NECO has released the 2025 SSCE results for over 1.3 million candidates. Learn how to check your result, buy tokens, and upload for admission.

The long wait is finally over—NECO has officially released the 2025 SSCE results for candidates across Nigeria. This announcement comes as a huge relief to the over 1.3 million students who sat for the examination earlier this year. With many universities and polytechnics already processing admissions, this development could not have come at a better time.

NECO 2025 Results: Key Highlights

Registrar of NECO, Prof. Ibrahim Wushishi, confirmed the release and clarified that earlier rumours about premature release dates were false. He emphasized that NECO strictly follows its official timetable to ensure credibility and transparency in the examination process.

• Total candidates: 1,367,210
• Examination type: Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE)
• Release date: September 2025
• Mode of access: Online result checking via token purchase

This year’s results play a crucial role for thousands of students who are depending on NECO for their university and polytechnic admissions, especially those who had challenges with WAEC.

Why NECO 2025 Results Matter for Admissions

Every year, the release of the NECO results marks an important milestone for Nigerian students. Here’s why:

• JAMB O’Level Uploads: The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) requires every candidate to upload their O’level results (WAEC or NECO) before admission can be confirmed. Without this, institutions cannot finalize admission offers.
• Alternative to WAEC: Students who missed WAEC exams, faced withheld results, or failed certain subjects can now use NECO to secure their admission slots.
• Tertiary Institution Deadlines: Universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education are already processing admissions, so uploading results promptly is critical.

Common Challenges Students Face

While checking results, some candidates may encounter issues. Here are common challenges and how to address them:

If you continue to face challenges, you can contact NECO support through the details available on the official NECO website.
