The purpose of the forum is to sensitize the candidates on how the newly introduced Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) works.

The Board in the discharge of its mandate has developed the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to automate the admission exercise starting with 2017 2018 Academic Session.

CAPS will, among other benefits:
i. Refocus JAMB on its founding ideals as a Clearing House for the Admissions Process
ii. Ensure operational efficiency
iii. Promote transparency, accountability, inclusiveness and equity
iv. Restore the autonomy of the tertiary institutions with respect to admission
v. Expand admission opportunities
vi Make candidates the Central Focus of the Admission Exercise, and
vii. Provide credible and easily accessible Data for Research & Planning.
