The National Examination Council of Nigeria, NECO has announced the launch of their new portal for registration and result checking of their examination.
Candidates can now register for their NECO Examinations and check their results online without the use of a scratch card.
The scratch card was introduced as a means of registering for exams and also for result checking purposes.
Obtaining the scratch card over the years has stirred up certain issues, like the sale of cards at exorbitant prices by unapproved centers; the delay in candidates’ results, and many more.
With the introduction of this new platform, NECO has ensured strict compliance with TSA as well as protecting Candidates from being extorted when they have to go to a cyber café, to either register for an exam or check their results.
This payment option also helps NECO in saving the cost incurred as a result of the production of millions of scratch cards, yearly.
The online payment feature on the website has some payment options, including card payment, account transfer online or at the bank premise using the generated Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR).
According to the National Examinations Council (NECO), the new Results online system offers a convenient way to check all NECO examination results. Once results are released, they will be made available via the NECO Results system (www.result.neco.gov.ng).
Using NECO Results, candidates can check their SSCE, BECE, and NCEE results by purchasing tokens. The token(s) can be shared with candidates, parents, schools, organizations, or any person who wished to view the candidate’s results.
NECO Results enable users to carry out other activities also, these include:

Schools (centers) are to register their candidates using the offline application before logging online to the NECO registration portal www.neco.gov.ng to effect payment of registration and other mandatory fees before uploading the candidates’ data.
OFFLINE REGISTRATION
Schools are to uninstall the previous SSCE offline application from their computer systems and install the 2022 SSCE offline application. Schools are to make all entries of their candidates’ bio-data and biometric data completely offline, using the 2022 SSCE offline registration application supplied in a recordable CD/DVD along with these registration guidelines.
