The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has instructed all UTME candidates who uploaded their WAEC results prior to the official release of the 2025 final results to revisit accredited centres and resubmit their information.
This directive aims to ensure only authentic, verified data is used in the 2025 admission process.
The directive comes after JAMB cleared all previously submitted results from its system to eliminate inconsistencies caused by premature uploads. Many candidates had originally submitted provisional WAEC records or awaiting results before the final release, leading to potential discrepancies within the admission framework.
This fresh upload requirement applies to every candidate, irrespective of whether the new results differ from those initially submitted. JAMB emphasized that only the official final WAEC Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) outcomes will be recognised for university and tertiary admissions this year.
The new development follows a technical glitch discovered by WAEC, which temporarily restricted access to its results portal to correct errors in grading key subjects such as Mathematics, English, Biology, and Economics. With those corrections in place, JAMB reopened its upload portal around August 20, urging candidates to promptly complete the re-upload at any of its accredited Computer Based Test centres nationwide.
This reset was necessary to prevent admission complications and to maintain integrity within the admission framework, as earlier uploads had become unreliable due to the grading revisions and premature data submissions.
Candidates are encouraged to comply swiftly to avoid exclusion from the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
