BU Admission List 2026/2027 – How to Check

Updated on 6 November 2026 · How we verify

Quick answer: The BU admission list for 2026/2027 is released in batches after screening, and every valid offer appears on JAMB CAPS at efacility.jamb.gov.ng. Check CAPS first, then the BU portal (admission.babcock.edu.ng). An offer that is not on CAPS is not a valid admission.

Frequently asked questions

Is the BU admission list for 2026/2027 out?

BU releases its list in batches after post-UTME/screening. Check JAMB CAPS and the BU portal; this page is updated when a batch is released.

Can I check the BU admission list without a JAMB registration number?

No. Your JAMB registration number (or the application number the school issued) is required on both CAPS and the school portal.

My name is on the BU portal but not on CAPS. Am I admitted?

Not yet. JAMB only recognises admissions processed through CAPS. Contact the admissions office so the school uploads your offer; do not pay acceptance fees for an offer that is not on CAPS.

What if I was offered a different course by BU?

You can accept it or reject it on CAPS. If you reject, you may be considered by other schools via the Marketplace or do a change of course.

How long does BU give to accept admission?

Deadlines vary by batch, usually two to four weeks. The acceptance-fee deadline is shown on the portal when you check your status.
