Updated on 6 November 2026 · How we verify
Quick answer: There are two admission letters. The JAMB admission letter is printed on efacility.jamb.gov.ng for ₦1,000 (plus ₦200 service charge) after you accept your offer on CAPS. The UI (provisional) admission letter is downloaded from the school portal after you pay the acceptance fee. You need both for clearance and registration.

How to print your JAMB admission letter for UI

- Enter your JAMB registration number and click Print. Save the PDF and print at least two copies.
- Check that the institution, course and session read correctly — errors must be corrected before clearance.

- Confirm your admission status and pay the acceptance fee (generate invoice, pay, re-query).
- Open Admission Letter / Print Provisional Admission Letter and download the PDF.
- Bring the printed letter, your JAMB admission letter and originals to physical clearance.
Why both letters matter
| Document | Why you need it |
|---|---|
| JAMB admission letter | Proof the admission is in JAMB’s records; required for clearance, NYSC mobilisation and some scholarships. |
| UI provisional letter | The school’s own offer with the acceptance-fee deadline and reporting instructions. |
Common problems
- “No admission record”: you have not accepted on CAPS, or the school has not uploaded your admission. Check CAPS first.
- Wrong course on the letter: the school processed you for a different course; accept/reject accordingly and contact admissions.
- Payment not reflecting: re-query the transaction with the RRR; do not pay twice.
- Old admission (previous years): you can still print it — see JAMB regularization if your admission was not through CAPS.

Verify before you pay or act: School portal menus differ; the JAMB steps are the same for every institution. The only authoritative source for UI is ui.edu.ng and the school’s official notice boards. If a figure here differs from what the school publishes, the school is right.
