JAMB Signs Agreement With NECO, NABTEB, NBAIS on O’Level Results Upload

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has signed an agreement with the National Examinations Council (NECO), National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), and National Board for Arabic and Islamic Studies (NBAIS) on the upload and verification of candidates’ O’Level results.

The development is aimed at improving the way candidates’ O’Level results are accessed and verified during the admission process.

Under the new arrangement, JAMB is set to onboard NECO, NABTEB and NBAIS onto its O’Level verification system. The integration is expected to improve coordination between JAMB and the examination bodies while reducing some of the difficulties candidates encounter when their results need to be verified for admission.

Candidates should continue to follow JAMB’s current instructions regarding O’Level result upload and verification until the Board provides specific instructions on any changes to the process.

JAMB Signs Agreement With NECO, NABTEB, NBAIS on O’Level Results Upload

O’Level results are an important part of the admission process because institutions need to confirm that candidates possess the required subjects and grades for their chosen programmes.

JAMB new arrangement with the three examination bodies is intended to make the verification process more coordinated by connecting their examination records with JAMB’s O’Level verification system.

The three examination bodies covered by the arrangement are:

What the New JAMB O’Level Verification Agreement Means

The agreement means JAMB is expanding its O’Level verification system to include the three examination bodies.

In practical terms, the development is expected to make it easier for JAMB to access and verify relevant candidates examination records when processing admissions.

The expected benefits include:

• More efficient O’Level result verification.
• Better coordination between JAMB and examination bodies.
• Improved access to candidates’ examination records.
• Reduction of some manual verification difficulties.
• Better support for the admission processing system.

JAMB has already been moving toward more structured O’Level verification. For example, its recent admission guidelines for NCE candidates provide for verification of results from WAEC, NECO, NABTEB and NBAIS before registration.

Why O’Level Results Are Important for JAMB Admission

O’Level results are used to determine whether candidates meet the academic requirements for their chosen courses and institutions.

Depending on the programme, candidates may need specific credits in subjects such as English Language, Mathematics and other relevant subjects.

Because these results are important in determining admission eligibility, accurate verification is necessary. JAMB’s expanded verification arrangement is therefore intended to improve the process of confirming the authenticity and details of candidates’ results.

Will NECO Results Now Be Verified Through JAMB?

NECO is one of the examination bodies covered by the new agreement. JAMB is set to onboard the examination council onto its O’Level verification system.

This means candidates presenting NECO results should expect the Board’s verification system to increasingly support NECO result verification as the new arrangement is implemented.

Candidates should nevertheless continue to provide accurate examination information and follow whatever verification instructions JAMB displays on their profiles.

What About NABTEB Results?

NABTEB is also included in the agreement.

This is particularly relevant to candidates presenting NABTEB qualifications for admission. The integration is expected to improve how NABTEB results are accessed and verified during the admission process.

Candidates should ensure that their NABTEB examination details are correct and that they use only genuine results.

What About NBAIS Results?

NBAIS is the third examination body included in the agreement.

The inclusion means candidates presenting NBAIS qualifications will also be covered as JAMB expands its O’Level verification system.

This is particularly relevant to candidates whose admission requirements allow them to present NBAIS qualifications for their chosen programme.

Does This Mean Candidates No Longer Need to Upload Their O’Level Results?

No candidate should assume that the existing O’Level upload requirement has automatically been cancelled.

The agreement concerns the integration and verification of results. Candidates should continue to follow the instructions provided by JAMB and their institution regarding O’Level result upload.

Several institutions continue to instruct candidates to upload WAEC, NECO, NABTEB or NBAIS results to their JAMB profiles through accredited CBT centres.

Therefore, candidates should not stop an already required upload simply because they have heard about the new agreement.

What Candidates Should Do Now

Candidates should take the following steps:

1. Keep your original O’Level result or statement of result safe.
2. Make sure your examination number and year are correct.
3. Use only genuine WAEC, NECO, NABTEB or NBAIS results.
4. Check your JAMB profile regularly for new instructions.
5. Follow your institution’s admission requirements.
6. Complete any O’Level upload or verification requirement currently displayed by JAMB.
7. Keep evidence of any official verification payment you make.
8. Do not give your JAMB password, OTP or other sensitive information to an agent.

What If My O’Level Result Cannot Be Verified?

If your result cannot be verified, first check that you entered the correct examination body, examination year, examination number and other required details.

If the problem continues, follow JAMB’s official support instructions or contact the relevant examination body where necessary.

JAMB’s candidate support system has recorded cases involving candidates having difficulty generating O’Level verification codes for NECO and NABTEB results, showing why candidates should follow the official procedure rather than relying on unofficial methods.

Can Candidates Use NECO, NABTEB and NBAIS Results for Admission?

Yes, where the particular qualification meets the admission requirements of the candidate’s chosen programme and institution.

JAMB and tertiary institutions already recognise O’Level qualifications from relevant examination bodies, including NECO, NABTEB and NBAIS, subject to the requirements of the programme and institution.

For example, current institutional admission instructions require candidates to upload recognised O’Level results from WAEC, NECO, NABTEB and/or NBAIS to their JAMB profiles where applicable.

Important Warning to Candidates

Do not pay anyone claiming to have a special connection with JAMB that can “activate” your O’Level result.

Use the official JAMB platform and approved channels for result upload and verification. Do not share your JAMB password, OTP, examination PIN or other confidential information with strangers.

Conclusion

JAMB’s agreement with NECO, NABTEB and NBAIS is aimed at improving the way candidates’ O’Level results are accessed and verified during the admission process.

By onboarding the three examination bodies onto its O’Level verification system, JAMB is expected to improve coordination between the Board and the examination bodies and reduce some of the challenges associated with result verification.

For candidates, the most important thing is to continue using genuine O’Level results, keep their examination details accurate and follow the latest instructions on their JAMB profile and from their institution.

Do not stop uploading or verifying your O’Level result based solely on this announcement. Wait for JAMB’s official candidate instructions if the Board changes the current procedure.
