JAMB said via X (formerly Twitter):
“Dear UTME candidates, this is to notify you that upload of the 2025 WAEC result has been reactivated. Kindly visit any of our accredited facilities near you to access the service. Thank you.”
Importance of JAMB-related upload
Legit.ng reports that the WAEC result upload is a compulsory requirement for admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions. JAMB uses the uploaded results to verify candidates’ O’level performance before forwarding admission lists to universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
Candidates who fail to upload their WAEC or the National Examination Council (NECO) results risk being excluded from admission processes, even if they score highly in the UTME.
The board urged candidates to make use of only accredited JAMB computer-based test (CBT) centres and facilities nationwide to carry out the upload. This measure is aimed at preventing errors.

Backstory on JAMB’s latest update
It would be recalled that on Thursday, August 14, JAMB announced the temporary suspension of its portal for uploading the WASSCE 2025 results.
The measure was introduced to resolve technical issues affecting candidates who had already uploaded their results before the WAEC revised its earlier release. The closure was aimed at ensuring that the admission database reflected only accurate and updated results.
The suspension affected UTME candidates seeking admission for the 2024/2025 academic session, who are required to upload their O’level results as part of the process. For those who had earlier uploaded the first set of results released by WAEC, the shutdown meant they had to wait until the portal was reopened before updating their details.
