Am I to Pay Acceptance Fee on JAMB or School Portal? here is the answer
candidates frequently become confused about where to pay the acceptance fees. Admission is granted by JAMB. You are admitted to school. But who should receive the acceptance fee?
I’d analyzed that admissions will be available from both the school and the Joint Matriculation and Examination Board (JAMB). According to reports, both will provide spaces for admitted students to accept admissions.
For JAMB, you must log into your JAMB profile and navigate to the JAMB CAPS section, where you can accept or reject admission if it is offered.
For the school of your choice, you can check your admission status directly on the school’s website via a dedicated section, link, portal, or news board.
However, candidates frequently become confused about where to pay the acceptance fees. Admission is granted by JAMB. You are admitted to school. But who should receive the acceptance fee?
Should you pay the JAMB acceptance fee? In other words, is the acceptance fee payable on the JAMB portal in the same way that JAMB admission letters and the original JAMB result are? Or must candidates strictly pay to the school via a dedicated link or age?
This post will answer your question as succinctly as possible while also clearing the air on a few thorny issues.
The Acceptance Fee is Paid to Schools Other Than JAMB
In general, admitted candidates must visit their schools’ admission websites (usually post UTME/screening portals) and make specific payments to the school’s/purses government’s in order to pay the acceptance fee. As a result, you pay your acceptance fee to your school instead of JAMB.
That’s the entire point of my response to your question. However, you may be confused about a few points that I am aware of.
Let’s get this sorted out.
Acceptance Payment May Not Be Immediately After The Admission
You might be wondering why you can’t find a place to pay the acceptance fee as soon as you see your admission offer.
Most of the time, this is possible. A few schools will offer you admission through the JAMB portal or the school portal but may not immediately open the acceptance fee.
In fact, after being admitted by the JAMB CAPS, it usually takes a few days or weeks to see admission offers on the school portal. The same holds true for the payment of the acceptance fee. You may need to wait a few days after your JAMB or school portal admission before the payment is activated for you.
You received your offer from JAMB before starting school.
You received your offer from JAMB before starting school. That does not mean you should consider paying the JAMB acceptance fee. You must wait for the school to post the same list on her website. The acceptance fee should then be made available almost immediately after the lists are loaded onto the school portals.
You Only Owe JAMB a few Payments After Being Admitted
If admitted on the JAMB portal and you’d accepted the offer, you probably need to make two or three payments at most.
- Payment for the Change of Institution/Course: If you are offered a course that differs from the one you applied for, you must pay for the change of course and effect the change at a JAMB office, nearest CBT center, or connected cafes near you. Change will, of course, be required if your school has transferred you to another course/department and you have accepted the offer.
- Payment for JAMB Admission Letters: Candidates must pay for the letters before they can print a two-page admission letter as evidence of being offered admission by the matriculation board.
- Payment for Original JAMB result: Because this will be required for fresher documentation and at times for the physical screenings, candidates are required to pay for and print their JAMB original results.
Aside from the three listed above, you do not have to pay JAMB after being admitted. Your fees, including acceptance, tuition, and medical, will be paid only to your school.
