Learn how to upload O’Level Results on JAMB CAPS Portal or profile for direct entry, post-UTME admission, and screening application registration. To gain admission through Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), applicants are required to upload their WAEC SSCE and NECO results onto JAMB Portal.
Students sitting for NABTEB examinations or awaiting WAEC SSCE/NECO results would be required to upload their scores onto the JAMB portal after their O’level results have been released.

Ways to Upload Results on JAMB CAPS Portal
There are two ways students can upload their results online through JAMB.
- During the JAMB registration process
- After the JAMB exams
During the JAMB registration, upload WAEC or NECO results onto the JAMB portal if you already have them. Learn how to verify if your WAEC and NECO are uploaded on JAMB.
How to correct O’level subjects’ results repeated twice on JAMB Portal
Admission seekers who have gone to CBT centers to upload their O’level results must return to the JAMB portal to confirm if the results were reflected on their CAPS, they noticed their subjects were repeated twice.
Applicants who have login JAMB CAPS and released that O’level results were uploaded but, saw that (e.g English, Mathematics, Civic Education, and a few other subjects were showing two times with their corresponding grades).
How could you solve this problem? Does it matter? Will it affect your admission if left unchanged? Can you change it back to show only one subject if you return to the CBT center?
Don’t worry about subjects repeating themselves on the JAMB Portal
You don’t have to worry as this error is usually due to the JAMB portal technical glitches. It is not the fault of the CBT center that helped you to upload the result in the first place.
Candidates are likely to see each subject repeating itself on certain conditions. It may happen if you have uploaded the result once but later returned to reload it. Some had uploaded one result but they later added another result (maybe a better one or to make two sittings). Some candidates clicked on the refresh button a few times to make their results reflect and this happened.
In short, it’s not a problem as regards your admission as this is of no effect in any way.
What happens to subjects showing more than 9 required for admissions?
Each course in a University, Polytechnic, College of Education, Innovation enterprise institution (IEI), School of Nursing, and College of health requires 9 subjects to gain admission to any course at maximum, 5 to 6 subjects.
Don’t worry about 18 subjects appearing on your JAMB CAPS. JAMB required only the best 5/6 subjects to determine your cut-off marks to process your admission and proposed course of study.
During the post-UTME or the screening period, enter all the subjects and grades (no repetition as it happened on the JAMB Portal). Some schools will only ask you to fill in the five required subjects for your proposed course.
How to Check if Your WAEC SSCE Results are Uploaded on JAMB Portal
Now that you’re sure you had earlier submitted your SSCE results for the CBT center or you’ve gone back to upload the awaiting results, you may want to be sure if they truly did it for you. How do you go by this?
In order to be sure whether your SSCE result was uploaded or not, follow the method below:
- Go to https://portal.jamb.gov.ng
- Access JAMB profile
- Tap on Create JAMB e-facility Account
You’re not to create a new account, just login with your details
- Log in with your JAMB profile email and profile password
- Discover JAMB dashboard
- Scroll to the end of the page
- Locate “Check Admission Status”
- Tap “Access My CAPS”
- Tap to display “My O’level”
Note: If you’re using a phone to check, change your browser view (chrome) to “desktop view” to be able to see all items in your CAPS.
Conclusion
A repeating subject on the JAMB portal is nothing to worry about as long as the upload is already showing the 5 or 6 subjects you will need for the course you propose. That’s what matters in the long run.
However, for the post-UTME/DE screening registration, fill in the subjects correctly, and don’t worry about repeating it here. Just as for the matriculation board, higher institutions in Nigeria only required 5 or 6 subjects needed from all the subjects supplied for the post-UTME.
