How to check NECO results in Nigeria

The word ‘NECO’ is familiar to every Nigerian that has passed through the country educational system. This is the country’s examination body which conducts examinations at different levels of the system. The National Examinations Council (NECO) was founded 20 years ago and quite similar to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).

The educational system of Nigeria consists of four levels. We have six years of basic education, three years of junior secondary education, another three years of senior secondary education, and the tertiary education which is usually between four to six years depending on the discipline.

The National Examinations Council conducts three examinations annually for the basic, junior, and senior education levels.

These examinations are;

Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE)

This examination is divided into two parts. The internal examination for students of a particular school, which usually takes place around June/July. And the external examination for candidates who aren’t students of a given school. This one takes place around December/January. This examination is conducted by the Federal Government.

Junior Secondary Certificate Examination (JSCE)

This is for students in the 3rd year of their junior secondary education. It’s the final examination before they go into the senior secondary education. The examination is usually conducted by the state government.

National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE)

The examination is for students in the 6th year of their basic education. This is an entrance examination of the junior secondary education level.
