Abuja<\/p>\n
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) have clarified that candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions will pay N4,000 once for verification of their O\u2019Level results.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The two examination bodies made the clarification in a joint statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja, following consultations on the recently introduced policy for verification of West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE\/O\u2019Level) results.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200eThey said candidates whose admissions were regulated and coordinated by JAMB would verify their WAEC results once through JAMB.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200eThey said the outcome of the verification would subsequently be made available to the tertiary institution to which the candidate sought admission.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200eAccording to the statement, candidates are required to pay N4,000 only for the verification service through the specified JAMB platform, and not through their preferred institutions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200eThe bodies said tertiary institutions would utilise the verified results shared by JAMB for screening, admission processing and other administrative purposes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200e\u201cCandidates shall not be required to pay for another verification,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200eThey also disclosed that WAEC had authorised JAMB to share the outcome of the verification exercise with relevant tertiary institutions for the stated purposes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200eThey said the arrangement was designed to ensure that candidates who had successfully verified their WASSCE O\u2019Level results would not be required to repeat the process.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200eAccording to them, the initiative will reduce the stress and costs associated with repeated visits to tertiary institutions or JAMB-approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200eThe bodies said candidates could initiate the verification process from the comfort of their homes or any internet-enabled location.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200eThey therefore encouraged candidates to take advantage of the arrangement by verifying their WASSCE O\u2019Level results through the JAMB-provisioned Verification Service once, noting that the verified result would be utilised by the relevant institution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u200eThey said the collaboration underscored their commitment to putting candidates\u2019 interests first, reducing unnecessary costs and simplifying the admission process while maintaining the integrity and security of candidates\u2019 academic records.\u200e(NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
