The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially released the results of the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates.
The examination body announced the release on Wednesday via its official X handle, urging candidates to generate their Personal Identification Number (PIN) before checking their results.
According to WAEC, 1,200,514 candidates, representing 61.54 per cent of the 1,950,726 candidates who sat for the examination, obtained credits in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.
Candidates can access their results by first generating a PIN and serial number on the WAEC portal before proceeding to the result-checking platform. The process requires candidates to provide their examination number, National Identification Number (NIN) used during registration, and contact details for OTP verification.
Approximately 1.96 million candidates from more than 24,200 secondary schools across Nigeria participated in the examination, which was conducted between April 21 and June 19, 2026.
While the majority of candidates wrote the examination using the traditional pen-and-paper format, WAEC noted that a significantly higher number of schools adopted the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) option compared to previous years.
The council had earlier indicated that the results would be released about 45 days after the conclusion of the examination.
The latest release comes months after WAEC published the results of the 2026 First Series Computer-Based WASSCE for Private Candidates.
