission should remain patient and continue checking their status. Those who have been admitted should accept their offers on JAMB CAPS and follow KWASU’s official instructions for the next stage.
Most importantly, candidates should avoid admission touts, fake portals and anyone demanding money to “upgrade” or “confirm” an admission. Your admission is personal. Verify it yourself on JAMB CAPS and the official KWASU portal.
