Candidates seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions will now pay a one-time fee of N4,000 to verify their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) O’Level results through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The decision was announced in a joint statement issued by JAMB and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) on Tuesday following consultations over the newly introduced system for remote upload and verification of O’Level results.
Under the arrangement, candidates whose admissions are processed through JAMB will verify their WAEC results once through the board’s designated platform. The verified outcome will then be transmitted to the institution where the candidate is seeking admission.
JAMB and WAEC clarified that candidates will not be required to pay another verification fee to their chosen tertiary institutions.
The agencies stated that the N4,000 payment covers the verification exercise and is not an annual or institution-specific charge.
“Tertiary institutions are to utilise the verified results shared by JAMB for screening, processing candidate admission and other administrative purposes,” the statement said.
The new system allows candidates to upload and verify their O’Level results from home or any location with internet access, reducing the need to visit JAMB-approved Computer-Based Test centres solely for verification.
WAEC has also authorised JAMB to share the outcome of the verification exercise with relevant tertiary institutions for admission and other administrative purposes.
The agencies said the arrangement was designed to prevent candidates from undergoing multiple verification exercises after completing the process through JAMB.
“Candidates who have successfully verified their WASSCE O’ Level result through the Verification Service platform will not be required to repeat the same verification exercise,” they stated.
The collaboration is also expected to reduce the financial and logistical burden on candidates while improving the integrity and security of academic records.
Previously, candidates could face separate verification requirements from JAMB, WAEC and individual tertiary institutions, potentially resulting in additional costs and repeated checks.
JAMB and WAEC said the new “one verification, multiple uses” system would simplify the admission process and reduce unnecessary expenses and movement for candidates.
The examination bodies therefore advised candidates participating in the 2026/2027 admission process to complete their WASSCE O’Level verification through the designated JAMB platform and retain their verification details for admission purposes.
