JAMB Restores CAPS, Urges Quick Action for 2026 Admissions
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced the restoration of its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) after a temporary disruption. In a statement, JAMB confirmed that CAPS is now operational and urged educational institutions to accelerate their admission processes to recover lost time and adhere to the agreed deadlines.
The deadline for the 2026/2027 admission exercise for public universities is October 31, 2026, while private universities have until November 30, 2026. Other tertiary institutions must complete their admissions by December 31, 2026.
JAMB also advised candidates who were awaiting their results to upload or verify their credentials following the release of the 2026 National Examinations Council Senior School Certificate Examination results. This step is crucial to ensure that candidates' credentials are available for consideration as institutions intensify their admission processes.
JAMB expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by the disruption and thanked stakeholders for their patience.
