There are more than one ways to do this and we will show you some here.For those who live, or have maybe relocated, far away from where they used to study, going back to your former school to check your results is not necessary with ongoing hi-tech progression. With a little help, they can easily view your NECO results online at any time and without going through a major hassle.
Every year, NECO usually announce their release of NECO exam results, and when exactly should students start checking how they performed, as well.
So if you sat for your NECO exam, and you really want to know how you performed; then here are the step by step guidelines on how it’s done:
Before anything else, you have to buy NECO results checker if you don’t have one. This checker can actually be purchased from any NECO office in Nigeria. The card will come with a PIN which can only be used to check exam results to a maximum of 5 times. With this pin, you can either check your results through a mobile phone or online using NECO websites.
Checking the NECO Exam results using a mobile phone…
Step 1
To check the results using your mobile phone, simply draft a text-message in the format shown below:
NECO: Exam no: Exam Year: Exam type: Pin
For example:
NECO:56768798AB:2014:jun/jul:12345678
NECO:12345678AB:2015:NCE:12345678
Please note; (one) the above format should be followed correctly; otherwise, your NECO results will not be sent; (two) the message has no spacing. The entire message should look like one word–take note of that. And lastly, be sure to check if the entire message contains all the 5 fragments: NECO, Exam No, Exam Year, Exam Type, and Pin.
Step 2
After drafting the text as specified, you can now send it to 32327. This short code is standard for all networks: MTN, Airtel or Glo. After sending the text, you can wait for NECO to deliver the EXAM results via a text message. Usually, NECO results are delivered in less than 5 minutes, unless there’s congestion or many people are actually using the service.
This message will actually cost you N30 regardless of the network you use.
