NECO BECE 2025 Registration: Easy-to-Follow Steps
To ensure a smooth and successful registration for NECO BECE 2025, follow this guide. The process involves both offline and online steps. Here is how to get it done:-
- If your school has registered with NECO before, simply log on to the registration portal using your existing details. In case you forget your password, use the “forgot password” option or get in touch with NECO support for assistance.
- If your school is new to NECO registration, you will need to create a new account on the NECO portal using a valid school email address. Avoid using personal or cyber café emails, and make sure to provide the school’s official contact information.
- Schools must download the updated NECO BECE 2025 registration app from the NECO website. This app will help you input all the required student information, including passport-sized photos, in an accurate and easy manner.
- Once you have entered all student details offline, you will need to upload them to the NECO system. Don’t forget to complete payment before uploading the data. After the upload is successful, each student will be assigned a registration number.
Note: You must register at least 20 students for your school to be recognized as a valid examination center. If your school registers fewer than 20 students, an additional fee will be required to hold the exam at your location.
