UK Universities Accepting NECO Results for Admission of Nigerians.
Universities in the United Kingdom have expressed interest in the National Examinations Council (NECO) examinations for admitting Nigerian students.
The NECO registrar, Professor Ibrahim Wushishi, disclosed that two universities have reached out to know the credibility of NECO examinations for admission purposes.
Some of the universities that have shown interest in NECO results include:
The NECO registrar also discussed the potential migration to Computer-Based Testing (CBT), acknowledging its complexity, particularly with the many students and subjects involved.
He emphasized the need for a gradual approach, starting with multiple-choice-based exams like the common entrance examination.
Additionally, Wushishi assured that measures, including sophisticated data protection and identity verification mechanisms, are in place to prevent examination malpractices in the upcoming SSCE internal examinations.
This development indicates credibility and acceptance of NECO’s outcomes by international institutions, providing more opportunities for Nigerian students seeking admission to UK universities.
