‎How To Upload Result on JAMB Portal: Complete Step By Step Guide 2026

‎Do you know that you can lose your admission opportunity if you do not upload your O'Level result to JAMB CAPS?

‎‎A friend of mine spent months preparing for JAMB. He patiently waited for admission, only to discover later that there was a mistake during the upload of his O'Level result. Unfortunately, he found out after the admission process had closed and lost his admission opportunity.

‎While waiting for admission, it is very important to upload your O'Level result because your chosen institution will use it to determine your eligibility for admission.

‎You should also know that if your school conducts Post-UTME or screening, it will check your O'Level result on JAMB CAPS before considering you for admission.

‎How To Upload Result on JAMB Portal

‎Step 1: Visit Any JAMB-Accredited CBT Centre Near You

‎Can I upload my O'Level result by myself?

‎No. You cannot upload your O'Level result yourself through your JAMB profile. 

The upload must be done by a CBT operator who has access to the JAMB portal.

‎This can only be done at a JAMB-accredited CBT centre or any JAMB office.

‎Step 2: Provide Your JAMB Registration Number

‎At the CBT centre, the operator will ask for your JAMB registration number and a valid means of identification.

‎Step 3: Submit Your O'Level Result

‎Provide a clear copy of your O'Level result for scanning.

‎Also, indicate whether you are using one sitting or two sittings.

‎Step 4: Verification and Upload

‎The CBT operator will verify your details before uploading your result to the JAMB portal.

‎Once the upload is completed, carefully confirm that all the details displayed on the system are correct before leaving the centre. Any mistake after the upload may affect your admission.

‎

‎How to Confirm if Your O'Level Result Has Been Uploaded And Correct 

‎After your result has been uploaded, follow these steps to confirm it:

‎• Log in to your JAMB CAPS account at efacility.jamb.gov.ng

‎

• Click "Check Admission Status" and then navigate to "Access my CAPS".

‎• ‎Under the "My O'Level" section, check whether your result has been uploaded.

‎If the upload was successful, your subjects and grades will be displayed. Carefully cross-check every detail to ensure there are no errors.

‎Common Problems and Their Solutions

O'Level Result Not Reflecting on CAPS

‎‎If your result is not showing on CAPS, revisit the CBT centre where you uploaded it so they can verify and correct the issue.

‎Incomplete Grades on CAPS

‎Ensure that all your subjects and grades were entered correctly during the upload process.

‎Incorrect Details on Your JAMB Profile

‎If you notice any incorrect information after the upload, return to the CBT centre immediately to have it corrected.

‎

‎Lastly, if you registered for JAMB using "Awaiting Result", upload your result immediately after it is released by the examination body. Ensure you do this before your institution's admission deadline.

‎How Do I Retrieve My JAMB Email Address and Password?

‎If you registered for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) but cannot remember your password, follow these steps:

‎Step 2: Click "Forgot Password".

‎Step 3: Enter the email address you used during registration and click "Retrieve".

‎How Can I Get My Jamb Password Through SMS?

‎If you forgot your email address or used a wrong email during registration, follow these steps:

‎Step 1: Open your messaging app and send "PASSWORD youremail@gmail.com" to "55019' or "66019".

‎Example: PASSWORD divinemaxwell@gmail.com

‎Step 2: JAMB will send you a unique password, for example, "candech824".

‎Step 3: Use the password together with your email address to log in to your JAMB profile.

‎Note: You must use the phone number you used during JAMB registration. Also, ensure you have at least ₦100 airtime. If you registered with the wrong email address, use that same email when sending the SMS.
