The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has introduced a new system allowing candidates to upload and verify their O’Level results from home, eliminating the need to visit Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres for the process.
The Board said the initiative, which currently begins with results from the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), enables candidates to have their results verified directly with the examination bodies before they are uploaded to their JAMB profiles.
In a statement, JAMB’s Acting Director of Public Affairs and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, said the initiative was designed to make the Board’s services “easier, faster, safer and more convenient” for candidates.
The new system integrates JAMB’s e-Facility platform with examination bodies, allowing results to be checked against official records and reducing errors associated with manual uploads.
The Board said the arrangement would also help tackle the submission of fraudulent or unverified results, misplaced paper certificates and errors in manually entering subjects and grades.
To use the service, candidates are required to visit the result-verification platform, enter their National Identification Number (NIN), select the number of sittings and examination body, and pay the prescribed verification fee.
They will then provide their examination number, series and year to obtain a verification code after their results have been confirmed.
Candidates are required to send “VERIFY” followed by their verification code to 55019 or 66019 to initiate the upload.
Candidates with two sittings will subsequently be required to log into their JAMB e-Facility dashboard and select “2026 UTME O’Level Upload,” where their verified results will be displayed.
They can then select the required subjects, with a minimum of five and maximum of nine subjects, before submitting the results.
JAMB said candidates would receive notifications upon successful completion of the process.
The Board said the new arrangement would provide an alternative to visiting CBT centres, particularly during periods of high patronage and network congestion.
The initiative is part of the service reforms under JAMB Registrar, Prof Segun Aina, aimed at expanding technology-driven and candidate-focused services.
The Board said it would continue to work with examination and government agencies to simplify its processes and improve access to its services.
