JAMB confirms CAPS restoration and admission timelines
JAMB’s official September 28, 2026 bulletin says CAPS was fully restored on Sunday, September 27, 2026, after being unavailable for approximately 96 hours.
The bulletin urges institutions to accelerate admission processing and candidates to promptly accept admission offers made through CAPS.
JAMB also records the following 2026/2027 admission timelines:
| Institution category | Expected completion date |
| --- | --- |
| Public universities | October 31, 2026 |
| Private universities | November 30, 2026 |
| Other tertiary institutions | December 31, 2026 |
The same bulletin urges candidates who were waiting for NECO results to upload or verify their results so that institutions can consider their credentials.
Important clarification about the reported November 30 extension
Some secondary reports and social-media posts claim that JAMB extended the deadline for outstanding admission offers from 2021–2025 to November 30, 2026.
However, the official September 28 JAMB bulletin checked for this article confirms the CAPS restoration and the 2026/2027 institutional admission timelines above; it does not, in the accessible text reviewed, confirm the separate 2021–2025 outstanding-offer extension.
Candidates with older offers should therefore check their personal CAPS profile and await or locate a specific official JAMB notice before treating that extension as confirmed. Do not pay anyone who claims to be able to alter CAPS records manually.

FULOKOJA, LAUTECH and YABATECH: avoid stale or unsupported claims
Candidates should be careful with forwarded admission updates.
- FULOKOJA: The official screening notice reviewed states that its Post-UTME screening closed on September 13, 2026. A circulating October 5 CAPS recommendation date was not confirmed in that notice.
- LAUTECH: A claim that names are being uploaded to CAPS in batches was not independently verified from an official LAUTECH notice during this update.
- YABATECH: General advice to monitor the institution’s portal and CAPS is sensible, but no specific new admission deadline or list was confirmed for this article.
This does not mean candidates should stop checking their portals. It means candidates should distinguish between a confirmed official announcement and a forwarded claim.
What candidates should do today
1. Check whether your institution’s official screening portal is still open.
2. If applying to FUGASHUA, complete the process before October 7.
3. If applying to FUTO supplementary screening, complete the process before October 8 and verify O’Level upload on CAPS.
4. If applying to FUMHSF, complete the online screening before October 21.
5. Upload or verify O’Level results on JAMB CAPS where required.
6. Check CAPS and your school portal regularly.
7. Save payment receipts, acknowledgement slips and application details.
8. Do not pay agents who promise guaranteed admission or manual CAPS placement.
