NECO Result Accepted Outside Nigeria

 

 

Can One Study Abroad with NECO results?

The National Examination Council (NECO), is a national certification body that conducts both GCE and SSCE examinations for only students in Nigeria. It was established in April 1999. NECO results/examinations has over the years, been underrated by many Nigerians since there was the West African Examination Council (WAEC) which is given more recognition outside Nigeria. Today, many students prefer taking WAEC examinations to NECO.

Though NECO results are generally disregarded by many persons, it can still be used for gaining admission into Nigerian universities, or other institutions in Nigeria. Yes, this is absolutely possible. However, it is worthwhile to note that NECO results cannot always be used for gaining admission into institutions outside Nigeria.

Is NECO Result accepted outside Nigeria?

The answer is Yes! The result or certificate of the National Examination Council (NECO) can be used to gain admission into institutions abroad. However, this is not always the case because some institutions does not accept it yet. Take for instance, if you want to use your NECO result to study in schools like Harvard, University of London etc, it will be probably impossible to use NECO result. The reason is because, those institutions are top tier international schools.

Consequently, they most probably won’t accept a national or local examination certificate. Most schools would rather accept WAEC because it is the most officially recognized examination body in Africa today.

This is the core reason why a WAEC result in pertinent to every Nigerian student. It is useful even outside Nigeria. On the other hand, NECO results are more useful in Nigeria.
