See How To Upload O’Level Results From Home As JAMB Introduces New System
Details of how to upload O’Level results from home as JAMB introduces a new system have emerged.
NewsRain Nigeria reports that Candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria can now upload and verify their O’Level results from the comfort of their homes, following a new initiative by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
In the new arrangement, candidates will no longer need to visit Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres solely to upload their Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results, as JAMB will verify the results directly with the examination bodies, beginning with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
In a statement yesterday in Abuja, JAMB’s Acting Director, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said the Board would continue to deploy technology and collaborate with examination and government agencies to simplify its services and make them more accessible to candidates.
According to him, the initiative was part of the Board’s renewed commitment to making its services “easier, faster, safer and more convenient” for candidates.

He said the integration of its e-facility platform with examination bodies would enable candidates’ results to be verified against the records of the issuing bodies before being downloaded into their profiles.
The new system is also expected to address problems associated with manual O’Level result uploads, including misplaced or mixed-up paper results, presentation of fraudulent or unverified certificates and errors in the manual entry of subjects and grades.
The examination body said the initiative would particularly ease pressure on CBT centres during periods of high patronage and help reduce the effect of network challenges and long queues.
The statement reads: “Consequently, candidates can now upload their O’Level results from the comfort of their homes, while the Board undertakes the verification of such results directly with the issuing examination bodies.
“The initiative is part of the Board’s renewed commitment to making services easier, faster, safer and more convenient for candidates.
By using technology to reduce unnecessary visits to CBT centres, queues and manual processes, JAMB is putting candidate ease of service delivery at the centre of its operations.
“The new arrangement also addresses challenges associated with manual O’Level result uploads, including misplaced or mixed-up paper results, presentation of unverified or fraudulent results, and errors in the manual entry of subjects and grades.
Through the integration of JAMB’s e-facility platform with examination bodies, results can now be verified directly against the examination body’s records before being downloaded into the candidate’s profile.”
However, to use the new service, candidates are required to visit the JAMB website, enter their National Identification Number (NIN) and select the number of examination sittings and relevant examination body or bodies.
After providing their e-mail address and GSM number, candidates are required to pay for the verification using a debit card or bank transfer before entering their examination number, examination series and examination year.
