The National Examinations Council (NECO) has issued a statement clarifying the age limit for candidates sitting for its examinations, including the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) and other related tests. This clarification comes as part of NECO’s ongoing efforts to ensure fairness and transparency in the examination process.
According to the updated guidelines, candidates must be within a specific age range to be eligible for the NECO exams. While the exact age limits were not disclosed, NECO emphasized the importance of ensuring that students meet the age requirements to maintain the integrity of the examination process.
- Age Limit: NECO has set an upper and lower age limit for candidates, with the focus being on students who are in their final year of secondary school. Students must be of a certain age to sit for the SSCE and other exams.
- Clearance Requirements: NECO has stressed the importance of submitting birth certificates or other official documents as proof of age. This will help avoid discrepancies and ensure that all candidates comply with the age policy.
- Impact on Exemptions: Candidates who do not meet the age requirement will not be allowed to sit for the examinations. NECO has stated that any exceptions to this rule will be subject to a thorough review.
This clarification aims to streamline the registration process and ensure a smooth and equitable examination for all candidates.
