JAMB Reactivates Portal for O'Level Upload, Change of Course and Institution – What Every 2026 Candidate Must Know

Published by OGB Admission Hub The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reactivated its portal for critical admission-related services, including O'Level result uploading, Change of Course, Change of Institution, and other data corrections for 2026 UTME candidates. This development provides another opportunity for candidates to correct errors, upload pending results, and improve their admission chances before institutions conclude their admission processes. Why This Update Is Important Many candidates registered for UTME using Awaiting Result (AR) and are yet to upload their WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or GCE results. Others have discovered that their UTME scores may not be competitive enough for their preferred courses or institutions. With the portal now active, candidates can: Upload or re-upload O'Level results Change course of study Change institution Correct certain biodata errors Improve their admission prospects before Post-UTME screening closes in many institutions. Who Should Upload Their O'Level Results? You should upload your O'Level result immediately if: You used Awaiting Result during registration. Your result is not showing on JAMB CAPS. You recently obtained your WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or GCE result. You are combining two sittings and need both results reflected on CAPS. Failure to upload your O'Level result may prevent institutions from considering you for admission, even if you meet the UTME cut-off mark. How to Upload Your O'Level Result Step 1 Visit any accredited JAMB CBT Centre or JAMB Office. Step 2 Go with: Your JAMB Registration Number WAEC/NECO/NABTEB Result Profile details Step 3 Request for O'Level Upload. Step 4 After upload, log in to CAPS and confirm that your grades are displayed correctly. JAMB Change of Course and Institution Has Commenced Candidates who are no longer comfortable with their current course or institution can now process a Change of Course or Institution through accredited CBT centres. Reports indicate that the portal has been activated for this purpose. Reasons to Consider a Change Your UTME score is below your school's cut-off mark. Your course is highly competitive. You discovered a better institution with lower admission requirements. You made mistakes during registration. How to Process Change of Course or Institution Visit an accredited CBT Centre. Request for Change of Course/Institution. Make the required payment. Provide your new course or institution details. Complete biometric verification. Collect your confirmation slip. Important Advice Before Changing Course Do not rush into changing your course because of pressure from friends. Before making any change, consider: Your UTME score O'Level subject requirements Previous admission trends Institutional cut-off marks Your career goals At OGB Admission Hub, we advise candidates to seek proper guidance before making any admission decision. How to Confirm Your O'Level Upload on CAPS Log in to JAMB e-Facility. Click "Check Admission Status." Select "Access My CAPS." Click "My O'Level." If your grades appear, your upload was successful. If it still shows "Awaiting Result," revisit the CBT centre for verification. Final Words This portal activation presents a valuable opportunity for candidates seeking admission in the 2026/2027 academic session. Candidates are strongly advised to upload their O'Level results, verify their CAPS status, and make necessary course or institution adjustments as early as possible. Remember, admission is not only about scoring high in UTME; it is also about making the right admission decisions at the right time. Need Admission Guidance?
