The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has restored its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) after a temporary disruption, clearing the way for institutions to continue processing admissions for the 2026/2027 academic session.
In a statement on Monday, the board said CAPS had been “fully restored and is now operational”, urging institutions to accelerate their admission processes to make up for 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 who receive admission offers to promptly accept them.
For the ongoing admission exercise, JAMB said public universities have until October 31, 2026, to complete their processes, while private universities have until November 30, 2026.
