How to Combine WAEC and NECO Results for Admission
Didn’t get all your required subjects in one sitting? Don’t worry — combining your WAEC and NECO results is a valid and accepted option for gaining admission into most Nigerian universities and polytechnics.
In this post, you’ll learn exactly how to combine these results and make your application process smooth.
Can You Combine WAEC and NECO Results?
Yes! Nigerian tertiary institutions allow students to combine results from two sittings, including:
- WAEC + NECO
- WAEC + WAEC
- NECO + NECO
This is especially helpful if you have credit in some subjects in one exam and not in the other.
Step-by-Step Guide to Combining WAEC and NECO Results
1. Get Original Result Slips
- Obtain your official WAEC and NECO result printouts from either the exam body’s website or your school.
- You’ll need both results during registration.
2. Verify Subjects and Grades
- Ensure that when combined, you have at least 5 credit passes in the required subjects (including English and Mathematics) for your chosen course.
3. Use During Post-UTME or Screening
- When filling your application form (like during JAMB registration or post-UTME), select "Two Sittings".
- Input the grades for both results appropriately in the spaces provided.
4. Provide Copies at Admission Stage
- During physical screening, present the original or certified copies of both results.
- The institution will verify and accept the best subjects from both results.
Important Things to Note
- Some competitive courses (like Medicine, Law, etc.) prefer one sitting. Check your school’s requirement.
- Ensure your names and details match across both results.
- Private universities and most polytechnics are usually flexible with two sittings.
