Many candidates have been complaining of some JAMB CAPS Admission status that they see when they checked their admission status.
So many are curious to know the meaning of their admission status. So Studentmajor.com has taken note of those problems and have compiled solutions to all of them as follows:
1. Why is JAMB CAPS showing only “Welcome but Blank”?
If you are one of the candidates facing this challenge, then you should know that your JAMB CAPS is showing only Welcome but Blank because your device is not compatible with viewing your JAMB Admission status contents.
Your JAMB CAPS has displayed your JAMB Admission status but your phone is only able to display “welcome” because your phone/browser cannot display the other details.
The solution to this: The only solution here is to select the 3 dotted lines that look like this ⋮ at the top right corner of your phone browser and then mark the ‘Desktop site‘.
With this, your phone will now be using a Desktop Version that can view your complete 2021 JAMB Admission status.

They will continually send lists of their newly admitted candidates to JAMB to upload it to the candidate’s JAMB CAPS Admission status.

If your JAMB CAPS is showing “Admission In progress”, then that is a simple notification to tell you that JAMB has received your name as one of the candidates that have been considered for admission to the school you apply for.
