News Official statement New plan
  • JAMB and WAEC introduced a one-time N4,000 fee for verifying WASSCE results during admissions to Nigerian tertiary institutions.
  • Candidates regulated by JAMB can complete the process online, and institutions must use the verified result without charging another verification fee.
  • The arrangement aims to reduce repeated payments while supporting screening and admission processing.

Candidates applying to Nigerian tertiary institutions will pay N4,000 once to verify their West African Senior School Certificate Examination results under a new arrangement between JAMB and WAEC.

Applicants whose admissions fall under JAMB will use a verification platform provided by the admissions body. Once verified, the result will be made available to the institution where the candidate is seeking admission, as well as other relevant institutions.

This collaboration underscores the commitment of both JAMB and WAEC to putting the interests of candidates first, reducing unnecessary costs and simplifying the admission process while maintaining the integrity and security of candidates’ academic records.

— JAMB and WAECThe examination and admissions bodies explained the purpose of their joint verification arrangement.

The examination and admissions bodies said candidates can begin the process from home or anywhere with internet access. They urged applicants to complete the verification once rather than paying separate fees to individual institutions.

Candidates are to pay N4,000 only, once, for the verification of their WASSCE O’ Level results on the specified platform and not through their desired institutions.

The joint statement said tertiary institutions may use the verified results for screening, admission processing and other administrative purposes. Institutions are not permitted to demand another verification payment from candidates whose results have already been processed through the JAMB platform.
