📌 Overview
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has formally announced that the admission portal for the 2026/2027 academic session will officially close on November 30, 2026. This directive is part of a broader effort to stabilize the academic calendar, which has faced significant disruptions in recent years due to industrial actions and administrative delays.
Institutional heads have been instructed to ensure that all admission processes, including internal screening and the uploading of candidates' details to the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), are concluded before the stated date. Universities failing to comply risk having their institutional portals locked, preventing the formal admission of their candidates for the current session.
