Registration for university entrance examinations like JAMB is currently ongoing. As such, the need to check your WAEC result for printouts and uploads may become imperative. We’ve created this article to help you know how to check your WAEC result using your phone.
How to check WAEC result on your phone using your Smart Identity Card
Unlike before, checking your WAEC result doesn’t require buying a physical scratch card. You simply need to check your Smart Identity Card for your Result Checker PIN and Serial Number. This Smart Identity Card is issued to you from your school when you’re about starting your WAEC exams.
Once you have your Smart Identity Card, here’s how to check your WAEC result using your phone:
- Visit the WAEC portal at https://www.WAECdirect.org.
- In the appropriate column, type in your 10-digit WAEC Examination Number (This is a combination of your 7-Digit centre number, followed by your 3-digit candidate number.) It’s something like: 4987654321.
- Choose your Examination Year, e.g. 2022.
- Select your examination type, i.e. SCHOOL CANDIDATE RESULT.
- Enter the Personal Identification Number (PIN) on your e-PIN
- Enter the e-PIN Voucher Number (Serial number)
Lastly, punch “Submit” to get your WAEC result.
How to check your WAEC result on phone using a separately bought checker PIN
As earlier stated, checking your WAEC result on the phone doesn’t require you to buy a scratch card specially. And this is because the WAEC council has already provided each candidate with a result checker PIN and serial number usually printed alongside the smart identity card.
However, there may be some issues that won’t allow you to check your result using your Smart Identity Card PIN and serial numbers. They go as follows:
- You may lose your smart card and not have the details written anywhere.
- If your examination is earlier than 1999.
- The print on it can somehow fade, making it impossible to see the PIN and serial numbers.
- You may exceed the stipulated number of checks designated for your checker.
Should you fall into any of the categories above, you’ll need to visit the WAEC Request Management System portal to purchase your PIN online.
