Candidates seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions will now pay ₦4,000 only once to verify their West African Senior School Certificate Examination O’Level results, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and the West African Examinations Council have said
The clarification was contained in a joint press statement issued by JAMB and WAEC on Tuesday, following consultations on the recently introduced system allowing candidates to upload and verify their O’Level results remotely.
Under the new arrangement, candidates whose admissions are regulated and coordinated by JAMB are required to verify their WAEC results once through JAMB, after which the outcome will be made available to the tertiary institution where they are seeking admission.
The two examination bodies stressed that candidates would not be required to pay another verification fee to their chosen institutions.
The joint statement said, “Candidates are to pay ₦4,000 only, once, for the verification of their WASSCE O’ Level results on the specified platform and not through their desired institutions.”
JAMB and WAEC further directed tertiary institutions to utilise the verified results transmitted by JAMB for admission screening, processing and other administrative purposes.
According to the statement, “Tertiary institutions are to utilise the verified results shared by JAMB for screening, processing candidate admission and other administrative purposes. Candidates shall not be required to pay for another verification.”
