Candidates can now verify and upload their O’level results from the comfort of their homes without having to make an unnecessary visit to a Computer-Based Test centre, under a new arrangement introduced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
The development was announced by JAMB’s Acting Director, Public Affairs and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, in a statement shared on X on Monday.
Benjamin said the Board had facilitated the verification of candidates’ O’level results directly from the examination bodies responsible for conducting the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination, beginning with the West African Examinations Council.
He said candidates could now upload their O’level results from home while JAMB verifies the results directly with the issuing examination bodies.
“UPLOAD OF O’LEVEL RESULTS FROM THE COMFORT OF CANDIDATES’ HOMES,” Benjamin said.
“As a responsive organisation committed to providing efficient and accessible services, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has facilitated the verification of candidates’ O’Level results directly from the various examination bodies responsible for conducting the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE), beginning with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
“Consequently, candidates can now upload their O’Level results from the comfort of their homes, while the Board undertakes the verification of such results directly with the issuing examination bodies.”
According to the Board, the initiative is aimed at making its services easier, faster and more convenient for candidates.
“The initiative is part of the Board’s renewed commitment to making services easier, faster, safer and more convenient for candidates,” Benjamin said.
“By using technology to reduce unnecessary visits to CBT centres, queues and manual processes, JAMB is putting candidate ease of service delivery at the centre of its operations.”
JAMB said the arrangement would also help address problems associated with manual O’level result uploads, including misplaced or mixed-up paper results, unverified or fraudulent results and errors in entering subjects and grades.
“The new arrangement also addresses challenges associated with manual O’Level result uploads, including misplaced or mixed-up paper results, presentation of unverified or fraudulent results, and errors in the manual entry of subjects and grades,” Benjamin said.
Through the integration of JAMB’s e-Facility platform with examination bodies, results can now be verified against the records of the issuing examination bodies before being downloaded into candidates’ profiles.
