Overview
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has activated additional portal services for 2026 Direct Entry (DE) candidates, allowing applicants to carry out key admission-related updates ahead of the 2026 admission exercise.[reference:38]
The activated services include Correction of Data, Biometric Recapture, and the Upload of O'Level and A'Level Results, giving Direct Entry applicants the opportunity to update and validate their admission records.[reference:39]

Why Uploading Your Results Is Mandatory
No Upload, No Admission
JAMB has repeatedly emphasized that uploading O'Level results on CAPS is a mandatory prerequisite for admission consideration. The automated CAPS portal will automatically bypass any candidate with a missing O'Level profile. Even if a candidate scores high in their UTME, institutions cannot propose them for admission if their O'Level field is blank.[reference:40]
Institutional Screenings
Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education require verified O'Level data to calculate departmental aggregate scores for Post-UTME screening exercises.
A'Level Verification
The activated portal also enables Direct Entry candidates to monitor the verification status of their A'Level qualifications.

Important Notes for Candidates
Multiple Sittings
Candidates combining two sittings (e.g., WAEC and NECO) must ensure that the grades from both exam bodies are successfully uploaded to the portal during their visit to the CBT centre.
Physical Verification Required
If any service requires physical verification, visit an accredited JAMB Professional Registration Centre (PRC) or an approved CBT Centre to complete the process.[reference:50]
Early Upload Is Key
With public institutions facing an October 31, 2026 admission conclusion deadline, early verification on the CAPS portal remains the most effective strategy for securing a smooth screening process.
Monitor Your Profile
Applicants should ensure that their details have been successfully updated on the JAMB portal and regularly monitor their institutions of choice for further screening and admission guidelines.[reference:51]
