JAMB Restores CAPS, Sets Admission Deadlines for 2026/2027 Session

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the restoration of its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) following a temporary disruption.

 

In a statement on Monday, the board said CAPS had been fully restored and was now operational, urging institutions to accelerate their admission processes to recover lost time and meet the approved deadlines.

 

“With CAPS back online, institutions are urged to accelerate their admission processes to recover lost time and meet the agreed admission deadlines,” JAMB said.

 

The board also advised candidates to promptly accept admission offers made to them.

 

According to JAMB, the deadline for the 2026/2027 admission exercise is October 31, 2026, for public universities, while private universities have until November 30, 2026.

 

The deadline for other tertiary institutions is December 31, 2026.

 

JAMB also advised candidates who had previously been awaiting their results to upload or verify their credentials following the release of the 2026 National Examinations Council Senior School Certificate Examination results.

 

The board said the step was necessary “to ensure their credentials are available for consideration as institutions intensify their admission processes.”

 

JAMB apologised for the inconvenience caused by the temporary disruption and thanked candidates, institutions and other stakeholders for their patience and understanding.

 

The board urged all stakeholders to take advantage of the restoration of CAPS and complete the admission process within the approved timelines.
