JAMB Temporarily Suspends O'Level Results Upload Portal to Fix Technical Issues

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has temporarily suspended its O'level results upload portal for the 2025/2026 admission cycle. The suspension addresses technical discrepancies affecting candidates who uploaded their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results when they were initially released.

Why the Suspension?

According to JAMB's announcement, the portal closure was necessary to resolve "technical discrepancies affecting candidates who previously uploaded the initially-released WASSCE results." These discrepancies likely involved:

• Mismatches between candidate details and result records
• Incomplete data synchronization between WAEC and JAMB systems
• Result verification errors during the initial upload phase
• Database integrity issues requiring correction

JAMB's technical team is working to fix these issues before reopening the portal to ensure accuracy in the admission process.

Portal Status Update

Current Status: Portal has been reactivated

According to updated information, the portal suspension was temporary. Candidates can now upload their O'level results at any JAMB-accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) center nationwide.

How to Upload O'Level Results

To upload your O'level results through a JAMB CBT center:

1. Locate a JAMB-Accredited Center: Find centers near you through the JAMB website or by asking at known registration points
2. Bring Required Information: Your JAMB registration number, O'level examination number(s), examination year, and result details
3. Pay the Service Fee: CBT centers charge a fee for result upload services (typically around ₦1,000-₦1,500)
4. Upload Process: Center staff will log into your JAMB profile and upload your results following official procedures
5. Verification: Confirm that all uploaded details are accurate before leaving the center
6. Print Confirmation: Request a printout showing successful upload for your records

Why O'Level Upload Matters

Universities and polytechnics verify candidates' O'level results directly through the JAMB system during admissions processing. Without properly uploaded results:

• Your admission application may be rejected even with high JAMB scores
• Post-UTME registration could be blocked at some institutions
• You won't be able to accept admission offers through CAPS
• Admission lists may exclude your name despite meeting other requirements

Multiple O'Level Results

If you have results from different examination bodies (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB) or different sittings, upload all of them. Institutions may require:

• Five credits at a single sitting for competitive programs
• Five credits across two sittings for general admission
• Specific subject combinations depending on your chosen course

Having multiple results uploaded gives you flexibility and increases your admission chances.

What If You Haven't Received Your Results?

Candidates awaiting 2025 WAEC or NECO results should:

• Check result release schedules on examination bodies' official websites
• Upload results immediately after they're released
• Monitor institutional Post-UTME deadlines (many extend deadlines after result releases)
• Use previous O'level results temporarily if you have them

Technical Difficulties During Upload

If you encounter problems during result upload:

• Try a different JAMB-accredited center
• Ensure your O'level examination number is exactly as it appears on your result
• Verify you're using the correct examination year
• Contact JAMB support through their official channels
• Keep trying - system glitches are often temporary

Stay Informed

Monitor JAMB's official website and social media channels for updates on:

• Portal functionality changes
• Alternative upload methods
• Deadline extensions
• Technical support resources

Don't rely solely on third-party sources for critical JAMB information. When in doubt, visit a JAMB office or call their helpline directly.
