DE Applicants: How Long Does It Take JAMB To Verify A’Level Results?

1.7K

As we all know, JAMB introduced a new policy called “No Verification, No Admission.” This policy simply means that as a DE applicant, your A’Level results (JUPEB, IJMB, or NABTEB) must pass through verification before you can be eligible to process your direct entry admission into your desired institution.

For you to be eligible to process your admission as a DE applicant, two things must be done, which include;

1. JAMB must verify your A’Level results.
2. Your NIPED status must show verified.

If these 2 steps aren’t complete, you can’t process your DE admission. So for this article, I will be focusing on number 1, which is JAMB verifying your A’Level results. Specifically, I will be answering the question most Direct Entry (DE) applicants ask, which is “How Long Does It Take JAMB to Verify A’Level Results?”.

DE applicants are to upload their A’Level results on their JAMB caps and wait patiently for it to be verified. I am sure that you must have uploaded yours but am wondering how long the process will take. Just relax because I will be answering that question later on in this article and will also give you possible reasons why yours might be taking time.

But before we proceed, I will like to give you a brief explanation of how this A’Level verification process works so you can have an understanding of what will later be discussed in this article. Sounds interesting, right? Let’s proceed.

How Does The A’Level Results Verification Process For DE Applicants Work?

In order for you to be eligible for Direct Entry admission as a DE applicant, JAMB needs to independently verify your results by contacting your awarding institution. And one of the places you can monitor this process from NIPED status in your JAMB caps. There you can see if your results have been verified or not.

Why Does JAMB Need To Verify My A’Level Results As A DE Applicant?

JAMB needs to verify your results to check its authenticity. In other words, JAMB needs to check if your results are original before making you eligible to process your DE admission. Now how long will this process take? Let’s answer that question.

How Long Does It Take JAMB To Verify A’Level Results?

According to JAMB, it takes just 5 minutes for this verification to be completed. Meaning that once your A’Level result is uploaded, it takes JAMB 5 minutes to check the authenticity of your results. Now two (2) questions might come to our mind, the first one is

Since JAMB said the process should take only 5 minutes, why haven’t they verified my A’Level?

If yours hasn’t been verified, there is a high probability that it’s a result of the following reasons below.

1 Fake A LEVEL Results

Like I said earlier, JAMB clearly stated that they would only accept results that are original. So if yours is fake, do not bother because it won’t get verified.

2 Failure To Upload O’Level Results

This might also contribute to that because O’Level results are one of the important documents all DE students need to upload on their JAMB caps. And we can’t tell; JAMB might also be using it to verify your A’Level results, and it might also be one of the criteria for your results to be verified.

3 Uploaded A’Level results not clear

If the uploaded A’Level result is not clear, how do you expect JAMB to verify such? It will surely give them time to verify yours, and this will definitely cause a delay. So if the one you uploaded is not clear, do the needful by reuploading a result that’s more clear. Now the second question you might ask is

Since it takes only 5 minutes for JAMB to verify A’Level results, why hasn’t my NIPED status changed to verified yet?

Your NIPED status will only show verified once JAMB has contacted your awarding institution and your awarding institution also has verified it.

How Do I Know If JAMB Has Verified My A’Level Results?

Once JAMB has contacted your awarding institution concerning your A’level result, they will have to verify it. If it has been verified, JAMB will send you a message saying that “your institution has verified your results.”.
