Uploading your O’level results (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB) on the JAMB portal is a an important step in gaining admission into the aforementioned institutions. This guide will help you understand how to upload your result on the JAMB portal to ensure that your admission process goes smoothly.
Key Points to Note:
- No Result, No Admission: If you fail to upload your result, your admission status may be jeopardized.
- All Institutions Require It: Whether you applied for a university, polytechnic, or college of education, uploading your result is mandatory.
- Ensure Accuracy: Double-check the result you are uploading for errors, as inaccurate information could lead to disqualification.
How to Upload Your O’level Result on the JAMB Portal
Now, let’s walk through the step-by-step process of uploading your result.
Step 1: Visit an Accredited JAMB CBT Center
The uploading of O’level results is done at an accredited JAMB Computer-Based Test (CBT) center. You cannot do this yourself on the JAMB portal, so you need to visit the closest CBT center.
How to Find a CBT Center Near You:
- Go to the official JAMB website (www.jamb.gov.ng).
- Under the “Candidates/Stateholders” section, select “CBT Centers.”
- Find a center that is convenient for you and visit during their working hours.
Step 2: Prepare Your Information
Before heading to the CBT center, ensure you have the following details ready:
- Your JAMB registration number
- A copy of your O’level result (either WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB). This can be the printout or the original certificate.
- Active email address and phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
Step 3: Make a Payment (If Required)
At some CBT centers, you may be required to make a small payment (usually between ₦500 to ₦1,000) for the service of uploading your result. Ensure you inquire at the center about any fees beforehand.
Step 4: Provide Your JAMB Registration Number
Once at the CBT center, you will need to provide your JAMB registration number to the operator, who will retrieve your profile on the system.
Step 5: Upload Your O’level Result
The CBT center operator will help you upload your O’level result. The information you provide includes:
- Examination type (e.g., WAEC, NECO, NABTEB)
- Examination year
- Result details (e.g., grades in subjects)
Step 6: Confirm the Upload
After the operator uploads your result, request a printout of the transaction or confirmation message to ensure the result has been successfully uploaded. You can also check it yourself later by logging into your JAMB profile.
Step 7: Verify on the JAMB Portal
To confirm that your result has been properly uploaded, you can verify it by following these steps:
- Go to the JAMB E-facility portal (https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/).
- Log in with your email address and password.
- Click on the “Check Admission Status” tab.
- If your result has been successfully uploaded, it will be displayed alongside your profile details.
Common Issues and How to Fix Them
1. No Result Yet
If your result is not available at the time of uploading (for example, if you’re waiting for WAEC or NECO results), you should still visit a CBT center to submit your details. You can upload your result once it is released, but make sure you do so before your chosen institution’s deadline.
2. Incorrect Details
If you mistakenly uploaded the wrong result or incorrect details, revisit the CBT center to have the correct result uploaded. Keep in mind that making changes might incur a small fee.
3. Result Not Showing on Portal
Sometimes, the result may not appear immediately on your JAMB profile after uploading. Wait for 24 to 48 hours before checking again. If the issue persists, contact JAMB support or revisit the CBT center to report the problem.
Important Deadlines
Each institution sets its deadline for O’level result uploads. It is vital to ensure your result is uploaded before this deadline, as failure to do so could result in the loss of your admission offer.
Conclusion
Uploading your O’level result on the JAMB portal is a simple but critical step in securing your admission for the 2024 academic session. Ensure that you complete this process promptly to avoid any delays or issues with your admission.
If you encounter any challenges, don’t hesitate to visit the CBT center again or reach out to JAMB’s customer support for assistance. Best of luck in your educational journey!
