The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed all candidates seeking admission for the 2025/2026 academic session to re-upload their WAEC SSCE results. This follows the board’s decision to erase all previously uploaded WAEC results from its database to ensure admission processing is based only on verified and corrected data.
Why JAMB Clears Old Upload
The move came after the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) discovered grading errors in some subjects in the 2025 SSCE results released on August 4, 2025. WAEC recalled and corrected the results before re-releasing them.
To prevent mismatches and uphold the integrity of the admissions process, JAMB temporarily shut its upload portal on August 14 to fix related technical issues. When the portal reopened around August 20–21, JAMB confirmed that all prior WAEC result uploads had been wiped.
Even candidates whose results remain unchanged must re-upload them afresh, as the system is now blank for everyone.
What Candidates Need to Know
- Mandatory Fresh Upload: All UTME candidates must visit any JAMB-accredited CBT centre to re-upload their final WAEC SSCE results.
- Applies to All: Even if you uploaded earlier or your result hasn’t changed, you still need to upload again.
- Failure Has Consequences: Candidates who fail to comply risk being disqualified from the 2025/2026 admissions process.
- Why It Matters: Clearing old uploads ensures that only the corrected, final WAEC results are used by institutions.
