Are Admissions Still Going On In 2026?

Here are the universities that are still giving admission, and what I could and could not confirm about the ones that are not.

You may think it is over. The big schools have posted their lists, your group chat has gone quiet, and somebody just told you, "They have finished giving admission." Here is the plot twist: it has not finished.

On 28 September 2026, JAMB switched its admission system, CAPS, back on after a temporary disruption and told schools to hurry up. The final deadlines are still weeks away. Below you will find the official dates, the universities already releasing lists, and the honest truth about the schools I could not confirm. Read to the end, because there is a scam warning you need to see.

The Short Answer

Yes, admissions are still going on. JAMB restored its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) on 28 September 2026 after a temporary disruption and told schools to speed up admissions to make up for lost time. BusinessDay and Legit.ng both carried the announcement.

The Official Deadlines

Naija News also reports that JAMB said no institution may process admissions beyond its deadline, and that only offers approved through CAPS count.

Universities That Have Released 2026/2027 Admission Lists

These schools have released lists, based on the Exam Scholars tracker last updated on 24 September 2026. Many release in batches, so more names can still appear.

• Mercy Medical University, reported deadline 20 October 2026.
• KOMU supplementary Post-UTME/DE screening, reported by Exam Scholars.
• Many other schools have released Post-UTME or Direct Entry forms. See the running list at MySchoolGist.

Which Schools Are Not Giving Admission?

I could not find a verified list of schools that have stopped admitting, and I will not guess. Here is what is known. Once a department fills its approved NUC quota, CAPS stops accepting recommendations for that programme, however strong your score is. Universities also cannot admit after their deadline. If your school is not listed above, that does not mean it has closed. Many schools release their lists in batches or upload directly to CAPS without announcing it.

What To Do Now

• Check your status on JAMB eFacility and on your school's own portal.
• Upload or verify your O'Level result. No school can finish your admission without it.
• Accept an offer on CAPS only after confirming the school and course.
• Avoid paying anyone who promises "admission." A screenshot on WhatsApp is not proof.
