JAMB extends deadline for 2021-2025 admission acceptance to November 30

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the deadline for candidates with outstanding admission offers from 2021 to 2025 to either accept or reject those offers. This extension was announced on the board's X handle, granting affected candidates until November 30, 2026, to take action. Previously, JAMB had set the deadline for affected candidates at August 31, 2026, but extended it to September 30, 2026.

The board urged candidates to log into their CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System) accounts and indicate whether they wish to accept or reject their offers. Failure to act by the extended deadline of November 30, 2026, would result in the loss of the status of their outstanding offers on JAMB's records. JAMB cautioned candidates against waiting until the last minute and emphasized the importance of checking their CAPS accounts and making timely decisions.

The board further warned that any subsequent request to update an admission that has not been accepted or rejected after November 30 would attract applicable penalty fees.
