National Examinations Council (NECO) Timetable for 2021 June/July Examination (SSCE)

We are pleased to announce to all the candidates that are attempting the National Examinations Council (NECO) June/July SENIOR SCHOOL CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION (INTERNAL) that the examination timetable is out.

The NECO 2021 timetable is the most valuable asset for all the candidates preparing for the June/July SSCE. It allows candidates to know exactly when a specific subject is scheduled.

In making this decision, the Board noted that due to these security challenges:

1. Some state governments imposed curfew and closed schools in order to safeguard lives and property;
2. In the circumstances, it has become difficult for the Council to move examination materials across the country;
3. Students in the affected locations were unable to sit for the papers already scheduled in the examination time table.

The Governing Board further resolved, that when normalcy returns, the Council will continue with the conduct of the examinations in all States.

While regretting any inconveniences this postponement may cause our esteemed stakeholders, the Council has however taken this decision in order to maintain the integrity and security of its examination procedures for seamless conduct of the Council’s examination.
