Published: September 28, 2026 | Source: CampusAI News
š Overview
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) has been fully restored and is now operational following a temporary disruption.
JAMB informed candidates, institutions and other stakeholders that admissions processing can now continue through CAPS.
With the system restored, institutions have been urged to accelerate their admission processes in order to recover lost time and meet the approved admission deadlines.
Candidates who have received admission offers are also advised to promptly accept their offers.
š“ JAMB CAPS Is Fully Operational Again
JAMB has confirmed that the temporary disruption affecting the Central Admissions Processing System has been resolved.
With CAPS now operational, institutions can continue processing admissions while candidates can continue checking their admission status and responding to admission offers.
Candidates who have already been offered admission should take the necessary steps to accept their admission offers promptly.

š Candidates With Awaiting NECO Results Should Act
Following the release of the 2026 NECO SSCE results, JAMB has advised candidates who previously used awaiting-result status to upload and/or verify their results promptly.
This is particularly important as institutions intensify their admission processes.
Candidates should ensure that their O'Level credentials are properly available for consideration during the admission exercise.

Candidates are advised to take the following steps:
1. ā
Log into their JAMB e-Facility account.
2. ā
Check their admission status regularly.
3. ā
Accept any admission offer promptly if they intend to take it.
4. ā
Candidates who previously used awaiting results should upload and/or verify their NECO results where required.

6. ā
Keep track of the relevant admission deadlines.
ā ļø Avoid Unauthorised Admission Agents
Candidates should be careful when dealing with individuals who claim they can secure admission or manipulate JAMB CAPS.
Admission-related activities should be carried out through official JAMB and institutional channels.
Candidates should also avoid giving their JAMB login details, passwords or other sensitive information to unauthorised persons.
