The National Examinations Council (NECO) has issued a clear statement regarding the registration process for the 2024 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) for school-based candidates, emphasizing that there will be no extension granted for the registration deadline. The registration period commenced on December 18, 2023, and is scheduled to conclude on June 3, 2024. It's imperative for candidates, school principals, commandants, state ministries of education, and other stakeholders to adhere strictly to this deadline.
Late registration will be permitted from June 4 to June 10, 2024, albeit with the imposition of a late registration fee. NECO urges all concerned parties to disregard any misinformation circulating on social media platforms, particularly claims suggesting an extension of the registration period beyond June 3rd.
Furthermore, the statement outlines the examination schedule, confirming that the 2024 SSCE Internal is slated to commence on June 19th and conclude on July 26th, 2024. During this period, candidates will undergo assessment in a comprehensive range of 76 subjects.
This clarification underscores the importance of timely registration and adherence to the prescribed deadlines for all involved in the examination process. Such clarity from NECO aims to ensure smooth and efficient administration of the SSCE, ultimately benefiting the candidates and stakeholders alike.
