Today, you can easily learn how to upload your WAEC result on the JAMB portal using your phone by yourself if you know exactly what to do.
This quick guide has everything spelled out to you each step of the way. We will demonstrate to you how to scan your result, log into the JAMB portal, and upload your result without getting out of your room.
Can You Really Upload WAEC Results Using Your Phone?
Yes, you can, and you do not have to be a tech expert to do so.
The JAMB e-facility portal is now mobile-friendly. This suggests that you may visit the website, log in, and upload your WAEC results to your iPhone or Android device.
There is one need, though: your email and JAMB account must have been linked before. The upload button won’t appear unless you have done this. Visit a CBT facility just once to do this if you did not associate an email during registration. You won’t need them again after you have them.
