How to check FUBK Admission List 2025/2026 Online

Federal University Birnin Kebbi has released its 2025/2026 admission list. Applicants are advised to check their names on the JAMB CAPS portal and follow the next steps. Read the full guide below for details.

The Federal University, Birnin Kebbi has opened the books for the new academic year. The admission list for the 2025/2026 session is now out, and for many young people, this could be the turning point. The wait is over, the names are in, and the race for the next chapter begins.

Some will find their names at first glance, while others may have to refresh the page more than once. Either way, the process is the same, and it is laid out step by step.

How to Check the FUBK Admission List on JAMB CAPS

Checking your status is only possible on the JAMB CAPS portal. It might feel stiff at first, but it is really a matter of clicking through carefully. Here is the order to follow:

  • Go to the JAMB eFacility portal.
  • Type in your JAMB username and password to log in.
  • Scroll until you see “Check Admission Status” and click it.
  • Select “Access my CAPS.”
  • Tap “Admission Status” to know if FUBK has given you admission.

For those who are successful, the next action is either to accept or reject the offer. This is done by sending ACCEPT or REJECT to 55019 or 66019. Make sure you send it from the same phone number tied to your JAMB record.

What If Your Status Says “Not Admitted”?

Do not be alarmed if you see “Admission Still in Progress” or “Not Admitted.” The system updates often, and a change may come any day. Keep checking, do not close the chapter too soon.

After Acceptance: Print Your Admission Letter

Once you accept the offer, take another step. Print your JAMB admission letter. It may look like a simple sheet of paper, but it is your official proof. You will need it during registration and beyond.

Phone Users, Take Note

Many students use phones, and here is where a snag pops up. On some screens, the CAPS page shows only a welcome note with no admission option. The fix is simple: switch your browser to desktop mode. If you are on Chrome, open settings, then choose “request desktop site.” That way, the full page appears, and you can continue without stress.
