"The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has restored full portal access for candidates seeking to correct their institution choices, swap courses, and upload O’Level results for the 2026/2027 admission cycle."
JAMB Reopens Critical Correction of Data Portals on e-Facility
In a highly anticipated move that has brought widespread relief to hundreds of thousands of candidates across the federation, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially restored access to its correction of data services on the e-Facility portal. Prior to this restoration, candidates faced delays and technical bottlenecks in correcting mistakes made during the UTME registration phase, which threatened their eligibility for the ongoing 2026/2027 post-UTME screening exercises.
With this update, candidates can now seamlessly change their first, second, or third choice institutions, swap courses to align with their actual UTME subject combinations, and upload their WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB O’Level results onto the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). The restoration is critical as several state and federal universities have already announced deadlines for their screening applications.
The Technical Mandate and Process Flow
According to technical representatives from JAMB, the portal became fully operational following system maintenance designed to ease congestion on the e-Facility network. Candidates wishing to utilize these services are required to log into their official profiles using their registered email addresses and passwords.
JAMB has emphasized that all uploads of O’Level results must be done through accredited CBT centers. Re-uploading through unaccredited cybercafés remains a major reason why many candidates fail to secure admission, as their documents do not sync correctly with the CAPS database.
Implications for Post-UTME Applicants
Candidates who scored below their initial choice-university cut-offs now have a golden opportunity to migrate to other institutions—such as state universities, polytechnics, or colleges of education—where their scores are highly competitive.
