If you are seeking admission into any Nigerian university, polytechnic, or college of education for the 2025/2026 academic session, uploading your O’Level results (WAEC, NECO, or its equivalent) on the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) is a compulsory step. Without completing this process, your admission status may not be processed or approved, even if you meet all other requirements.
This guide explains step-by-step how to upload your O’Level results on the JAMB portal correctly.

Why You Must Upload Your O’Level Results
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) requires every UTME and Direct Entry (DE) candidate to upload their O’Level results before they can be considered for admission. Many candidates miss out on admission simply because their results were not uploaded.
Uploading ensures that your chosen institution and JAMB can verify your grades and confirm your eligibility for your preferred course.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Upload WAEC/NECO Results on JAMB CAPS
Follow these simple steps to upload your O’Level results successfully:
1. Visit a JAMB Office or Accredited CBT Centre
Locate the nearest JAMB office or any JAMB-accredited Computer Based Test (CBT) centre nationwide.
2. Request for Upload
Tell the officials at the centre that you want to upload your WAEC or NECO results.
3. Provide Your Details
Submit your JAMB registration number along with your O’Level result(s) for processing.
4. Pay the Required Fee
A small service fee (token) will be charged for the upload. Ensure you collect proof of payment.
5. Confirm on JAMB CAPS
Log in regularly to your JAMB CAPS profile via JAMB e-Facility Portal to check if your result has been uploaded successfully and to monitor your admission status.
6. Accept Admission When Offered
Once you receive an admission offer, accept it immediately on CAPS and proceed to print your admission letter.
Important Tips for Candidates
- Only candidates who upload their results will be considered for admission in the 2025/2026 session.
- If you have already uploaded your results or have been admitted, you do not need to repeat the process.
- Always double-check your details before submission to avoid errors.
