  If you checked your JAMB CAPS admission status and saw “Admission in Progress,” you may be wondering what it means and whether you have already been offered admission. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) recently clarified the meaning of the different admission statuses candidates may see on the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
