JAMB has issued a fresh advisory directed at candidates from the 2020–2025 admission sessions who still have an old admission offer sitting untouched on their CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System) profile. According to the notice, any candidate who fails to formally reject or terminate a previous admission risks being blocked from participating in the 2026 admission exercise. In simple terms: that old offer you never acted on isn't harmless — it's now standing between you and a fresh admission this year.
Effect on Candidates
- Risk of Outright Offers
JAMB has made it clear that an unresolved past admission can lead to a candidate being locked out of the 2026 admission process entirely.
- Unattended Admissions
CAPS is designed to prevent a candidate from holding more than one active admission at a time. An old, unterminated offer can flag your profile as "already admitted," even if you never attended that institution.
- The Delay
Institutions offering you admission this year may be unable to process it if your CAPS profile shows a conflicting, unresolved record from a previous session.
- Lost Opportunities
Many candidates genuinely forget about old offers from years back, only to discover — too late that it's quietly costing them a spot they've worked hard for in the current cycle.
How to clear it
1. Log in to your JAMB CAPS profile using your registered email and password at caps.jamb.gov.ng.
2. Go to "Admission Status" and check for any pending offers from previous sessions (2020–2025).
3. Reject or terminate any old admission you no longer intend to take up — do this directly on the portal, not through a third party.
4. Confirm the update reflects on your profile before proceeding with any 2026 admission application or acceptance.
Final Word
if you have an old, unresolved admission offer, don't leave it hanging — clearing it now takes a few minutes, but ignoring it could cost you your chance at 2026 admission.
Kindly Note that previous admission alone does not only disqualify Candidates but also minor mistakes like Mismatch of Names,errors in DOB,LGA mistakes, Names arrangements loss of email address or phone, NIN issue can also result to disqualification of Admission
Stay informed. Stay ahead.
