🎓 JAMB Adds Previous Years UTME O’Level Results Verification Option on CAPS
Published: September 13, 2026 | Source: CampusAI News
📌 Overview
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has added a dedicated “Previous Years UTME O’Level Results Verification” option to the Candidate’s Dashboard on its e-Facility/CAPS platform.
The option is displayed separately from the “2026 UTME O’Level Results Verification” option on the dashboard.
This gives candidates with previous-year UTME records, including candidates who sat for the 2025 UTME, a dedicated option for accessing the relevant O’Level verification service.
A screenshot of the JAMB Candidate’s Dashboard shows the two options displayed separately:
- 2026 UTME O’Level Results Verification
- Previous Years UTME O’Level Results Verification
The development is particularly relevant to candidates from previous admission cycles who are still involved in admission processing through JAMB.

🆕 What Has Changed on the JAMB Dashboard?
Candidates can now see a dedicated tile labelled:
> Previous Years UTME O’Level Results Verification
This appears alongside the existing:
> 2026 UTME O’Level Results Verification
The distinction means candidates are not being presented with one generic O’Level verification option for every examination year.
Instead, JAMB’s dashboard now provides a separate route for previous years’ UTME records.
The examination year selected on the dashboard determines the activities available to the candidate.
---
🎯 Who Is the Previous Years Verification Option For?
The option is relevant to candidates whose UTME records are from previous examination years.
For example, a candidate who sat for the 2025 UTME and is still processing admission may see the Previous Years UTME O’Level Results Verification option on the JAMB dashboard.
Candidates from other previous UTME years may also see the option depending on the records associated with their JAMB profile.
The exact services available may vary according to the examination year selected and the candidate’s records on the platform.

📊 JAMB O’Level Verification Options
| Option on Dashboard | Applicable Record |

⚠️ Important: Previously Uploaded O’Level Results Remain Valid
The appearance of the new verification option does not automatically mean that candidates who previously uploaded their O’Level results must upload them again.
JAMB has clarified that candidates who uploaded their O’Level results through the previous process do not need to re-upload the results or obtain a new verification code simply because the new verification arrangement has been introduced.
The clarification covers candidates who uploaded their results during the current registration exercise, after the release of WAEC results, as well as candidates whose results were uploaded in previous years under the former process.
JAMB said previously uploaded O’Level results remain valid and continue to be recognised on its platform. 4
Candidates should therefore not panic or unnecessarily repeat an O’Level upload simply because the new verification option is now visible.
---
🔎 Why Is JAMB Introducing O’Level Verification?
JAMB’s new verification arrangement is aimed at strengthening the integrity of O’Level results used during the admission process.
The Board has explained that the system is intended to help ensure that results presented for admission can be verified against records held by the relevant examination bodies.
JAMB has also begun direct verification of candidates’ O’Level results from examination bodies, beginning with WAEC. 5
The Board’s current CAPS platform also includes O’Level statistics as part of the information used in the 2026/2027 admission process. 6

📌 What Previous-Year Candidates Should Do
Candidates who sat for UTME in previous years and are still seeking admission should:
- Log in to their JAMB e-Facility account.
- Check the examination year displayed on their dashboard.
- Look for “Previous Years UTME O’Level Results Verification.”
- Select the appropriate option where available.
- Carefully read the instructions before proceeding.
- Confirm that their personal and O’Level information is accurate.
- Avoid unnecessary repeat uploads if their O’Level result was already uploaded under the previous system.
Candidates should also avoid relying on unofficial claims that the appearance of the new option automatically creates a new compulsory payment or re-upload requirement.
---
🚨 Do 2025 UTME Candidates Need to Check?
Yes, candidates from previous UTME years should check their JAMB dashboards.
A candidate who sat for the 2025 UTME, for example, can log in and check whether the Previous Years UTME O’Level Results Verification option is available.
However, candidates should follow the instructions displayed on their individual profiles rather than assuming that every previous-year candidate has exactly the same available services.
