Admission: JAMB Directs Candidates to Re-Upload 2025 WAEC and SSCE Results

JAMB has directed all UTME candidates to re-upload their 2025 WAEC and SSCE results on its portal for admission eligibility and compliance.

JAMB Orders Fresh Upload of WAEC and SSCE Results

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has instructed all candidates seeking admission in 2025 to re-upload their WAEC SSCE results on the JAMB portal. This directive affects candidates who had uploaded their O’Level results before the official release of the 2025 WAEC final results.

According to JAMB, all previously uploaded results have been cleared from its system. The move is aimed at preventing discrepancies and ensuring that only the final WAEC SSCE results are used during admission processing.

Why Re-Uploading WAEC Results Is Important

In its weekly bulletin, JAMB explained that some UTME candidates with “awaiting results” status had prematurely uploaded incomplete WAEC records. To correct this, the Board has now mandated every candidate—whether or not their results have changed—to re-upload their details.

Key Points to Note:

Only final and verified 2025 WAEC SSCE results will be accepted.
All UTME candidates must re-upload results to stay eligible for admission.
The process must be done through JAMB-accredited centres.

Candidates are strongly advised to take this directive seriously to avoid disqualification during admission screening. You can learn more about WAEC result checking and updates on androidpols.com.ng.

JAMB Warns Institutions Over Admission Violations

In addition to directing candidates, JAMB also warned higher institutions accused of violating admission guidelines. Some institutions conducted admissions through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) but failed to upload matriculation lists.

Registrar Prof. Is-haq Oloyede emphasized that any candidate whose name is not on the National Matriculation List would be deemed not properly admitted by JAMB. He stressed:

“Any such admission will be considered illegitimate, and no illegal admission will be condoned.”

Possible Consequences for Violations

Regulatory sanctions from JAMB.
Risk of lawsuits by affected candidates.
Loss of credibility for institutions involved.

Compliance Deadline for Institutions

At a meeting held on August 18, 2025, institutions were instructed to:

Upload all outstanding matriculation lists within seven days.
Submit formal letters of apology via CAPS.
Ensure affiliate institutions operate under their parent institutions, supervised by designated officers.

JAMB made it clear that the ultimatum was designed to protect innocent students while ensuring institutions remain compliant with national admission policies.

Conclusion

The directive from JAMB requiring candidates to re-upload their 2025 WAEC and SSCE results is crucial for maintaining transparent and legitimate admission processes. Candidates must act quickly to remain eligible for admission, while institutions have been reminded of the risks of violating CAPS guidelines.

By complying with these directives, both students and institutions safeguard their future within Nigeria’s higher education system.
