The NCEE is an annual nationwide examination administered by NECO to Primary 6 pupils seeking admission into the 110 Unity Colleges owned and operated by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
According to NECO, this year’s exam will be conducted in designated examination centres spread across the country for pupils who completed their primary education during the 2024/2025 academic session.
NECO has issued a directive to parents and guardians, urging them to ensure that their children and wards are present at the designated centres on the examination day.
Candidates sitting for the NCEE are typically between the ages of 10 and 13, and the subjects tested include Mathematics, English Studies, Quantitative and Verbal Aptitude, General Science, and Social Studies.
