How to Allow Pop-ups for the JAMB Website

If you’re trying to access important features on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) site but keep getting blocked, it’s likely due to your browser’s pop-up settings. Many JAMB services, such as result checking, profile creation, and admission status verification, require pop-ups to function correctly. In this guide, we’ll show you how to allow pop-ups for the JAMB website on different browsers.

Why Do You Need to Enable Pop-ups for JAMB?

The JAMB site uses pop-ups for certain services, including:

1. Printing of examination slips

2. Checking UTME and Direct Entry results

3. Admission status verification on CAPS

4. Payment confirmation pages

If pop-ups are blocked, you may not be able to access these important pages. That’s why you need to enable them.
