The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has erased all previously uploaded WAEC O-level results from its system, directing candidates to re-upload their final 2025 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results.
The directive affects all applicants who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) with awaiting results and those who uploaded provisional WAEC grades before the final release.
According to JAMB, the decision ensures that only the authentic and corrected WAEC 2025 SSCE results are used in the university admission process.
“JAMB has dropped all previously uploaded results to allow candidates to upload the WAEC SSCE final results. Please re-upload your 2025 SSCE result to the JAMB portal without delay to be eligible for admission consideration,” the Board announced.
Why JAMB Cleared Uploaded Results
The policy shift followed WAEC’s correction of its August 4 results release, which initially showed only 38.32% of candidates achieving at least five credits, including English and Mathematics. After identifying a wrong serialised code file that distorted grading in Mathematics, English, Biology, and Economics, WAEC revised the figures, raising the pass rate to 62.96%.
This discrepancy created inconsistencies in JAMB’s system, as thousands of candidates had already uploaded the flawed results. To prevent confusion, JAMB shut down uploads around August 14, fixed technical errors, and later reopened the WAEC upload portal between August 20–21, wiping all prior entries to create a level playing field.
What Candidates Must Do
All candidates must re-upload their final WAEC results, regardless of whether their earlier uploads matched the corrected version. Failure to comply means automatic exclusion from the 2025 admission consideration process.
- Only final WAEC SSCE results will be accepted.
- Old uploads, including those awaiting results, have been deleted.
- Re-upload must be done promptly at JAMB-approved centres.
- Non-compliance will lead to disqualification.
