Nigeria’s Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has introduced an online system that allows candidates seeking admission through the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination to verify and upload their O’Level results from home. Reports published by Vanguard and PUNCH on 24 August 2026 say candidates no longer need to visit a Computer-Based Test centre for the process.
The service covers both verification and upload of O’Level results, according to Vanguard. PUNCH also describes it as a home-based option available through the JAMB portal, presenting it as an alternative to completing the task at a CBT centre.
The source evidence supplied for this report does not include JAMB’s step-by-step procedure. It does not specify the exact portal page candidates should use, the login or identity checks required, the examination bodies covered, or whether supporting information such as examination numbers, years and result-checking credentials will be needed.
It is also not clear from the available evidence how candidates will confirm that an upload has been accepted, what they should do if their result cannot be verified, or whether the online option applies to every 2026 UTME admission applicant. Candidates will therefore need to consult JAMB’s official instructions before submitting any information or relying on an upload as complete.
The change moves a previously centre-based admission task online for affected candidates. Its practical effect is that eligible applicants can carry out the process remotely, while the unresolved operational details will determine how the service works in individual cases.
