⢠Click on âCheck Admission Statusâ and select âAccess my CAPSâ.
⢠Under âAdmission Statusâ, review the response. If offered, your photo and congratulatory message will show; if not, it will read âSorry No Admission has been Given Yetâ.
⢠If youâve been offered admission, you may need to Accept or Reject the offer via SMS or online as per instructions (such as sending ACCEPT or REJECT to a short code, or using the portal).
