JAMB Activates CAPS Portal for 2026 O'Level Result Upload

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has activated the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) portal for uploading 2026 Ordinary Level (O'Level) results.

Candidates who registered for the 2026 UTME or Direct Entry with "Awaiting Result" (AR) status can now visit an accredited CBT centre to upload their WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results.

Why Uploading Your O'Level Result on CAPS Is Mandatory

• No Upload, No Admission: The automated JAMB CAPS system cannot process or approve admission for any candidate whose O'Level field is blank, even if you scored 300+ in the UTME.
• Post-UTME Aggregate Calculation: Universities, polytechnics, and colleges require your verified O'Level grades on CAPS to compute your screening aggregate score.
• Admission Deadline: With public universities working toward the October 31, 2026 admission deadline set at the National Policy Meeting, early upload prevents you from missing the first batch of admission lists.

Step-by-Step Guide to Upload and Verify Your O'Level Result

1. Visit an Accredited CBT Centre: Go to any JAMB-accredited CBT centre or a state JAMB office. Avoid regular cybercafes, as unauthorized uploads often fail to reflect on CAPS.
2. Bring Your Documents: Take along your 2026 UTME/DE registration slip, your clear O'Level result printout(s), and your JAMB profile details.
3. Combine Two Sittings Properly: If you are combining two sittings (for example, WAEC and NECO), make sure the CBT operator uploads both results during the same session so the first sitting is not overwritten.
4. Verify on Your Phone: Log in to your JAMB e-Facility dashboard, click Check Admission Status > Access my CAPS > My O'Level, and confirm that all your subjects and grades are displaying accurately.

While getting your documents ready, start practicing for your school's screening exam with the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
