The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reiterated that uploading Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results—WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB—onto the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) is compulsory for all candidates seeking admission. Failure to complete this step may lead to disqualification, as no admission can be offered without verified O’Level results on CAPS.
This guide outlines the official procedure for uploading results and how candidates can confirm their upload status.
Uploading O’Level Results
According to JAMB, the only approved method for uploading O’Level results is through its accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres and JAMB offices nationwide.
Requirements for Upload
Candidates are expected to present the following at the CBT centre:
- Their original O’Level result slip(s) (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB).
- A copy of their JAMB registration slip.
- A token processing fee (usually between ₦500 and ₦1,000, depending on the centre).
At the centre, JAMB officials or trained CBT staff will:
- Collect and verify the documents.
- Input and upload the O’Level results directly onto the candidate’s CAPS profile.
- Confirm successful upload before the candidate leaves.
Checking Upload Status on CAPS
After uploading, candidates should verify that their results have reflected on CAPS. To do this:
- Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
- Log in with your JAMB registration number/email and password.
- Select “Check Admission Status.”
- Click “Access my CAPS.”
- Open the “My O’Level” section.
If the upload is successful, the candidate’s subjects and grades will be displayed.
If it still shows “A/R” (Awaiting Result) or appears blank, the candidate must return to a CBT centre for re-upload.
Common Issues and Solutions
- Result still showing A/R: Revisit the CBT centre for re-upload.
- Errors in subjects or names: Apply for correction of data on JAMB’s e-Facility portal, then re-upload.
- Upload not reflecting: Allow a few hours; if still unchanged, contact JAMB support or return to the centre.
- Overcharging: Only patronise accredited CBT centres, and insist on official rates.
Conclusion
The SSCE grade is one of the critical parameters JAMB and institutions use in granting admission. Without a properly uploaded O’Level result on CAPS, a candidate’s admission cannot be processed, no matter their UTME score.
Candidates should note that the only JAMB-approved method for uploading results is via accredited CBT centres and JAMB offices. It is advisable to always verify upload status on CAPS following the steps outlined above. Candidates are to take immediate action if errors or omissions are noticed.
By following these steps, candidates safeguard their eligibility and improve their chances of securing admission.
