Here at Campus Times Nigeria, We are determined to assist in providing useful and important contents on WAEC or NECO cancelled result problem. This will help our students solve their academic issues, in order to progress in their respective future ambitions and careers.
You can read this post to learn how to solve WAEC or NECO cancelled result problem.
It can be really frustrating to see your WAEC or NECO results being withheld or canceled due to one reason or the other. Not even when you are planning to process your admission using the same results.
There are several explanations for your WAEC or NECO cancelled result problem. We, however, must place some of the blames on both the examination Body or candidates who sat for the exams, which we shall briefly explain below.
- Examination Malpractice
- Wrong Registration and Examination Number
- Missing script or exam paper
- Copying other candidates answers and solution
- Registering for your WAEC or NECO under blacklisted Centres.
Examination Malpractice:
The rate of examination malpractice in Nigeria education system is in its alarming rate and many students have taken to this path instead of working hard through reading their book, practicing past examination question, employing the services of a tutor but rather they choose to get help, pay for expo or for external helping hand during the examination period.
By so doing, candidates who are caught with external materials which are not authorized in the examination hall definitely see their results canceled.
Wrong Registration and Exam Number:
Another reason why your result might be cancelled in WAEC, NECO examination might be because you filled in incorrect registration and examination number during the examination.
There are situation when you might think that you actually filled in your registration and examination number without knowing it was filled incorrectly.
This phenomenon might result in exam result cancellation since the result cannot be attributed to any candidate due to incorrect registration and examination number.
Missing script or exam paper
One thing that students can least expect is that one of the examination subject results was cancelled because their examination paper was misplaced in the process due to a non fault of theirs.
Most of the examination have a theoretical paper and this paper type is being marked by individual and the papers have to been distributed to the exam marks and after making it, the exam markers will return the exam papers back to the examination body and during this process of moving the papers around there is a tendency that some papers will get missing and the student concern will be left without a result.
Copying other candidates answers and solution
Copying another candidate’s solution is against any examination rules but people who did not prepare for the exam are left with no option than to copy their fellow candidates. This can result to exam marker noticing this malpractice and penalizing the candidate by filling a malpractice complain form.
Most candidate do not consider it a crime for copying the same solution from another candidate without knowing that it can result in a complete result cancellation. It also to some extend depend on the exam marker attitude in situation like that.
Registering for WAEC or NECO under blacklisted Centres:
Another explanation for your result cancellation might be the fact that you registered under centres that are blacklisted.
Before registering for WAEC or NECO under any center always check if that center is blacklisted. Most time if WAEC notice that there is widespread malpractice is a school they will blacklist such center and might even cancel results of candidates in that center.
How To Solve WAEC or NECO Cancelled Result Problem
Now, back to the main point, many candidates who are reading this post right now, would like to know how to solve or remedy their cancelled results.
The truth of the matter is that it’s more unlikely that you get back your result intact. WAEC or NECO result cancellation is not the end of life, you can sit for another exam. You should keep trying even if you have written WAEC and NECO many times. One day you will get it right.
If however, you are sure you didn’t cheat, you may need to hold on a little while for your results to be released, once an investigation has been concluded, your result will definitely be released.
Or better still, you can visit the nearest WAEC or NECO office close to your residence and direct your complaint to them. Those candidates whose scripts or papers were missing would have a genuine argument to make.

Why is my WAEC result still showing HELD?
The majority of held results occur when a written remark about malpractice or other examination offenses is made on a candidate answer booklet.
How long does WAEC take to release delayed results?
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) management has announced the 6th of October 2023 as the latest date for the release of the 2023 withheld results. This means that beginning on October 7, 2023, all candidates whose results were withheld will be able to view their SSCE results.

WAEC is required to form a committee known as the NEC once a year. The Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) is the Council’s highest decision-making body when it comes to examinations.
What should I do if my results are not released?
The results are sometimes withheld due to a lack of proper documentation. NBE will soon release a file containing the names of documents that you may be required to submit in order for your results to be released. Regular updates can be found on the official website.

My mathematics result was cancelled after it had been released. And the I have already used the one that has been released for admission. Only for me to discover today when I went to do a reprint and go to the school I wrote it so as for it to be stamped then I discovered that my math has been cancelled but I have further math and I don’t know if further math can be used as a replacement because I gained admission to study chemistry in unilag and they don’t accept two sittings and I have my neco result also complete but the grades are not as good as the waec. Admission has been given and I am so scared I have both the old and new result with me. I am really confused.
Can I still replace the result with the neco at the point of registration and will I still be given admission after replacing the result or what do u advice I do?
Hi Tega, Implication before you is that you may be withdrawn if your admission credentials does not meet with your programme. See if your NECO Result still meet UNILAG admission requirements.
***(Candidates must possess five (5) credit passes at one sitting in relevant O’Level subjects including English Language and Mathematics.)
So if your NECO results meets the Requirements above, use it immediately.
