JAMB Issues 2026 Direct Entry Admission Guide Video

On September 18, 2026, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) released an explainer video aimed at assisting Direct Entry candidates with the admission process for the 2026 academic session. The video details the steps from registration to ensuring that candidates' qualifications are accurately recorded prior to admission.

This initiative is part of JAMB's "JAMB Explained" series, and the video was shared on JAMB's verified X account. JAMB encouraged prospective students to view the video for guidance.

However, the post elicited numerous complaints from candidates facing challenges at various stages of the admission process. For instance, @Nicolemari42204 reported her status being stuck at "Recommended (AIP)" for two weeks before changing to "non-admitted." @superBoy0024 mentioned being locked out of the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) for over three weeks, while @OkeiDivine91272 noted discrepancies in his admission offer.

Other candidates, including @HardeYinkA121 and @JaneKadiri, raised concerns regarding A-level results, but JAMB had not publicly addressed these complaints at the time of the report.
