Are you preparing for the 2025/2026 JAMB admission process and need to upload your O’Level results on the JAMB portal? If you’re looking for an easy way to do this using your smartphone without visiting a JAMB CBT centre, this guide is for you.
Uploading your WAEC, NECO, GCE, or NABTEB results is crucial for your admission process through the JAMB CAPS system. Without uploading these results, you risk losing admission opportunities to your desired institution or course.
Follow this detailed guide to upload your results seamlessly.
Why Uploading Your O’Level Results on the JAMB Portal is Important
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) mandates all candidates to upload their O’Level results for verification. This ensures candidates meet the minimum qualifications for their chosen course or institution.
Failing to upload your results might disqualify you from being considered for admission. Even if an institution offers you admission, you won’t be able to accept it on JAMB CAPS unless your O’Level results are uploaded.
Therefore, it is crucial to complete this step as soon as possible after registering for JAMB or receiving your results from the examination body.
When Should You Upload Your O’Level Results?
There are two main periods during which you can upload your results on the JAMB portal:
During JAMB Registration: If you have your results available during the registration process, you can upload them directly. Ensure you scan and save the results in a PDF format.
After JAMB Registration: If your results were not available at the time of registration, or if you wish to update them after release, you can upload them later. Log in to your JAMB profile to complete the process.
