Funding normally lasts between 12 and 42 months, depending on the programme.

2026 WASSCE Results: How to Check Your WAEC Result and What to Do If It Is Withheld

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the 2026 WASSCE results for School Candidates, with 61.54% of candidates obtaining credits in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.A total of 1,950,726 candidates sat for the examination, while 1,200,514 candidates obtained five credits and above, including English Language and Mathematics. These figures were also announced by WAEC when the results were released on 5 August 2026.However, not every candidate has been able to access a complete result.WAEC says:<ul><li>1,834,695 candidates (94.05%) had their results fully processed and released;</li><li>116,031 candidates (5.95%) still had one or more subjects being processed; and</li><li>167,486 candidates (8.59%) had their results withheld in connection with reported cases of examination malpractice.</li></ul>The 167,486 withheld results are not the same as the 116,031 results still being processed.<h2>How to check your 2026 WAEC result</h2>Candidates can check their results through the official WAEC Direct Result Checker.Check your result here: <a href="https://www.waecdirect.org/">https://www.waecdirect.org/</a>WAEC Direct requires candidates to provide:<ol><li>their 10-digit WAEC examination number;</li><li>examination year — 2026;</li><li>examination type;</li><li>e-PIN voucher number; and</li><li>result-checker PIN.</li></ol>WAEC announced that candidates can obtain the necessary PIN through its official website and then use WAEC Direct to access their results.<h2>What does “result withheld” mean?</h2>A withheld result means WAEC has linked the candidate or examination centre to a reported examination-malpractice case that requires further consideration.It does not automatically mean that the candidate's result has already been permanently cancelled.WAEC has created an official portal where affected candidates can check the reason given for withholding their results and, where applicable, submit a representation for the Council's consideration.<h2>What to do if your WAEC result is withheld</h2>Do not pay anyone who claims that they can “release”, “upgrade” or change a withheld WAEC result.Instead, use the official WAEC Notice of Examination Malpractice Portal:Check a withheld result / submit a representation: <a href="https://waecinternational.org/complaints">https://waecinternational.org/complaints</a>Enter your 2026 WASSCE examination number to check whether WAEC has placed a malpractice notice against your result.WAEC also provides a separate section of the portal for school principals or representatives whose candidates' results have been withheld.<h2>Check the portal again after four weeks</h2>WAEC specifically advises candidates with examination-malpractice notices to check the complaints portal again four weeks after the release of the results for updates and information concerning their representation.Since the 2026 results were released on 5 August 2026, affected candidates should continue monitoring the official portal rather than relying on information circulating on WhatsApp or social media.<h2>What if your result says it is still being processed?</h2>This is different from a withheld result.WAEC reported that the results of 116,031 candidates, representing about 5.95% of those who sat for the examination, still had one or more subjects being processed when the results were released.Candidates in this category should continue checking the official result portal for updates.A result that is still being processed should not automatically be treated as a malpractice case.<h2>What about candidates whose states owe WAEC?</h2>There is another separate category.WAEC said results of candidates sponsored by states indebted to the Council would not be released until the outstanding debts were settled. The Council did not publicly name the affected states in its announcement.Therefore, an inaccessible result does not necessarily mean that the candidate has been accused of malpractice.<h2>2026 WASSCE performance at a glance</h2>Of the 1,950,726 candidates who sat for the examination:<ul><li>1,687,378 (86.50%) obtained at least five credits with or without English Language and Mathematics;</li><li>1,200,514 (61.54%) obtained at least five credits including English Language and Mathematics;</li><li>167,486 (8.59%) had results withheld over reported examination-malpractice cases; and</li><li>116,031 (5.95%) had one or more results still being processed.</li></ul>The proportion obtaining five credits including English and Mathematics was 1.42 percentage points lower than in 2025.<h2>Avoid WAEC result scams</h2>Candidates and parents should be particularly careful at this time.Nobody outside WAEC can legitimately:<ul><li>release a withheld result for payment;</li><li>change a candidate's grade;</li><li>remove a malpractice case;</li><li>“upgrade” a WAEC result; or</li><li>guarantee that a withheld result will eventually be released.</li></ul>Use only official WAEC portals and communications from your school.

2026/2027 Post-UTME and JAMB CAPS Tracker: Forms, Results and Admission Updates

JAMB has set the minimum tolerable UTME score at 150 for universities and Colleges of Nursing, while polytechnics, monotechnics, Colleges of Agriculture, Colleges of Education and Innovation Enterprise Institutions have a national minimum of 100. Individual institutions are free to set higher cut-off marks.<h2>Current Post-UTME and admission tracker</h2><table><thead><tr><th>Institution</th><th>Current status</th><th>Important information</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>FUOYE</td><td>Screening portal reopened; screening underway</td><td>Course cut-offs start from 150; Medicine 280, Nursing 240, Pharmacy 230 and several other programmes have higher cut-offs. FUOYE says Law will not admit students for 2026/2027.</td></tr><tr><td>UNILAG</td><td>Post-UTME completed; results released</td><td>Candidates can now check their Post-UTME results. O'Level results must be uploaded on both JAMB CAPS and the UNILAG portal by 14 August 2026 to be considered for admission.</td></tr><tr><td>LASU</td><td>Screening/admission processing ongoing</td><td>LASU's official screening portal is active. UTME candidates need at least 195, must choose LASU as first choice and upload their O'Level result to JAMB CAPS. Admissions are also being uploaded in batches.</td></tr><tr><td>Federal University Lokoja</td><td>Post-UTME open</td><td>Minimum UTME score is 160. The University's published admission timetable gives 13 September 2026 as the closing date for Post-UTME registration and screening.</td></tr><tr><td>YABATECH</td><td>Application portal currently available</td><td>Minimum UTME score is 160 for full-time ND and B.Sc. Education applicants. The original notice stated that registration would run for four weeks from 1 July, but the official application portal currently still describes the application as open. Applicants should act immediately and confirm status before payment.</td></tr></tbody></table>This tracker will be updated as universities release new deadlines, screening results and admission lists.<h2>JAMB CAPS: what every candidate should do</h2>Getting a good Post-UTME score does not mean the admission process is finished.JAMB requires admissions to be processed through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). CAPS allows candidates to monitor their admission status and respond to provisional admission offers.Candidates should therefore:<ol><li>Ensure their O'Level result has been uploaded to JAMB.</li><li>Log in regularly to the JAMB e-Facility/CAPS.</li><li>Open Admission Status to see whether an offer has been made.</li><li>Accept or reject an admission offer when it appears.</li><li>Continue monitoring the university portal for acceptance-fee, clearance and registration instructions.</li></ol>Candidates using awaiting results must upload the final O'Level result before their institution processes their admission. JAMB's CAPS guidance specifically states that candidates with awaiting results must upload them before they can be considered for admission.<h2>What “Admission in Progress” means</h2>If CAPS displays Admission in Progress, it generally means the candidate's admission is still moving through the approval process.Do not panic and do not pay anyone who claims they can “upgrade” or release the admission.Continue checking CAPS and the institution's official admission portal.<h2>What if CAPS says “Not Admitted”?</h2>“Not Admitted” does not always mean the admission exercise is over.Institutions may process admissions in batches. A candidate who has not yet received an offer should continue checking until the institution announces that its admission exercise has ended.LASU, for example, is currently uploading its 2026/2027 admissions in batches.<h2>Don't forget your O'Level upload</h2>This is one of the easiest ways for an otherwise qualified candidate to lose an admission opportunity.UNILAG has specifically warned its 2026/2027 candidates that anyone who fails to upload an O'Level result to both JAMB CAPS and the UNILAG portal by 14 August 2026 will not be considered for admission.Federal University Lokoja similarly requires applicants to upload their O'Level results to JAMB before they can complete screening.<h2>Important official portals</h2>Candidates should use:<ul><li>the official JAMB e-Facility for admission-status and CAPS access;</li><li>the official JAMB CAPS information page for CAPS guidance;</li><li>and the official admission or Post-UTME portal of the institution they applied to.</li></ul>Avoid Post-UTME registration links sent by unknown social-media accounts. Confirm the web address from the university or polytechnic's main website before making payment.<h2>A note for candidates changing institution or course</h2>Some candidates may need to change institution or course where they no longer meet the cut-off mark or where their programme is unavailable.For example, FUOYE has announced that it will not admit candidates into Law for 2026/2027 and is advising affected applicants to move to other available programmes.JAMB provides an official Change of Course/Institution service through its portal. Available alternatives depend on programme and institutional availability.<h2>Keep checking this page</h2>Post-UTME deadlines and admission lists change quickly. A portal that is closed today may be reopened, while an institution still screening candidates may begin uploading admissions to CAPS without much notice.
