The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has introduced an online system allowing candidates seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions through the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, to verify and upload their O’Level results without visiting Computer-Based Test, CBT, centres.
The new service initially covers results issued by the West African Examinations Council, WAEC, and is designed to reduce candidates’ dependence on CBT centres, especially during periods of high patronage.
JAMB said the system will electronically verify candidates’ results directly with examination bodies before uploading them to their profiles.
In a statement on Monday by its Acting Director, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Board said the initiative would make the process easier, faster and safer while reducing errors associated with manual uploads.
According to JAMB, the system will also help prevent the submission of fraudulent or unverified results, misplaced certificates and mistakes in entering subjects and grades.
