The Federal Government has announced the release of the 2025 National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) results for admission into Junior Secondary School (JSS 1) in the country’s 80 Federal Unity Colleges (FUCs). The Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Ahmad, disclosed that a total of 64,578 candidates registered for the exam.
Breakdown of Results
According to the Minister, 61,290 candidates sat for the exam, while 3,288 were absent. The results showed that 13 candidates scored the highest mark of 202 out of 210, while 27 candidates scored the lowest mark of 1. Unfortunately, 52 candidates were involved in examination malpractice, with the majority hailing from Rivers State.
Admission Criteria
The Minister explained that admissions will be based on a 60% merit, 30% equality of states, and 10% exigency criteria. This means that candidates with the highest scores will be given priority, while also ensuring that all states have an equal representation in the Federal Unity Colleges.
