The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has introduced a new system allowing candidates to upload and verify their O’Level results from the comfort of their homes, eliminating the need to visit Computer-Based Test centres solely for that purpose.
Under the new arrangement, JAMB will verify candidates’ results directly with the relevant examination bodies, starting with the West African Examinations Council. The initiative is part of the Board’s commitment to making its services “easier, faster, safer and more convenient” for candidates, according to JAMB’s Acting Director of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin.
The new system is expected to address several challenges associated with manual O’Level result uploads, including misplaced or mixed-up paper results, presentation of fraudulent or unverified certificates, and errors in the manual entry of subjects and grades. It will also ease pressure on CBT centres during periods of high patronage and help reduce the effect of network challenges and long queues.
To use the service, candidates are required to first obtain a Result Verification Code by visiting the designated verification portal. They will need to enter their National Identification Number, select the number of O’Level sittings and the relevant examination body, provide their email address and GSM number, and make payment through the available options.
After entering their examination details, including examination number, series, and year, candidates will receive a Verification Code upon successful verification. They then need to send “VERIFY” followed by the Verification Code to 55019 or 66019, after which the result will be uploaded and a confirmation notification sent.
For candidates with two sittings, they are required to log into their JAMB e-Facility dashboard, select “2026 UTME O’Level Upload,” enter their Verification Code, and select the required subjects from the verified results. Candidates must select a minimum of five and a maximum of nine subjects, ensuring no subject is selected more than once.
The Board said it would continue to deploy technology and collaborate with examination and government agencies to simplify its services and make them more accessible to candidates. The initiative reflects the commitment of the Board’s sixth Registrar, Prof Segun Aina, to building a more customer-oriented and technology-driven service delivery system.
