The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Mr Segun Aina, has assured candidates that the 2027 UTME registration process will be far less stressful than what was experienced in 2026.

Speaking at the board's inaugural meeting on August 3, Mr Aina announced plans to introduce a new pre-registration mobile platform designed to let candidates register from the comfort of their homes. The platform will feature fast sign-ups, offline data collection, and instant validation, cutting down on the delays and errors that have previously frustrated applicants.

According to the Registrar, the system will also scan and verify documents automatically, reducing the risk of wrong data entry and other irregularities during registration.

"We shall continue to simplify our processes, improve our communication, strengthen our customer support, embrace technology where it makes service easier, protect information with the highest standards of security, invest in our people, modernise the way we work, and build systems that are efficient, transparent, and worthy of the confidence Nigerians place in us," Mr Aina said.

Once fully operational, the new system is expected to reduce registration time from about 20 minutes to just two or three minutes, marking a major step toward aligning JAMB's processes with international standards and easing the university admission process for Nigerian students.

𝗝𝗔𝗠𝗕 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗦 𝗔𝗗𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝟯𝟬, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the deadline for candidates offered admission between 2021 and 2026 to accept or reject their outstanding offers. The new deadline is now September 30, 2026, moved from the original August 31 date.

This extension applies to candidates with pending offers under both regular admissions and the Centralised University and Institution Admission Process (CUIIA).

JAMB's Acting Director of Public Affairs and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, described the extension as a final opportunity for affected candidates and urged them not to wait until the last day.

Candidates are advised to log into the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to confirm the status of their admission offers. JAMB has reiterated that only admissions processed and approved through CAPS will be officially recognized — any offer accepted outside the platform is at the candidate's own risk.

If you have an outstanding admission offer, check your CAPS profile now and take action before September 30, 2026.

JAMB has launched an online system letting 2026 UTME candidates verify and upload their O'Level results from home, without visiting CBT centres.

The service currently covers WAEC results. Here's how it works:

1. Visit JAMB's result verification portal
2. Provide your NIN, select number of sittings and exam body, enter email/GSM number, and pay
3. Enter your exam number, series, and year
4. You'll get a Verification Code
5. Text "VERIFY" plus the code to 55019 or 66019
6. Your verified result gets uploaded automatically

Candidates with two O'Level sittings should log into their e-Facility dashboard, select "2026 UTME O'Level Upload," enter the code, then choose 5–9 subjects before clicking "Apply the O'Level Results."

JAMB says the move is meant to cut down on long queues, network issues, and fraudulent or mismatched results at CBT centres.

JAMB SETS AUGUST 31 DEADLINE FOR CANDIDATES YET TO ACCEPT ADMISSION OFFERS

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set August 31, 2026, as the deadline for candidates with pending admission offers from the 2020–2025 admission cycles to either accept or reject their offers on the JAMB CAPS platform.

📌 What candidates need to know:

Candidates who have been offered admission but are yet to indicate their decision on CAPS are advised to log in and accept or reject the admission before the deadline.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is not a general deadline for every 2026 UTME candidate who has not yet received admission. The directive specifically concerns candidates with pending admission offers from the 2020–2025 admission cycles.

Candidates affected by the directive should take action early rather than waiting until the final day.

👉🏽 Log in to your JAMB CAPS, check your admission status and confirm whether you have any pending offer requiring your decision.

Candidates should also be careful with fake information and always verify important admission updates through JAMB’s official channels.

📢 If you know someone who has an old pending admission offer, share this update with them.

📢 JAMB ADMISSION NOTICE

Dear Candidates,

If you receive an SMS from JAMB asking you to accept or reject your admission before 31st August 2026, please don’t panic. It is a normal JAMB admission update.

You can accept your admission via SMS by sending:

Example: 202441876797AF ACCEPT

Send to 55019 or 66019.

JAMB WARNING TO 2020–2025 CANDIDATES

JAMB HAS SPOKEN📢

Failure to do so = Possible forfeiture of that admission

What to do now:

JAMB has issued a fresh advisory directed at candidates from the 2020–2025 admission sessions who still have an old admission offer sitting untouched on their CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System) profile. According to the notice, any candidate who fails to formally reject or terminate a previous admission risks being blocked from participating in the 2026 admission exercise. In simple terms: that old offer you never acted on isn't harmless — it's now standing between you and a fresh admission this year.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 — 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀

- 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
JAMB has made it clear that an unresolved past admission can lead to a candidate being locked out of the 2026 admission process entirely.

- 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁.
CAPS is designed to prevent a candidate from holding more than one active admission at a time. An old, unterminated offer can flag your profile as "already admitted," even if you never attended that institution.

- 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Institutions offering you admission this year may be unable to process it if your CAPS profile shows a conflicting, unresolved record from a previous session.

- 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀.
Many candidates genuinely forget about old offers from years back, only to discover — too late that it's quietly costing them a spot they've worked hard for in the current cycle.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗜𝘁

1. Log in to your JAMB CAPS profile using your registered email and password at caps.jamb.gov.ng.

2. Go to "Admission Status" and check for any pending offers from previous sessions (2020–2025).

3. Reject or terminate any old admission you no longer intend to take up — do this directly on the portal, not through a third party.

4. Confirm the update reflects on your profile before proceeding with any 2026 admission application or acceptance.

5. Contact JAMB Help Desk if the option to terminate isn't showin.

𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲:
if you have an old, unresolved admission offer, don't leave it hanging — clearing it now takes a few minutes, but ignoring it could cost you your chance at 2026 admission.

Kindly Note that previous admission alone does not only disqualifies Candidates but also minor mistakes like Mismatch of Names,errors in DOB,LGA mistakes, Names arrangements loss of email address or phone, NIN issue can also result to disqualification of Admission.

Stay informed. Stay ahead.
