What is Uploading of O’level to JAMB Portal?

The title itself is self-explanatory. Uploading of O’level results involves you uploading either your WAEC, NECO, GCE, or NABTEB results to the JAMB website in order to be considered for admission.

Over the years, JAMB has reformed how students get admission into universities and polytechnics in Nigeria. Before now, after candidates write the JAMB UTME exams, they go to their school of choice to write Post UTME exams, then the school offers the candidates admission if the students qualify.

In the new dispensation, there is a little tweak to the whole process; Candidates have to write JAMB, go to the school to write a Post-UTME exam (not all schools write Post-UTME exams). After the Post-UTME exams, the school pushes a list of qualified candidates to JAMB while JAMB will automatically cross-check its system (JAMB CAPS) to confirm if the candidate is eligible for admission.

JAMB already has the cut-off marks and O’level requirements of every school. So when schools push the list of qualified candidates to JAMB, the JAMB central admission processing system automatically checks if the candidate’s JAMB score and O’level result meet the requirement of the school.

In essence, candidates need to upload their O’level results to JAMB CAPS so that JAMB can have a copy of their results.

During the admission process, if a candidate has been approved for admission by the school but the candidate has not uploaded an O’level result to the JAMB portal, the admission will automatically be declined.

You might be wondering why JAMB has to verify after the school has qualified a candidate.

Well, some schools are involved in admission fraud.

There are cases whereby a student bribes school officials and gets admitted without meeting the requirements.

JAMB stepped in with this system to prevent all that.
