Updated on 6 November 2026 · How we verify
Quick answer: The TPOLY 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 TPOLY portal. An offer that is not on CAPS is not a valid admission.
Last updated: November 2026 · Academic session: 2026/2027 · UTME year: 2026
Where the admission cycle stands (November 2026):
- 2026 UTME: held 16 – 25 April 2026; results released from 17 April 2026 (within 24 hours of the first papers).
- Cut-offs for 2026/2027: fixed at the JAMB policy meeting of 11 May 2026 (universities 150, colleges of nursing 150, polytechnics 100; NCE admission no longer requires UTME).
- Admissions now: institutions are uploading 2026/2027 offers to CAPS; JAMB deadline for polytechnics and monotechnics 31 December 2026. Accept any offer within four weeks.
- Next cycle: 2027 UTME registration is expected to open in late January 2027 — see the JAMB registration guide and JAMB exam date.

| Change of course list | Candidates offered a different course than they applied for — you may accept or reject on CAPS. |

Not admitted yet? Your options
- Wait for the supplementary list — TPOLY usually releases more than one batch.

Verify before you pay or act: Admission list timing is decided by the school’s senate/academic board and can change without notice. The only authoritative source for TPOLY is the school’s official website and the school’s official notice boards. If a figure here differs from what the school publishes, the school is right.
Frequently asked questions
Is the TPOLY admission list for 2026/2027 out?
TPOLY releases its list in batches after post-UTME/screening. Check JAMB CAPS and the TPOLY portal; this page is updated when a batch is released.
Can I check the TPOLY 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 TPOLY 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 TPOLY?
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 TPOLY 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.
