Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic (KENPOLY) has released its 2025/2026 admission list for National Diploma candidates. Admitted students can check their status through the JAMB CAPS portal or at the school notice board. Read below for full steps and what to do next.

If you’ve been refreshing your phone, peeking at your email every few minutes, or asking friends if the list is out, take a deep breath. The long wait is finally over. Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic (KENPOLY), once known as Rivers State Polytechnic (RIVPOLY), has officially released its admission list for the 2025/2026 academic session.

This list includes candidates who have been offered provisional admission into the school’s National Diploma (ND) programmes. For many, it’s a moment that brings both excitement and relief — a sigh that says, “At last.”

How to Check the KENPOLY Admission List

Now, let’s talk about checking that status. You’ve got two ways to go about it, and neither is hard.

• Option 1: Visit the school notice board on campus. Yes, the good old way. Sometimes, that’s the fastest. You’ll find the list pasted neatly, with hundreds of eyes scanning for their names. It’s a whole experience on its own.
• Option 2: Check online through the JAMB CAPS portal. This one lets you confirm your admission from anywhere.

Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Go to the JAMB E-Facility portal.
2. Log in with your JAMB-registered email and password.
3. Scroll down and click on “Check Admission Status.”
4. Tap “Access my CAPS.”
5. Select “Admission Status” to see if your name made it to KENPOLY.

What the JAMB CAPS Messages Mean

Sometimes you’ll see a message and wonder, “So what exactly does this mean?” Here’s a quick breakdown to clear that up.

• ADMISSION OFFERED: Congratulations, JAMB has approved your admission! You can now accept or reject it right there on CAPS.
• ADMISSION IN PROGRESS (AIP): Your school has recommended you. The process is still moving between your department and JAMB for final approval.
• RECOMMENDED: Your school has proposed your name, and JAMB is currently reviewing it.
• NOT ADMITTED: No offer yet. It could be that your school hasn’t released the next batch or your application is still being processed.
• PENDING: The review is ongoing, so don’t panic. Keep checking back.

If you’ve been offered admission, send ACCEPT or REJECT as a text to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile. After you accept, print your JAMB Admission Letter for your records.

A Small Tip for Phone Users

If you’re checking on your phone and can’t see the “Admission Status” button, don’t stress. Most mobile browsers don’t show the full CAPS page by default. Simply open Chrome, tap the menu icon, and select “Request Desktop Site.” That should fix it.
