NECO is an acronym for National Examination Council. This is an examination body in Nigeria that conducts the Senior Secondary Certificate Exam. They are responsible for organizing and ensuring the success of regular senior secondary level tests in Nigeria.

NECO takes exclusive responsibility for managing the SSCE of school candidates in Nigeria. Just as much as WAEC does for the SSCE exams for West African countries.

The first NECO exam was taken in 2000.

What exams does NECO conduct?

• NECO June/July specifically for internal or school candidates.
• NECO Nov/Dec specifically for private candidates. 
• Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) is specifically for third-year students of Junior Secondary School.
• National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) is specifically for students in their 6th year of basic education. 

How can I register for NECO with ease?

Visit the nearest internet café to register for NECO Nov/Dec (External). Cafés can register it easily for you. They can also give you all the necessary details and modalities to register.

To register for NECO BECE, visit your school of interest and ask for their procedures. Procedures may vary from one school to the other.

Visit your school of interest and ask for their registration procedures for the NECO Common Entrance (NCEE). Procedures may vary from one school to the other.

What are the various steps to check my NECO results?

Here are the respective result-checking pages for BECE and NCEE.

How much is NECO June/July or Nov/Dec registration 2023?

There’s no flat rate for NECO June/July among schools.

Some schools put in much, and others add less at the official price or based on the price charged by the test panel.

Consider visiting some schools to compare their fees.

In the case of NECO GCE (November / December), you can see the official price on the NECO website, www.mynecoexams.com. Be prepared to pay the cafeteria service fee plus the form price.

How can I apply for the correction of names in NECO 2023?

If there are spelling errors while registering at NECO, please kindly write the NECO Branch office of the state of exams through the principal (in the case of internal students – NECO June / July)

If you are a private candidate (NECO GCE – November/December), write and take a letter to the NECO State branch in person with a court affidavit.

When is the estimated Closing Date for NECO registration?

First, keep in mind that although NECO can announce a specific closing date, schools do not wait until this date before they finish accepting candidate applications.

Therefore, contact your school of interest to know their closing dates.

In the case of GCE NECO (November/December), the closing date on their website should be taken seriously.

How possible can I get the NECO timetable?

The NECO internal schedule must be requested from the school examination official.

NECO applicants in November/December must have their schedule accompanied by their photo test card to be delivered to the cafe you register at.

NECO Nov/Dec applicants should have their timetable accompanied by their exams photocard. This should be given to you by the caférian.

You can also check the NECO external page for the current year’s timetable update.

Can I combine two NECO results for admission?

Yes, you can combine two different NECO results for admission. You can also combine NECO June/July with NECO Nov/Dec.

Also, note that all schools accept this combination for any course whatsoever.

Meanwhile, some courses like Pharmacy, Medicine, Nursing, etc., require just one sitting. In that case, you can’t combine results.

Can I combine a NECO result with a WAEC Result?

Yes, you can.

Almost all schools accept this combination.

Meanwhile, some courses may not even allow two sittings e.g Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy.

In such cases, It is difficult to combine results.

Can I make use of a NECO awaiting results for admission?

Yes, you can use a NECO awaiting results for admission, provided that such results will be released before your proposed university, polytechnic, or college starts admission processes for the admission year.

Can I use NECO results outside Nigeria?

Yes, you can because most foreign schools now accept NECO admissions results.

All you need to do is to contact the school of your choice to know if the school recognizes or accepts the certificate.

Can I check my NECO result without a scratch card or checker?

No, you can’t.

Currently, it is impossible to check your NECO result for FREE.

All candidates must buy a checking card (usually called a checker) to check on the NECO result by checking the website. Or try using the token method.

Where can I purchase a NECO scratch card, and how much?

You can purchase a checker at the nearest NECO office for #300.

You can also visit any available internet café nearby to buy the card but at a higher price.

Also, know that if you’re to use a token, the official price is N500, excluding the online transaction or Remita charge.

How many times can I use a NECO checker for a result?

You can use the NECO checker for results up to five (5) times.

You can also check a single result with the same card on 5 different occasions. The same thing happens to the use of the token method.

Also, note that using one card/token for two results is impossible.
