The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the temporary unavailability of its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) due to technical challenges associated with the platform’s hosting arrangements.
The Board disclosed this in a notice to candidates, tertiary institutions and other users of the CAPS platform, assuring them that efforts are underway to restore the system to full functionality.
According to JAMB, it has commenced intensive engagement with the organisation responsible for hosting the platform to address the technical issues and resolve the disruption as quickly as possible.
CAPS Disruption Affects Admission Activities
The temporary outage comes at a critical period of the admission exercise, when candidates and institutions rely on CAPS for various admission-related activities, including checking and processing admission status.
JAMB acknowledged the importance of the platform to candidates and institutions, particularly at this stage of the admission process, and expressed regret over the inconvenience the disruption may cause.
JAMB Promises Further Updates
The Board assured candidates, institutions and other CAPS users that it is working to resolve the problem and restore access to the platform.
JAMB also said it would provide further updates as developments unfold, urging affected users to remain patient and await official information from the Board.
The disruption means candidates who are currently unable to access CAPS may need to wait until the platform is restored before carrying out activities that require access to the system.
