JAMB Orders Candidates to Re-upload WAEC Results for 2025 Admissions — Here’s What You Must Do
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a fresh directive that is catching many UTME candidates by surprise: all students must re-upload their WAEC results, even if they had uploaded them before.
The announcement, made in JAMB’s latest bulletin, means that earlier uploads — especially those done with “awaiting results” or partial grades — will no longer count.
Why JAMB Is Demanding a Fresh Upload
According to JAMB, the board deliberately cleared its system to avoid errors that could arise from incomplete or inconsistent uploads. Many candidates had uploaded their results before WAEC released the final grades, while others submitted partial details.
To prevent issues during admission screening, JAMB says only fresh, complete WAEC SSCE results will now be accepted.
In simple terms:
- Old uploads are no longer valid
- Only final WAEC results count
- Even if your old upload matches your final result, you must still re-upload
What This Means for Candidates
JAMB has made it clear that this step is not optional. If you fail to re-upload, your admission chances could be at risk when universities begin releasing lists.
Think of it as JAMB wiping its chalkboard clean — every student now has to rewrite their details neatly and correctly.
Steps You Must Take Immediately
To stay eligible for admission, candidates are advised to:
- Visit a JAMB-accredited CBT centre
- Carry along their full WAEC SSCE result slip
- Re-upload the result without delay
- Confirm that it reflects correctly on their JAMB profile
Failing to do this could mean being sidelined when schools start compiling admission lists.
The Urgent Takeaway
JAMB’s message is simple: act fast. Candidates who delay may face unnecessary stress when universities begin their selections.
For students aiming to secure admission this year, the smartest move is to complete the re-upload now, not later. In the words of many Nigerian students: “Na who sharp go enter first.”
