Schedule viewing is now available ahead of the screening exercise scheduled for September 25–30, 2026.

📊 JAMB CAPS Admissions Are Still Moving
Admission processing continues through JAMB CAPS, with candidates expected to regularly monitor their admission status.
Candidates who have pending admission matters should continue checking their CAPS dashboard and follow any instructions requiring action.
⚠️ Outstanding JAMB Admission Offers
Candidates with outstanding admission offers from 2021 to date have until September 30, 2026, according to the current deadline.
JAMB has described September 30 as the final opportunity for affected candidates to accept or reject their outstanding offers.
Candidates should resolve any outstanding offer before the deadline.

📝 NECO 2026 SSCE Results Remain Officially Unconfirmed
The status of the 2026 NECO SSCE results remains officially unconfirmed based on the information available for this briefing.
Candidates should therefore avoid paying individuals or websites based solely on claims that the results are being released "today" or are already available.
The safest approach is to wait for an official NECO release announcement and use the official result-checking platform when the results are formally released.
---
⚠️ LAUTECH JUPEB Deadline Extension Claim
A claim concerning a possible LAUTECH JUPEB deadline extension to October 27 is circulating.
However, the claim has not been treated as an official confirmation in this briefing.
