The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the restoration of its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), saying the platform is now fully operational.

In a statement on Monday, the board urged tertiary institutions to speed up their admission processes to make up for time lost during the temporary disruption and ensure they meet the approved deadlines.

JAMB also advised candidates who receive admission offers to accept them promptly to avoid delays in the admission process.

For the 2026/2027 admission exercise, public universities have until October 31, 2026, to conclude their admission processes, while private universities have been given until November 30, 2026.

The board also called on candidates who were previously waiting for their examination results to upload or verify their credentials following the release of the 2026 NECO Senior School Certificate Examination results.

According to JAMB, updating the credentials will ensure that candidates' results are available for consideration as institutions intensify their admission exercises.

The board urged candidates, institutions and other stakeholders to take advantage of the restored CAPS platform and proceed with the admission process within the approved timelines.

JAMB expressed regret over the inconvenience caused by the temporary disruption and thanked candidates, institutions and other stakeholders for their patience and understanding.
