Understanding the JAMB Acceptance Fee:

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) requires all provisionally admitted candidates to pay an acceptance fee. This non-refundable fee serves as confirmation of your acceptance of the offered admission and kickstarts your official enrollment process.

The specific amount of the acceptance fee varies depending on the institution, so be sure to check your institution’s website or admission letter for the exact figure.

JAMB provides several secure and convenient payment methods for the acceptance fee:

• After successful payment, print your admission letter from the portal.

2. University Portal:
