How to Check Your WAEC or GCE Result Online

Have you just written the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) with your school or as a private (GCE) candidate? Here are two simple ways to check your result online after the West African Examination Council (WAEC) releases it.

How to check your WAEC result on the official website

First off, if you took the exams through your secondary school, they must’ve given you a Smart Identity Card (SIC) beforehand. This SIC contains a result checker PIN and a serial number. With them, you may proceed to the steps outlined below:

Step 1

Visit the official WAEC website on your mobile device or computer.

Step 2

Click on the menu, and select the “Check my result” option. You’ll be redirected to the official WAEC result checker website.

Step 3

Input your 10-digit WAEC examination number. It’s your seven-digit centre number followed by your three-digit candidate number, and you can find this on your SIC. It should look something like this: 4167856799

Step 4

Input the year you took the examination. A drop-down menu will display different years to choose from.

Step 5

Select the type of examination. You’re either a school or GCE candidate.

Step 6

Scratch your SIC to enter the Personal Identification Number (PIN). Then input the voucher serial number.

Step 7

Click “Submit” and wait for the results window to pop up.

Note: If you misplaced your SIC or are a GCE candidate without access to one, you can purchase a WAEC result checker scratch card available online via e-commerce websites like Jumia, Konga, Opay and Quickteller. You can also get a physical copy at bookstores near you.

How to check your WAEC results via SMS

You can also check your WAEC results via SMS on a mobile device.

Step 1

Go to your text messaging app and input 32327 in the recipient box.

Step 2

Input the following information in the dialogue box:

WAEC*ExamNo*PIN*ExamYear

It should look like this:

Waec*4250386090*100055641983*2024

Step 3

Click on send and wait for a return text message containing your result. This option is available to MTN, Airtel and Glo subscribers, subject to a service charge.

If you don’t receive your result, try again or consider logging a complaint with the support team. Send the the exam type, your examination number and year to WAECsupport@fleettechltd.com

This Clip Of Borno Students Struggling To Buy Jamb Forms Will Make You Quite Mad

A good number of things don’t add up in Nigeria. Social systems don’t work and maintenance of physical structures is a myth, but we at least thought we had gotten somewhere with the ease of carrying out transactions over the internet. More than 1.85 million students applied to write the UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Exams) in 2016, but the process remains crude.
This clip from a concerned Twitter user tells its own story

The struggle to buy JAMB form in Maiduguri the Borno state capital.

This short clip is telling a lot of story.

However you view it. pic.twitter.com/aRRBqs7YVG

The people of Borno are still recovering from the horrors of the Boko Haram sect. Why should they go through any of this?

It really doesn’t make sense that the Ministry of Education and JAMB(Joint Administration and Matriculation Board) don’t give top priority to students from the conflict-affected states in the North. For one, these kids have been forced to abandon their studies for years, surely the least we can do for them is make the learning process easier for them?
The process of applying for and getting the JAMB form needs to be a lot easier for students nationwide.

Jamb that one should buy from the comfort of his bed and apply there. Almost 3 decades after others simplified registrations online
— Sir Ruffy (@Sir_Ruffy) March 22, 2017

Is this really how JAMB officers do this thing? Turn form into petrol?

The JAMB officials are the cause. By next week they convert it to black market sale with the guise that it is out of stock. God help us
— Mathias Idi Ahmed (@Abimaty) March 22, 2017

The crudeness of the whole process is just galling.

@muazugarba It's so unfortunate that this is happening in the 21st century Nigeria
— BaShiR (@bsh4z) March 22, 2017

So it’s not only Borno? Exactly how many students are fighting to buy form like this?

I saw the same in Ilorin this afternoon. Can anyone explain why Jamb form is the new PMS?
— oyewole Temitope (@TemiOyewole) March 22, 2017

We’ve forgotten who the Minister for Education is (Do we have one?). But the person should kindly wake up from his or her slumber sometime this year.

This University Student Withdrew From UNILORIN Because He Cheated In His WASSCE Exams

On any given day, you’ll find that University students discontinue their education for varying reasons. However, when a student voluntarily withdraws over something wrong he did in the past, it shows that the strangest things will never stop happening.

The management of University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) couldn’t be more shocked after receiving a letter sent by a student who voluntarily withdrew from the institution because he claimed he cheated during his WASSCE exams.

In the letter addressed to the Deputy Chancellor of Unilorin, the 300-level student of Sociology, Jephthah Abolarin, stated that he only passed his WASSCE through exam and he dud’t want to continur his education on a ‘shaky foundation’.

We know many of you did copy copy in school but we’re not saying anything sha! Can you drop out of school like Brother Jephthah did? Share your thoughts on this interesting gist in the comments section.

The Story Of WAEC And The Processing Fee

The West African Examinations Commissions (WAEC), the major examination body for West African secondary school finalists is currently under fire.
As a result of an anti-corruption crack down on the examination bodies in Nigeria, a financial discrepancy was discovered by the minister of finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun

And while Nigerians were stilll processing that information, these tweets dropped on Twitter.

This NGO requested the list of best student in each state in Nigeria from WAEC for Scholarship. See WAEC's response. pic.twitter.com/ACWLFHRHr5
— aziz (@Backarray) February 22, 2016

It was alleged that an NGO had requested for the shortlist of the best students in the 2014/2015 WAEC examination.

The purpose of the request was to reward the students for doing well and also inspire other students towards excellence in their studies.
However, the second photo in the tweet was the screenshot of the alleged response the NGO received from WAEC.

They were asked to pay a processing fee of 1.85 million Naira before getting access to the short list.
And after speaking with the NGO for confirmation…

To confirm the veracity of this story, I spoke to the CEO of EDUBOX and he confirmed WAEC requested N1.8million from them for processing.
— Abd’Aziz Bakare (@Backarray) February 22, 2016

The CEO also told me he immediately called WAEC to protest the fees and offered a lesser amount but they said it is non-negotiable.
— Abd’Aziz Bakare (@Backarray) February 22, 2016
As expected, the tweet generated massive reactions from Nigerians. They mentioned how convenient it was for WAEC to announce the failure of the candidates at no cost.

https://twitter.com/Seyi__/status/701793945605578752

How they are enemies of progress.

WTH? 1.8M to process so the said students can get a scholarship.

This is how waec will hinder someones progress. https://t.co/9utB390f5b
— Tosin. |toe-sin| (@Bohemian_Monk) February 23, 2016

Some felt the response from WAEC was legit.
