The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has temporarily halted the operation of its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) as the admission exercise for tertiary institutions kicks off nationwide. CAPS serves as the central platform through which JAMB processes admissions into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB's Acting Director of Public Affairs and Protocols, revealed that the technical difficulties arose due to hosting arrangements. JAMB is actively engaged with the organization responsible for hosting CAPS in a bid to restore the system. The disruption comes at a critical time as CAPS is the central platform for processing admissions across the country.
Acknowledging the timing of the disruption, JAMB emphasized the importance of keeping candidates, institutions, and other stakeholders informed. Rather than allowing speculation to prevail, the board is providing this update while making all necessary efforts to restore the platform.
