Uploading O’level results to the JAMB portal is an essential step for candidates seeking admission into higher institutions in Nigeria. This article aims to provide a comprehensive guide on how to check if your O’level result has been uploaded to the JAMB CAPs portal. We will also address common problems and FAQs related to the process.

Overview of JAMB CAPs

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) introduced the Central Admissions Processing Service (CAPs) to regulate and streamline the admission process into Nigerian higher institutions. The JAMB CAPs portal offers candidates the ability to track their admission status, accept or reject admission offers, and confirm the upload of their O’level results.

Key Sections of JAMB CAPs

  • Transfer Approval: Candidates who did not meet the cutoff for their initial course but are being considered for another course must accept the new course here to be admitted.
  • Marketplace: This section allows other institutions to offer admission to a particular candidate.
  • Admission Status: Candidates can confirm and accept their admission when it is offered.
  • My Choices: This tab displays the institutions of choice which the candidates have selected.
  • My Profile: Contains candidate data such as date of birth and UTME score.
  • My O’level: Candidates can confirm if their O’level results have been uploaded. This is the primary focus of this guide.

Accessing JAMB CAPs

To access the JAMB CAPs portal, candidates must have linked a valid email to their JAMB profile during registration or visited a CBT center to do the email linking after registration. Additionally, they must have a JAMB email and password.

How to Check Your Uploaded O’level Result on JAMB CAPs

Follow these steps to confirm if your O’level result has been uploaded to the JAMB CAPs portal:

  1. Visit the JAMB e-Facility Portal.
  2. Log in using your JAMB email and password. If you have not changed the password, the default password should start with “cand.”
  3. After successful login, set your browser to desktop mode if you are accessing the page with a mobile phone. This step is crucial, as the subsequent steps may not work as expected without desktop mode.
  4. Click on the “Check Admission Status” tab, select your admission year, and verify that the registration number matches your registration number for that year.
  5. Click on “Access My CAPs.”
  6. On the CAPs page, navigate to the “My O’level” section.
  7. Confirm that your O’level result is correctly uploaded.

Despite the simplicity of the process, some candidates may encounter issues while checking their O’level results on the JAMB CAPs portal. This section addresses common problems and their solutions.

Problem: Half-page Display on CAPs Portal

This issue may occur if you do not set your browser to desktop mode before accessing the CAPs portal. It is advisable to use an Android phone for this process, as half-page displays may still occur with iOS devices. iPhone users may resolve this by tilting their phone to landscape mode. In general, setting the page to desktop mode should resolve this issue on Android devices. Alternatively, try checking JAMB CAPs using a laptop.

Problem: No JAMB Email and Password

If you do not have a JAMB email and password, you will not be able to access the portal or will see a “wrong email or password” response. The following interventions can solve this issue:

  • If your email is linked: Request a new password by clicking on the “Reset Password” button on the page. The new password will be delivered to your email within seconds of this request.
  • If you have not linked your email: Visit the nearest CBT center to link your email, allowing you access to the portal with an email and password.
  • If you requested a password reset but your email is not accessible: If you cannot access your email due to incorrect linking or lost email password, visit the nearest CBT center to check if your O’level result has been uploaded. This solution also applies to checking your admission status and may cost between 200-500 Naira for the service.

Problem: “You are not eligible to use this service” Response

This response may occur if you are using an email not linked to your JAMB profile to access the portal or if you have not confirmed your examination year and JAMB registration number. To resolve this issue, ensure you access the portal with the linked email (your profile code should display at the top of the page when you log in) and confirm that you have selected the correct year and registration number.
