UNILORIN Attributes Admission Delay to JAMB CAPS Portal Outage.

The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has attributed the delay in the processing and release of its 2026/2027 admission offers to the ongoing technical disruption affecting the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).

JAMB recently announced that CAPS was temporarily unavailable due to technical challenges associated with its hosting arrangements, noting that the Board was engaging the hosting organisation to restore the platform to full functionality.

The temporary outage has consequently affected candidates who are expecting their admission status to begin reflecting on JAMB CAPS including the University of Ilorin.

UNILORIN applicants are therefore advised not to panic or conclude that they have not been considered for admission simply because their status has not yet changed. Candidates should remain patient while the technical issue is being resolved.

The university further assured that all applications are being processed and that no candidate will be unfairly disadvantaged by the downtime. Once CAPS is restored, admission offers will be uploaded and candidates will be able to check their status as usual.

Applicants are advised to monitor the official UNILORIN and JAMB portals for updates, and to avoid relying on unofficial sources for information about their admission status. The university has promised to communicate any new development promptly once the platform is back online.
