JAMB extends admission deadline for candidates offered admission since 2021

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the admission deadline for candidates who received offers since 2021, granting them until September 30, 2026, to accept or reject their outstanding admission offers. This extension supersedes the previous deadline of August 31, 2026, providing candidates with more time to make a decision regarding their admission.

Candidates who accept their offers will receive admission letters, while those who reject them will have their status changed to “Not Admitted.” JAMB clarified that candidates who have secured admission in the 2026 admission cycle but still have a pending offer from a previous year can reject the earlier offer without impacting their new admission.

However, the Board emphasized that the September 30 deadline is final, and any outstanding offers that remain unaccepted or unrejected will automatically be reverted to “Not Admitted.”
