The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reportedly instructed all candidates who uploaded their O’level results to the JAMB portal before the release of the final 2025 WAEC SSCE results to revisit accredited JAMB centres and re-upload their results.
According to the notice shared on social media, the move aims to ensure that every candidate’s profile on the JAMB portal contains the correct and final WAEC SSCE result. Candidates who uploaded provisional or incomplete results prior to the final WAEC release may have missing or outdated grades on their JAMB profile, which could affect admission screenings and eligibility checks.
What candidates should do
Return to an accredited JAMB CBT centre: The announcement advises affected candidates to go back to any accredited centre used for JAMB services.
Bring identification and result documents: Candidates should take a valid form of ID and the original/printed WAEC result slip (or its official digital equivalent) so the centre can re-upload and verify the result.
Confirm successful upload: After the centre completes the upload, candidates should check their JAMB profile to confirm that the most recent O’level result is reflected.
Why this matters Accurate O’level data on the JAMB portal is crucial because universities and other tertiary institutions rely on the information there during admission screening and eligibility verification. Failing to update results could lead to discrepancies that delay or jeopardize admission offers.
A word of caution The social media post urging candidates to re-upload appears to originate from an entertainment/news feed reposting the JAMB directive. Candidates are strongly encouraged to verify the instruction and any deadline with JAMB’s official channels — the JAMB website, official social media accounts, or by contacting accredited CBT centres directly — before taking action.
