If you applied to Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) as your first-choice institution for the 2024/2025 academic session and participated in the recently concluded Post-UTME screening exercise, this article is for you. The university has issued an important notice regarding the uploading of O’Level and A’Level results on the JAMB portal.
In this detailed guide, we will explain why this step is essential, how to upload your results, the consequences of not doing so, and other related information. Let’s get started.
Why Is It Necessary to Upload O’Level and A’Level Results?
Uploading your O’Level and A’Level results on the JAMB portal is a critical requirement for processing your admission into NSUK. Without these results, the university cannot verify your academic qualifications, which means your application will not progress further.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) requires this upload to ensure transparency and alignment between the results you submitted during your Post-UTME registration and your actual academic records. It also allows NSUK to validate your eligibility for admission.
Who Does This Apply To?
This directive applies to:
- All applicants who selected NSUK as their first-choice institution during the JAMB registration.
- Candidates who participated in the 2024/2025 Post-UTME screening exercise and are awaiting the processing of their admission.
If you meet the above criteria, it is mandatory for you to take action.
What Happens If You Don’t Upload Your Results?
Failure to upload your results on the JAMB portal will result in disqualification from the admission process. According to NSUK’s notice, candidates who fail to comply with this directive will not be considered for admission, regardless of their Post-UTME performance or other qualifications.
This could mean losing the opportunity to study at NSUK for the 2024/2025 academic session.
How to Upload Your O’Level and A’Level Results on the JAMB Portal
Follow these steps to ensure your results are uploaded correctly:
1. Visit a JAMB Accredited CBT Centre
The result upload process can only be done at a JAMB-accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) Centre. These centers have the necessary systems to access the JAMB portal and upload your results.
To find a nearby CBT center:
- Visit the official JAMB website at www.jamb.gov.ng.
- Click on “Accredited Centers” to view a list of approved centers in your state.
2. Gather Required Documents
Ensure you have the following documents ready:
- A printed copy of your O’Level results (WAEC, NECO, GCE) or equivalent.
- A printed copy of your A’Level results (IJMB, JUPEB), if applicable.
- Your JAMB Registration Number.
- A valid means of identification.
3. Pay the Required Fee
Most CBT centers charge a small fee for uploading results. Ensure you have the necessary funds, which typically range between ₦500 and ₦1,000.
4. Visit the CBT Centre
Once at the CBT center:
- Inform the staff that you want to upload your O’Level and A’Level results to the JAMB portal.
- Provide your JAMB registration number and other required documents.
5. Verify the Uploaded Results
Before leaving the center, request confirmation that your results have been successfully uploaded. You can also check your JAMB CAPS portal later to ensure the results reflect correctly.
Additional Tips to Avoid Errors
- Double-check your results: Ensure there are no errors in your name, subject grades, or examination year.
- Use only accredited centers: Non-accredited centers may cause delays or errors in processing.
- Check the upload status: After uploading, log in to your JAMB CAPS portal to confirm the status of your results.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Uploading incomplete results: Make sure all subjects and grades are included.
- Late uploads: Do not wait until the admission process closes before uploading your results.
- Relying on others to upload: Always confirm that the process has been done correctly.
Informing Others About This Development
NSUK has also advised members of the general public to inform applicants who might not be aware of this directive. If you have a friend, sibling, or ward who applied to NSUK, ensure they know about this requirement.
