Expected Date For NECO Result To Be Released 2024

I know many candidates who took the NECO examination will be eager to know when the results will be out. This is not uncommon especially when they have written the last paper of the exam. To know when exactly the result will be released, you have to count from when the exam ended on the timetable.

Update: The results have been released on the 19th of September 2024, exactly 55 days after the last paper.

NECO registrar said that the NECO SSCE results will be made public within three months after the exercise,” he added. For NECO SSCE, it will be available 45 days following the last paper.

Unlike WAEC who over 3 years known for releasing their result 45 days after the last paper, NECO just made a public announcement this year as to when the result will be out. However, on average it does take more than 2 months after the last paper before the examination result will be out. From the information I gathered from past years, NECO results do come out within 90 days. However, the current registrar is making an effort to reduce it to 43 days. So far, it has not been achieved.

The registrar of the National Examination Council has made a public statement that candidates should expect their results 45 days after the last paper. According to the timetable, the last paper was on the 26th of July 2024.

If we go by what Prof. Wushishi said, the result will be released on the 9th of September 2024. However, the 2022 results came out exactly 47 days after the last paper and the 2023 results came out 60 days after the last paper. So, this year’s result will likely come out between 45 to 70 days after the last paper. We can now see that the 45-day announcement made by the registrar didn’t come to reality. But candidates should expect the result between the 9th – 30th of September.

NECO marking commenced on 20th August and it is expected to end on the 8th September 2024. This means the council will need approximately 2-3 weeks to process all the marked scripts. With this, I will assume the result should come out towards the end of September without a precise date.

Normally, candidates should expect NECO results to come out within 60 – 70 days after the last paper. For example, the 2021 NECO examination ended on 16th August 2021 and the result came out on 29th October 2021. If my calculation is correct, the result came out 74 days ( 2 months and 14 days) after the last paper. This implies that candidates should start waiting for their results 2 months and a few days after the last paper.

We promised that once NECO is out, this is one of the places you will first hear about the release. Also, kindly note that there is no official backing as to the release date. The inference was made based on my calculations and the duration it does take from the time past.
