NECO to Conduct 2025 National Common Entrance Exam on June 14
Share

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has scheduled the 2025 National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) for Saturday, June 14, 2025. The exam, designed for Primary 6 pupils seeking admission into Junior Secondary School 1 (JSS1) at Federal Government Unity Colleges across Nigeria, will be held in designated centres nationwide.

NECO stated that the NCEE is open to pupils who completed their primary education during the 2024/2025 academic session. Parents and guardians have been urged to ensure their children are present at the assigned examination venues on the scheduled date.

Candidates for the NCEE are typically between the ages of 10 and 13. They will be tested in Mathematics, English Studies, Quantitative and Verbal Aptitude, General Science, and Social Studies. Successful candidates will gain admission into one of the 110 Unity Colleges for the 2025/2026 academic year. These institutions are managed by the Federal Ministry of Education and are noted for offering quality education with access to qualified teachers and subsidized tuition.

NECO, a national examination body, also administers the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE). In a broader policy shift, the Federal Government announced a transition to full computer-based testing (CBT) for NECO and WAEC exams by mid-2026. The CBT rollout will begin in November 2025 for objective questions, with both objective and essay sections to be fully digitized by May/June 2026.

Meanwhile, the recently concluded 2024 SSCE for external candidates saw a pass rate of 67.35% among 86,067 registered candidates, reflecting ongoing reforms in Nigeria’s examination system.

  • Stanbic IBTC Holdings, a member of Standard Bank Group, reiterated its commitment to equip Nigerians with digital skills that enable them to be competitive in the tech-savvy industry and advance in their careers. The Group’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Demola Sogunle, recently stated that DiSEP was a programme designed to provide Nigerian youths with digital skills training that would improve their abilities and broaden their digital scope, giving them an edge in the job market. In his remarks, Dr. Sogunle noted that Stanbic IBTC's digital talent initiative had enabled young Nigerians to build and develop required tech skills. He added that the programme targeted the scarcity of tech skills within the ecosystem. “The DiSEP initiative was designed to enable young tech talents easily acquire top-notch digital skills required to compete in an ever-evolving tech world. The online intensive programme was designed to train Nigerian youths in basic computer literacy programmes, software development and other digital skills to build their capabilities and broaden their digital scope, which would give them an edge in the skilled labour market,” Demola said. “Asides making the youths employable, DiSEP encourages young people who are resourceful, hardworking and passionate to develop the required skills to fast track their career growth. We are happy to host another set of young Nigerians through the DiSEP 2.0 programme and we are confident that they are going to make us proud.” He noted that the end-to-end financial institution spearheaded the digital revolution in the tech sector through facilitating educational courses, capacity-building initiatives, and skills acquisition programmes. In the same vein, Funke Amobi, Country Head, People and Culture, Stanbic IBTC, said that to fully embed the needed digital skills in the programme participants, Stanbic IBTC partnered with tech experts to train eligible candidates, build their digital capabilities, and broaden their ICT knowledge scope to make them fit for hire as Stanbic IBTC digital talents and be globally competitive. Amobi stressed that the organisation would continue to strive in the digital space not only by advancing the technology sector but by also training the needed human capital to drive the industry. “The programmes involve training and reviews after which top students will be placed on the merit list of employment into Stanbic IBTC. Other graduates will be released back to the job market to enrich the market with their digital skills as part of the financial institution’s CSI initiatives. This plan will amplify Stanbic IBTC’s contributions to enhancing digital skills in the Nigerian market,” Amobi said. According to her, training and certifications offered under the DiSEP programme cut across Cyber Security, Cloud Engineering, C# NetCore, DevOps, and Java Spring Booth. Stanbic IBTC said it remained committed to effectively equipping Nigerians with digital skills to make them innovators for a better future.
