Common Problems Students Face After Uploading Their Results
Below are common issues applicants encounter after uploading their results, I’m stating them here so you don’t panic when you come across such:
The result does not appear on CAPS
This may happen because of network issues or wrong upload. Don’t panic so much, just ask the centre to re-upload your results.
Wrong grades uploaded
You may likely encounter this problem if you uploaded incorrect grades.
For example, English or Mathematics showing “F” when the student scored “C.”
So you need to always double-check before leaving the centre.
Wrong exam type
NECO uploaded as WAEC or vice versa.
Uploading at a café
Cafés cannot upload O’level results. They may deceive students just to collect their money.
Not uploading combined results
