Jamb advised it's Candidate to re-upload their O' level result

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board
( JAMB ) says it will close the Direct Entry e-
Registration portal on Sept.15.
Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Head of Media and
Information of the board, said this in an
interview with the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) in Abuja on Friday.
Benjamin advised candidates yet to register to
do so before the deadline, saying that there
might be no postponement of the deadline.
He also advised JAMB candidates to re-upload
their ‘O’ level results in the new portal as the
previous portal did not allow for the capturing
of candidates level of grades.
He also said that candidates should use the
approved Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres
for the exercise.
According to him, the new portal has provided
a platform for the detailed category of the
West African Examination Result ( WAEC ) of
candidates for proper placement.
“The first platform that was used for the
exercise does not create room for the
capturing of the levels of grade such as C4,
C5, C6, B1, B2, B3 and A1.
“ You know in some schools, all these ‘O’ level
grades are being considered.
“For example, if you have B1 and another one
has B3 and there is no room for separation in
the platform schools may not be able to
ascertain the level of grades some schools will
consider the O’ level grades.
“And the first platform just stated A, B, C, so
with this new platform, there will be room for
the download of the level of grades. Somebody
who has B1 will stand a better chance than the
person with B3.
“So, we use this new platform to capture all
those detailed categories of WAEC result so
that no grade of result will be left uploaded.’’
Benjamin, however, said that any candidate
who felt that what he or she uploaded before
was enough might not bother.
