The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has introduced a new arrangement allowing candidates to verify and upload their O’level results from the comfort of their homes without visiting a Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre.
The development was announced on Monday by JAMB’s Acting Director of Public Affairs and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, in a statement shared on X.
According to Benjamin, JAMB has facilitated the direct verification of candidates’ O’level results with the examination bodies responsible for conducting the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE), beginning with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
He said the new system would enable candidates to upload their results from home while JAMB verifies the information directly with the relevant examination bodies.
The Board said the initiative is designed to make the O’level result upload process faster, easier, safer and more convenient, while reducing unnecessary visits to CBT centres, queues and manual procedures.
JAMB also said the new arrangement would address some challenges associated with manual O’level result uploads, including misplaced or mixed-up paper results, fraudulent or unverified results, as well as errors in entering subjects and grades.
Through the integration of JAMB’s e-Facility platform with examination bodies, candidates’ results can now be verified against official records before being uploaded to their JAMB profiles.
How to Verify Your O’level Result on JAMB Portal
Candidates are required to visit the designated result verification platform, enter their National Identification Number (NIN), select the number of examination sittings and the relevant examination body or bodies.
They will then provide their email address and GSM number, make the required payment and enter their examination details, including examination number, examination series and examination year.
After successful verification, candidates will receive a Verification Code.
How to Upload O’level Result Without Visiting a CBT CentreCandidates should send “VERIFY” followed by their Verification Code to 55019 or 66019. Their verified result will then be uploaded and a notification sent to them.
Candidates with two examination sittings will be required to log into their JAMB e-Facility dashboard and select “2026 UTME O’Level Upload.”
They should enter the Verification Code, select the required subjects from the verified results and click “Apply the O’Level Results.”
JAMB said candidates must select a minimum of five and a maximum of nine subjects, with no subject selected more than once.
The Board said the new system would provide a convenient alternative for candidates, particularly during periods of high patronage and network challenges at CBT centres.
Benjamin added that JAMB would continue to deploy technology and collaborate with relevant examination and government agencies to make its services simpler, safer and more accessible to candidates.
