2025 UTME: JAMB issues fresh directive

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed all candidates who uploaded their O’level results before the official release of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WAEC SSCE) results to revisit accredited centres and re-upload their records.

The directive, issued in JAMB’s weekly news bulletin on Monday, explained that the Board has cleared all earlier uploads from its system to avoid discrepancies and to ensure that only the final WAEC results are considered during the 2025 admission process.

According to JAMB, many candidates who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) with “awaiting results” had uploaded incomplete or provisional WAEC records before the official release.

“To address the issue, JAMB has mandated a fresh upload for every candidate, irrespective of whether the new results differ from those uploaded earlier,” the statement read.

The Board therefore advised all UTME candidates to urgently re-upload their 2025 SSCE results on the JAMB portal through any accredited centre, warning that failure to comply may render them ineligible for admission consideration.
