JAMB Reactivates CAPS Portal; Check Out How to Upload Your O-level Results

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has just reactivated the CAPS portal, and you can now upload your WAEC results easily. This comes after the portal was closed for a short time to fix some technical problems.

On its X (formerly Twitter) page, JAMB told candidates:

“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.”

So, if you wrote both the UTME and WAEC exams this year, the next step is to go to the JAMB CAPS portal and upload your O-level results.

What is the JAMB CAPS Portal?

If you don’t know, the JAMB CAPS portal is an online system that helps manage the admission process into Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. This portal lets candidates upload their WAEC or NECO results, check if they have been admitted, accept or reject admission offers, and track their admission progress all in one place.

In simple terms, the JAMB CAPS portal connects your UTME results to your admission journey — from choosing your preferred institution, going through post-UTME screening, up to final admission.

The portal started being used fully in 2018 to make the admission process fairer, reduce mistakes like multiple admissions, and give schools more control over who they admit.

Why was the JAMB CAPS Portal Closed Before?

Last week, the portal was temporarily shut down because of a glitch in the WAEC results upload section. JAMB wanted to solve this problem, especially for those who had already uploaded results that needed correction. But now, everything is fixed, and the portal is up and running again.

How to Upload your O-level Results on the JAMB CAPS Portal

Uploading your O-level results on the JAMB CAPS portal is very important for your admission. Here’s a simple guide on how to do it:

Go to the JAMB E-facility portal
Use a computer, laptop, or tablet if you can, because the portal works best in desktop mode. If you’re on your phone, you can switch your browser to “desktop mode” by tapping the three dots at the top right.
Log in with your email and password
Enter the details you used when registering for JAMB and log into your profile.
Find your JAMB CAPS profile
Click on ‘Check Admission Status’ to get to your CAPS dashboard.
Upload your O-level result
On your dashboard, select ‘Upload O-level Result.’ Enter your subjects and grades carefully. Double-check to avoid mistakes.
Submit your results
After you’ve entered everything correctly, click ‘Submit’ to upload your results.

Remember to frequently check the JAMB CAPS portal to make sure your results stay there. If any problem happens, JAMB will inform candidates on what to do next.

How to Check if Your O-level Results are Uploaded

To be sure your O-level results have been successfully uploaded:

Log into your profile.
Click “Check Admission Status.”
Select “Access My CAPS.”
Click “My O’Level” to see your results.

If you see your grades displayed, it means your upload was successful. If it shows “Awaiting Result” or is blank, you may need to upload again.

Why is This Important?

The JAMB CAPS portal is key in your admission process. Without uploading your O-level results there, schools won’t be able to verify your exam grades, which can delay or stop your admission. So, make sure you complete this step as soon as possible now that JAMB has reactivated the CAPS portal.

In summary, JAMB has reactivated the CAPS portal for 2025 WAEC result uploads. If you haven’t done so, visit any accredited center or use the JAMB CAPS portal online to upload your O-level results. It’s simple, quick, and most importantly, necessary if you want to get admitted into your preferred tertiary institution this year.
