The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a directive requiring all candidates who uploaded their O-Level results before the official release of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) to return to accredited centres and re-upload their results.
This announcement was contained in an official bulletin published on the Board’s verified X handle on Monday. According to JAMB, all previously uploaded results have been cleared from its database in order to prevent confusion and ensure accuracy in the admission process.
In its statement, the Board clarified: “Candidates who sat the UTME with awaiting results are required to upload their O’Level results as soon as they are released. Many began uploading the WAEC 2025 SSCE before the final results were released. To avoid any confusion, the Board cleared all prior uploads, and all candidates are now required to re-upload their results, whether or not they differ from the earlier results uploaded.”
JAMB emphasized that failure to comply with this directive could affect a candidate’s eligibility for admission consideration in the ongoing process. “Please re-upload your 2025 SSCE result to the JAMB portal without delay,” the bulletin added.
The directive has triggered mixed reactions among students, many of whom had hurriedly uploaded their results earlier in compliance with admission requirements. Some expressed frustration at the need to repeat the process, while others saw it as a necessary step to maintain fairness and order in admissions.
When asked by an X user, identified as @Ndukaphilip43644, about results uploaded before the implementation of verification, JAMB stood firm on its directive, responding: “You’re advised to please visit any of our accredited facilities to verify your result. Thank you.”
With this development, all candidates are now expected to visit JAMB-accredited centres nationwide to re-upload their final WAEC results. This step, the Board insists, is crucial to ensure seamless admission processing for the 2025 academic session.
