The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has restored its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), following a temporary disruption.
In a statement made available to the press on Monday, JAMB said CAPS had been “fully restored and is now operational,” urging institutions to accelerate their admission processes to recover lost time and meet the agreed 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.
It also advised candidates to promptly accept admission offers made to them. JAMB said the deadline for the 2026/2027 admission exercise for public universities is October 31, 2026, while private universities have until November 30, 2026.
The board also asked 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.
JAMB said the step was necessary “to ensure their credentials are available for consideration as institutions intensify their admission processes.”
The board added that it regretted the inconvenience caused by the temporary disruption and appreciated the patience and understanding of candidates, institutions and other stakeholders.
The statement read: “JAMB wishes to inform candidates, institutions and other stakeholders that the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) has been fully restored and is now operational, following the temporary disruption.
“Following the release of the 2026 NECO SSCE results, candidates who previously awaited their results are advised to upload and/or verify them promptly to ensure their credentials are available for consideration as institutions intensify their admission processes.”
The board urged all stakeholders to take advantage of the restoration of CAPS and proceed with the admission process within the approved timelines.
