Admission: JAMB gives candidates new directives

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a fresh directive to all candidates who uploaded their O’level results before the release of the final 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WAEC SSCE) results.

In its weekly news bulletin released on Monday, August 25, 2025, the Board instructed such candidates to revisit any accredited JAMB centre and re-upload their official WAEC results.

According to JAMB, all previously uploaded results have been cleared from its system to prevent discrepancies and ensure that only the authentic WAEC final results are used during the admission process.

According to the Board, “Some candidates who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, with awaiting results had prematurely uploaded incomplete WAEC records before the final release.

“To address the issue, JAMB has mandated a fresh upload for every candidate, irrespective of whether the new results differ from those uploaded earlier.

“All UTME candidates are advised to urgently re-upload their 2025 SSCE results on the JAMB portal to remain eligible for admission consideration,” the Board stated.
