Quick truth about the upload process in 2025
You cannot upload O-Level to CAPS by yourself on eFacility. Accredited CBT centers handle uploads.
JAMB offices and approved centers enter your grades, then sync them to CAPS for schools to verify.
You will only confirm status on CAPS. The actual data entry happens at accredited upload points.
Why this upload is so important for admission
Universities confirm your grades on CAPS before offering admission and while finalizing faculty clearance requirements.
If your grades are missing on CAPS, your offer can stall quietly, despite strong scores and screening performance.
Upload early, then verify. Do not wait for lists. Missing data blocks merit lists and supplementary opportunities.
What you must bring to the CBT center
Bring your JAMB registration number, full name, email, and phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
Carry your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB result slip, printed clearly, with the correct candidate name and grades shown.
If you used two sittings, carry both slips. Ensure names match perfectly across every submitted examination record.
Some centers request the result checker PIN or token. Go prepared, even if your printed slip already shows grades.
How to upload O-Level at an accredited center
Walk into a JAMB‑accredited CBT center. Ask specifically for O-Level upload to JAMB CAPS this session.
Provide your JAMB registration details and show your result slip(s). The attendant will open the upload interface.
They will select exam type, year, sitting, center number, and enter grades exactly as printed on the results.
Confirm each subject, grade, and year on the screen. Do not rush. Spot mistakes before finalizing anything.
Ask the attendant to save and submit. Request a printed acknowledgment or screenshot for your personal records.
Verifying your upload on JAMB CAPS afterward
Open the JAMB e-facility portal, sign in, click “Check Admission Status,” then click “Access CAPS” on your dashboard menu.
On mobile, switch your browser to “Desktop site” to reveal all tabs available on the CAPS interface.
Click “My O’Level.” You should see your exam type, year, subjects, and grades exactly as they were uploaded.
If blank, wait a short while, then refresh. If still empty, return to the CBT center for assistance.
Uploading two sittings without losing essential credits
Pick your primary sitting first. Add the second sitting, ensuring the five core subjects appear as credits.
For Nursing and Medicine, English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics must appear with acceptable credit grades there.
For Law and Arts, English and Literature credits are non‑negotiable. Confirm departmental notes for the other subjects.
Avoid duplicating the same subject in both sittings. Select the best grade once to keep records clean.
Awaiting results, candidates, and timely updates
You can register for UTME with an Awaiting Result. Upload final grades immediately they are released by WAEC or NECO.
Do not delay uploads after release. Universities move fast, and late uploads miss computation windows for ranking lists.
If results are withheld, keep checking the examining body’s portal, then upload as soon as the issue clears.
Common upload mistakes and how to fix them
Wrong exam year or type leads to rejection during school verification. Return to the center for quick correction.
Spelling differences in names slow verification. Use affidavits and official corrections, then request an update at the center.
Mismatched subjects reduce points. Ensure the subjects align with your chosen program’s published requirements before final submission.
Blurred slips cause errors. Reprint in high quality. Centers enter what they can see, so clarity saves you.
What it costs and how to pay safely
Centers charge a small service fee. Prices vary by location. Ask first, then process your upload transparently.
Pay at the desk or with a POS tied to the center. Avoid unknown third‑party collectors or agents.
Collect a receipt if available. Save screenshots of any online acknowledgments showing your upload was submitted successfully.
Deadlines you should keep in mind this admission year
Upload before your school’s screening window closes. Many schools compute aggregates only after confirming CAPS O-Level entries.
Do not wait for merit lists. Upload early. Supplementary rounds still rely on CAPS data for quick eligibility checks.
Remember, CAPS closes for the session eventually. Late uploads cannot rescue offers after the window fully shuts.
Subject requirements you should cross‑check first
Health programs expect English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics credits. Keep grades strong across those science subjects.
Engineering prefers English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry credits. Additional credits depend on departmental requirements for admission consideration.
Law and Arts require English and Literature credits, then two or three approved Arts or Social Science subjects, accordingly.
Management and Social Sciences expect English, Mathematics, Economics, and related subjects. Confirm the latest brochure before uploading.
How to update or replace previously uploaded grades
Return to an accredited center. Ask for O-Level update. Provide the new slip with corrected or newly released grades.
The attendant will overwrite incorrect entries with the correct data. Watch the screen and confirm before final submission.
Recheck CAPS “My O’Level” after some minutes. If unchanged, log out, wait, then try again to verify.
If your O-Level still doesn’t show on CAPS
Confirm you are on the correct year’s CAPS profile. Some candidates accidentally view previous cycles during verification.
Switch to desktop mode, refresh, and try another browser. Sometimes UI caching hides updated information temporarily from view.
Visit the centre again. Ask them to confirm the upload status and resubmit the record if necessary.
Tips for WAEC, NECO, and NABTEB candidates
WAEC numbers include the center and candidate numbers together. Confirm format and year correctly before the operator types anything.
NECO displays subjects and grades clearly on the online slip. Print a clean copy to reduce reading mistakes.
NABTEB candidates should verify subject equivalences with departmental notes. Some programs restrict specific vocational subjects strictly.
How to Protect your profile and personal information
Do not hand over your email password to anyone. The operator only needs your JAMB registration number.
Stand by the desk during upload. Read the entries yourself. Confirm before they press the final submit button.
Avoid sharing result slips on social media. Cover barcodes and sensitive details if you must request remote assistance.
How schools use your uploaded grades internally
Faculties match O-Level data from CAPS with your screening records, then compute ranking points for departmental lists.
Any mismatch triggers queries. Clean grades speed computation and reduce delays while merit and supplementary lists are compiled.
Uploading early ensures your file is complete when schools run their first round of eligibility checks this year.
Simple step‑by‑step recap you can screenshot now
– Visit an accredited CBT center with your result slip(s) and JAMB registration number ready for processing immediately.
– Operator selects exam type, year, and sitting, then types subjects and grades exactly as printed on slips accurately.
– You cross‑check entries, confirm save, and request an acknowledgment. Keep a receipt or screenshot for your personal records file.
– Log into CAPS later, open “My O’Level,” and verify all entries display correctly for schools’ verification and ranking processing.
Special cases that many candidates ask about
Married candidates with a name change should carry their marriage certificates for the records. Update JAMB profile before uploading O’Level details.
If your date of birth is wrong, fix it via JAMB data correction services before finalizing any upload entries.
For foreign secondary certificates, ask admissions about equivalence. Some schools require WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB, specifically this session.
What you should cross-check before you leave the center
Names match across JAMB, WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB. Exam type, year, and sitting are selected correctly and confirmed carefully.
Subjects and grades entered exactly as on slips. Two sittings combined properly, showing all core credits without duplication.
Acknowledgment printed or screenshot saved. Receipt kept. Operator confirms submission. You verified later on CAPS successfully.
Safety and scam warnings you should always remember
No one can “upgrade” grades on CAPS. Uploads mirror original slips. Report upgrade offers as fraud immediately and directly.
Pay only at recognized centers. Do not send money to strangers promising express uploads or secret portal access.
Keep your documents safe. Share details only with accredited staff. Protect your admission prospects carefully this entire season.
