Final Deadline Approaches for JAMB Admission Offers

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set a final deadline for candidates to accept or reject their admission offers, with no further extensions. Candidates must respond through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) portal or via SMS.

The article details how to log into the CAPS portal, emphasizing the importance of using the correct email and password. It also explains the various admission status messages, such as "Admission Offered," "Admission in Progress," and "Not Admitted," and what actions candidates should take based on these statuses.

A common issue faced by candidates is the mobile view of the portal, which can hide critical tabs; switching to "Desktop Site" mode can resolve this. Additionally, candidates are advised to visit a JAMB-accredited CBT center or JAMB office if they encounter issues.

The original deadline of August 31, 2026, has been extended, but candidates are urged to act promptly.
