The University of Uyo (UNIUYO) has issued an important directive to all candidates who applied for admission into the institution for the 2025/2026 academic session. In a new notice released by the school’s management, candidates are mandated to re-upload their O’Level results on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) portal before the set deadline.
This directive affects both UTME and Direct Entry candidates who chose UNIUYO as their first choice institution. The development follows a decision by the Central Admissions Committee (CAC) of the University and an update from JAMB regarding technical issues on its system that affected previously uploaded WAEC results.
Why UNIUYO is Directing Candidates to Re-upload O’Level Results
According to the Registrar of the University, Mrs. Blossom E. Okorie, the new instruction became necessary because:
- JAMB experienced a system glitch that wiped off previously uploaded WAEC O’Level results from candidates’ profiles.
- Many candidates were discovered not to have uploaded their O’Level results at all, despite being eligible for admission consideration.
- The University has already approved programme cut-off marks for the 2025/2026 admission process, and the absence of O’Level results in candidates’ JAMB CAPS profile could jeopardize their admission chances.
Who is Affected by This Directive?
This directive applies to:
- UTME candidates who selected UNIUYO as their first choice.
- Direct Entry candidates seeking admission into UNIUYO for the 2025/2026 session.
- Candidates who had earlier uploaded their O’Level results but may have been affected by the JAMB portal glitch.
Deadline for UNIUYO O’Level Result Re-upload
The University has made it clear that all candidates must comply with this instruction on or before Friday, October 3, 2025. Failure to meet the deadline may disqualify candidates from the 2025/2026 admission process.
How to Re-upload O’Level Results on JAMB Portal
To successfully re-upload your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB O’Level results, follow these steps:
- Visit any JAMB-accredited CBT centre near you.
- Provide your JAMB registration number.
- Submit a copy of your O’Level result (WAEC, NECO, or equivalent).
- Ensure the results are scanned and uploaded correctly on the JAMB CAPS portal.
- Request for proof of re-upload (acknowledgement slip or printout).
Importance of Re-uploading O’Level Results on JAMB CAPS
Re-uploading your result is very crucial for the following reasons:
- It ensures that your admission eligibility can be properly assessed.
- UNIUYO cannot process or recommend your name to JAMB for admission if your O’Level results are missing.
- It guarantees that your subject combination matches the requirements for your chosen course.
- Candidates without O’Level uploads risk being automatically disqualified during JAMB’s final admission approval.
Consequences of Not Re-uploading O’Level Results
Candidates who fail to comply with this directive risk:
- Being excluded from the 2025/2026 admission shortlist.
- Losing admission chances even if they meet the required cut-off marks.
- Not being considered during JAMB CAPS admission processing.
