The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued an urgent directive instructing all candidates who uploaded their O'Level results before the release of the final 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results to return to accredited CBT centres and re-upload their results.

JAMB directs candidates to re-upload O'level results

Why JAMB Cleared Previous Uploads

  • Preventing Result Discrepancies: Many UTME candidates who registered with "awaiting results" uploaded provisional WAEC results before WAEC released the final reviewed 2025 SSCE results.
  • System Reset: To prevent mismatched records during university screening, JAMB cleared all previously uploaded 2025 WASSCE results from the portal.

Who Needs to Re-Upload?

Every candidate who uploaded a 2025 SSCE result earlier must re-upload it on JAMB CAPS immediately—regardless of whether your grades changed or remained the same after WAEC's review. Without an active O'Level result on CAPS, your admission cannot be processed. For students preparing for future UTME exams, the Mentra JAMB CBT app is available on both Android and iOS.

Does this affect candidates who uploaded 2024 WAEC results during JAMB registration in February?

Hello Jessica. The directive specifically targets candidates who uploaded 2025 WASSCE results before WAEC's final result update. However, it is still smart to log in to your JAMB e-Facility portal and check your CAPS 'My O'level' tab just to be 100% sure your 2024 grades are showing properly.
