The Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) is an automated platform for all institutions to conduct their admissions. This system engenders transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness devoid of human interference.

JAMB’s warning to Candidates

Institutions are the major actors with the sole authority to recommend candidates for admission while the board supervises by ensuring that all candidates are fairly, equitably and transparently treated.

Consequently, the conduct of admission by institutions on their portals is a flagrant abuse of CAPS which is the only credible avenue for institutions to conduct admissions.

Any admission into First Degree, National Certificate of Education, National Diploma and National Innovative Diploma (Part-Time and Sandwich inclusive) not on the official letterhead of the board or outside CAPS is Null and Void and would not be condoned by JAMB.

Institutions are to note that admitting candidates outside CAPS would jeopardize candidate’s participation in the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilization exercise or any job placement which requires the certification or endorsement of the board.
