Are you among the 2026 UTME candidates who used "Awaiting Result"? The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially activated the CAPS portal, meaning you can now upload your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB grades. Make sure to complete your profile update before the portal closes to avoid missing out on screening exercises.
This activation follows the 2026 National Policy Meeting, where a strict admission deadline of October 31, 2026, was set for public institutions. Your O-level result must be uploaded to your JAMB profile so institutions can verify your qualifications during admission screening. If you do not upload the result, your details may not appear correctly in the admission system.
To help you, we have given detailed steps on how to do so. Read on to find out exactly how to get your results verified at an approved CBT centre without errors.
What is O-Level Result Upload on JAMB?
O-level result upload means submitting your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB result to your JAMB profile.
Once uploaded, the result is visible on the institution's admission platform. This allows schools to confirm that candidates meet the subject requirements for their chosen courses.
Candidates usually upload their results after completing registration using their JAMB profile code.
Why You Must Upload Your O-Level Result
Uploading your result is required because institutions use it to verify your eligibility. Reasons to upload your O-level results include:
It allows schools to confirm your subject combinations
It helps institutions process admissions faster
It makes your details visible on the admission portal
It prevents issues when checking admission status
If the result is not uploaded, a candidate may still appear as not qualified even if the UTME score is high.
Where to Upload O-Level Results to JAMB
Candidates cannot upload their results directly from home.
The upload must be done at an accredited JAMB CBT centre where your biometric data can be verified before the result is submitted.
How to Upload O-Level Result to JAMB Profile
Follow these steps to upload your result successfully.
Visit the official JAMB portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng.
Log in to your account using your JAMB registration number and password through your JAMB profile login.
After logging in, locate and click the Check Admission Status option on your dashboard.
You will be redirected to the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
In that section, find the option that allows candidates to upload their O-level results.
Select the examination body, such as WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB, and choose the year you wrote the exam from the available options.
Upload a clear scanned copy of your result. The file should be in JPEG or PNG format, and the size should not be more than 50KB.
Carefully review all the information you entered to ensure it is correct before submitting the result.
After the upload, you can log in using your JAMB profile login to verify that your result has been added.
How to Confirm Your Result Has Been Uploaded
You can confirm your upload by checking your profile online.
Go to the JAMB eFacility portal at https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/.
Sign in using your registered email address and password through your JAMB profile login.
On your dashboard, click the Check Admission Status option.
After that, select Access My CAPS to open the admission processing page.
Within CAPS, locate and click the My O-Level Result section.
Once the page opens, you will see the list of subjects and grades you uploaded during the result submission process.
If your subjects and grades appear correctly, it means your result upload was successful.
However, if the page shows “AR” (Awaiting Result) or the section appears empty, it indicates that your result has not been uploaded properly. In that case, you will need to visit an accredited CBT centre to upload the result again.
Always confirm that your O-level results display correctly on CAPS to avoid complications during the admission process.
When to Upload Your O-Level Result
Candidates should upload their results as early as possible once the portal is opened. Early upload helps institutions review your details quickly when admission processing begins.
If you later apply for a change of institution or a change of course, make sure your O-level results are already uploaded so the new institution can verify your qualifications.
