Can NECO & WAEC Results Be Combined For Admission?

Is NECO and WAEC to be combined for admission for the 2022/2023 academic session?

Regarding O’ level exams, not everyone is lucky enough to pass in just one sitting. This is why most students register for NECO right after writing WAEC.

Well, you are not a dullard. It happens, and you can still gain admission by combining your results.

Can NECO and WAEC Be Combined For Admission in Nigeria

You can combine WAEC and NECO results to gain admission in Nigeria. Some educational institutions accept two sittings, which makes people who want to use two very lucky.

We may agree that most universities accept the combination of NECO and WAEC results, but it’s sometimes limited to some courses or departments.

If you are going for competitive courses like medicine and surgery, law, pharmacy, dentistry, etc., you will likely not be admitted when you combine O’ level results.

If your WAEC result is good and NECO isn’t too good, use the WASSCE result to apply for admission instead of thinking about combining the two.
