After writing WAEC or NECO, one of the most important things every candidate must do is to upload their O’level results to the JAMB portal. If you're wondering whether you can upload your WAEC result from home, this guide is for you.
In 2025, while the actual upload still requires official access, you can start the process online, confirm your result status, and avoid common errors. Here's how to easily upload your WAEC result to JAMB online—even from the comfort of your home.
Can I Upload WAEC Result to JAMB Portal Myself?
Unfortunately, you cannot upload WAEC results directly by yourself on the JAMB portal at home. Only JAMB-accredited CBT centres are allowed to upload O’level results officially.
However, from home, you can prepare the result for upload, check if it’s already uploaded, and print your slip after upload confirmation.
What You Can Do from Home
| Task | Can You Do It from Home? |
|---|---|
| Check if WAEC result is uploaded | ✅ Yes |
| Start JAMB CAPS login | ✅ Yes |
| Upload result | ❌ No (Only CBT centres) |
| Re-upload updated result | ❌ No (Visit CBT centre) |
| Print confirmation | ✅ Yes |
Documents You’ll Need Before Upload
Before heading to a CBT centre or preparing to verify online, make sure you have:

How to Upload Your WAEC Result (The Right Way)
If your result is not yet uploaded, here’s what to do:

You must go in person to any approved CBT centre with your result.

Can I Upload “Awaiting Result” and Update Later?
Yes. If you selected "Awaiting Result" during JAMB registration, you must upload it once your WAEC or NECO result is released.
If not uploaded, you won't be considered for admission, even if you pass the post-UTME.
Can I Change or Re-upload a Mistaken Result?
Yes. If there's a mistake in the earlier upload (wrong exam type, wrong grade), go back to any CBT centre and request a re-upload. Ensure the correct result slip is submitted this time.
