  "summary": "The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has outlined three reasons why candidates may not find their names on the matriculation list. The first reason is the most common, while the third is the most important. According to JAMB, one reason could be that candidates have not accepted their admission on the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) or their admission status reads \"not admitted.\" In such cases, candidates are advised to return to their institutions to have their admissions processed. Another reason could be that the institutions have not forwarded the verified matriculation details to JAMB, in which case candidates should contact their institutions to process their admissions on CAPS. Lastly, the board identified failure to print the JAMB original result slip and admission letter as another reason for missing names on the matriculation list, advising affected candidates to visit the nearest JAMB office or an approved Computer-Based Test centre to have the documents printed.",
