Can I reupload my O level result on JAMB?

If you are a JAMB candidate who has recently taken the O level exam (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB), you might be wondering if you can reupload your result on JAMB portal. The answer is yes, you can. In fact, it is very important that you do so, as it is one of the requirements for admission through the JAMB CAPS system.

 

In this blog post, I will explain why uploading your O level result is essential, when you can do it, how you can do it, and how you can verify that it has been done successfully. I will also answer some frequently asked questions that you might have about this process. By the end of this post, you will have a clear understanding of how to upload your O level result on JAMB portal and why it matters for your admission.

Why is uploading your O level result essential?

Uploading your O level result on JAMB portal is a vital step in securing admission into your desired course and institution. This is because JAMB uses your O level result to verify your eligibility and suitability for the course you applied for. Without uploading your O level result, you will not be considered for admission through the JAMB CAPS system, which is the official platform for admission processing in Nigeria.

JAMB CAPS stands for Central Admission Processing System. It is a system that allows candidates to track their admission status, accept or reject admission offers, and print their admission letters. JAMB CAPS also enables institutions to select candidates based on merit, catchment, and educationally less developed states (ELDS).

To be eligible for admission through JAMB CAPS, you must meet the following criteria:

• You must have a minimum of five credits in O level subjects relevant to your course of choice, including English and Mathematics.
• You must have scored at least 120 in the UTME exam for degree programmes, or 100 for ND/NCE programmes.
• You must have chosen the institution as your first or second choice, or have changed your institution to the one offering you admission.
• You must have uploaded your O level result on JAMB portal.

As you can see, uploading your O level result is a crucial requirement that you cannot afford to ignore. If you fail to upload your O level result, you will miss out on the opportunity to gain admission into your preferred institution and course.

When can you upload your O level result?

There are two main windows during which you can upload your O level result on JAMB portal:

• During JAMB registration: At this stage, if you already have your O level result (WAEC or NECO), you can upload it on JAMB portal as part of your registration process. You will need to visit an accredited JAMB CBT centre or office and provide them with a copy of your result. They will scan and upload it for you on the portal.
• After JAMB exam: At this stage, if you have recently taken your O level exam (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB), you will need to upload your result on JAMB portal as soon as it is released. You will also need to visit an accredited JAMB CBT centre or office and provide them with a copy of your result. They will scan and upload it for you on the portal.

Note that you can upload your O level result more than once, in case you have an update or correction to make. However, you should do this before the admission process is completed, as you may not be able to make changes after that.
