The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has confirmed that its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) is currently down, attributing the outage to technical glitches with the platform’s hosting provider.
The disruption is affecting the ongoing university admission exercise, which relies on CAPS to process and allocate candidates to tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
JAMB officials said the issue stems from problems with the hosting service that supports the online system, and they are working to resolve the technical fault as quickly as possible.
Applicants and institutions have been advised to await further updates from JAMB while the board addresses the hosting challenges and restores full functionality to the CAPS platform.
CAPS is the primary digital gateway for Nigerian students seeking admission to higher‑education institutions, and any prolonged downtime can delay the allocation of study places for the current academic session.
