Issues Checking Jamb CAP And Solutions

Jamb CAPS Website Slow Loading

The Jamb Caps Portal can be very slow sometimes. If you click on a link, it will seem like it will not respond. It is most times not because of your Network.

The issue is due to the fact that many persons are checking admission status at the same time making the server very slow.

The solution is to refresh the page or login again. I have offered a solution to an invalid email/username or password when trying to log in below this page.

Invalid E-mail Address or Password

Jamb Caps Portal can tell you an Invalid Email or Password…

When you visit jamb.gov.ng/efacility, you will see a box to enter your email and password and then login. If you get the error, Invalid e-Mail Address or Password, Try Again then it means something is wrong. It is either your email was not entered correctly or the password you entered is wrong.

Passwords are case-sensitive, when it comes to password, boy is different from Boy. The first is all small letters while the latter start with a capital letter.

Keyboard issues may also lead to this. If your keyboard is bad, you may think you’re entering the correct password but meanwhile, you are entering the wrong thing.

If you are sure of the email and password you entered plus the fact that your phone or laptop keyboard is working very well, but the issue persists, then you have to reset the password.

How To Reset Password To Login To Caps

Forgot your password?
Click here to reset your password.

On the Jamb Caps Login Screen, you will see Click here to reset your password. Enter your email and date of birth and then click on the Get Password link via Email. Now, open your email and follow the link sent from Jamb to reset your Jamb password.

Some times, it returns the Jamb e-facility Error handle as shown below:

We are sorry

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed,
or had processing error or is temporarily unavailable

If you are having the error above after trying it for three different days, then your best bet is to visit any Jamb office or approved Jamb CBT Centre for 2019/2020 to reset your password and be able to access your Caps and Jamb profile once again.
