📌 Overview
The Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) is the sole platform for managing admissions in Nigeria. For the 2026/2027 session, candidates are urged to interact with the portal frequently to track their status. Whether you are checking for an offer, managing an 'O'Level result update, or considering a change of course, the portal is the final authority.
Crucially, if you are planning to change your course or institution, you are advised to wait until all mop-up exams are finalized to prevent technical conflicts in your profile. Failure to accept or reject an offer within the stipulated window can lead to automatic expiration of your admission opportunity.
