The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially reopened its portal for candidates to upload their O’Level results for the 2025 admission exercise. This move comes after a temporary suspension of the service, which had caused concern among UTME candidates awaiting admission into various tertiary institutions.
Why the Upload Is Important
Uploading O’Level results is a mandatory requirement for admission processing in Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. Without this step, candidates will not be considered for admission, even if they scored high marks in the UTME. The portal ensures that institutions can verify each candidate’s academic qualifications directly before granting admission.
How to Upload O’Level Results
Candidates are advised to follow the correct procedure to avoid mistakes that could affect their admission chances.
- Visit an Accredited CBT Centre
- Uploading of results must be done at JAMB-approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres. Candidates cannot do this on their own.
- Provide Your Details
- Present your JAMB registration number and a valid means of identification.
- Submit Your O’Level Result
- A clean copy of your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB result will be scanned and uploaded.
- Confirm Accuracy
- Cross-check the details displayed on the system to ensure that all your grades are correct.
- Keep a Record
- Request a printout or screenshot of the confirmation page for future reference.
Consequences of Not Uploading Your O’Level Result
Ineligibility for Admission: Candidates who fail to upload their results will not be considered by any institution.
Disqualification During Screening: Even if you meet the cut-off mark, missing this step automatically disqualifies you.
Loss of Academic Year: Failure to upload before the admission deadline may mean waiting until the next session to apply again.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I upload my O’Level results online by myself?
