E-SERVICES · RESULT CHECKER

Check a result

Enter the examination number printed on the entry slip and the result appears at once — subject by subject, with the aggregate, the credit count and what it qualifies the candidate for. No sign-in, no scratch card, no fee, and no visit to the Secretariat.

Examination number

It looks like BECE/2026/0184/0293 — the series, the year, the four-digit centre number and the four-digit candidate number, exactly as printed on the entry slip.

Case does not matter. The slashes do — type them exactly as printed.

Checking a result is free.

There is no scratch card and no PIN for a Kano State examination. Anyone selling you access to a result — at a business centre, a school gate or online — is defrauding you. Report it on the education hotline 0800 MOE KANO or through the feedback form.

Lost the entry slip?

The head teacher or principal of the school that presented the candidate holds every examination number it entered. Ask the school first. If the school has closed, the Local Government Education Authority for the area holds the entry register, and the Examinations Unit at the Ministry holds it from 2011 onwards.

Enter an examination number on the left, or tap one of the demonstration numbers, and the full result — every subject, the grade, the aggregate and the verdict — is rendered here.

How to read an examination number

Every number carries four parts. Getting one of them wrong is the commonest reason a lookup fails.

01

BECE

The series

BECE, WASSCE, SSCE, CE for Common Entrance or QE for the Qualifying Examination. Written exactly as it appears on the entry slip.

02

2026

The year

The calendar year the paper was written, not the session. A June 2026 BECE in the 2025/2026 session carries 2026.

03

0184

The centre

Four digits identifying the examination centre. Two candidates from the same school share this block.

04

0293

The candidate

Four digits unique to the candidate within that centre for that series. This is the part most often mistyped.

Which results are here

Every series the Ministry administers or coordinates, from the Common Entrance at Primary 6 to the Adult Literacy Certificate.

Questions about results

How long after the last paper is a result released?
Within 45 days for the series the Ministry administers itself — BECE, the Common Entrance, the Qualifying Examination and the Placement Test. WASSCE and NECO results are released by WAEC and NECO on their own timetables, usually 60 to 90 days after the last paper, and appear here as soon as the Ministry receives the centre returns.
My result says "Withheld". What does that mean?
A withheld result is not a failed result. It means the Examinations Unit has an open enquiry touching the candidate or the centre — a seating irregularity, a script that could not be matched, or a centre-wide investigation. The candidate should attend the Examinations Unit at the Ministry with the examination number and a means of identification. Most enquiries are closed within 30 days and the result is then released in full.
A subject is missing from my result.
Either the subject was not entered at registration, or the script was not returned from the centre. The school that presented you holds the entry form showing exactly which subjects were entered; take a copy of it to the Local Government Education Authority, which will raise a script enquiry with the Examinations Unit at no charge.
Can I have a script remarked?
Yes. A remark is applied for within 30 days of release, through the school or at the Examinations Unit, on form MOE/EXM/06. The script is marked afresh by a different examiner against the same scheme. If the mark changes in your favour the fee is refunded; if it does not, the original mark stands and cannot be re-opened.
What is the difference between this statement and the certificate?
This is a statement of result — it carries the same marks and is accepted for admission and for employment while a certificate is being printed. The certificate itself is a security-printed document collected from the school that presented the candidate, usually three to six months after release. A candidate is entitled to one certificate free; a replacement carries a fee.
Do I need a scratch card or a PIN?
No. Kano State examinations have never used a scratch card or a PIN, and checking a result on this page is free and unlimited. Anyone selling access is defrauding you and should be reported.
I sat the examination years ago — is my result here?
Results the Ministry administers are held from 2011 onwards and can be looked up here. Anything earlier is held on paper by the Examinations Unit and is retrieved on written application, which takes up to ten working days.
Someone is offering to change a grade for money.
That is examination malpractice and it is prosecuted. No officer of the Ministry, no head teacher and no invigilator can alter a released mark; marks are held against the examination number and every change is logged against a named officer. Report the offer on the education hotline or through the feedback form, with the name and the date.

Got the result — what next?

A BECE and Qualifying Examination pass places a pupil into SS 1. Five credits including English Language and Mathematics meet the entry standard for a Nigerian university.
