2014 June/July NECO Result is Out

The 2014 NECO June/July has been released!
The National Examinations Council (NECO) has
announced that 52.29 percent of the candidates
that sat for June/July 2014 Senior Secondary
School Certificate Examination (SSCE) passed at
credit level in five subjects, including English
Language and mathematics.


The Registrar and Chief Executive officer of the
Council, Professor Promise Okpala, who announced
the result in Minna, said 74.30 percent of the
candidates made five credits and above generally.
He said that 978,886 candidates of the 989,622
that registered sat for the examination, which was
conducted in 76 subjects.


Of 989,622 candidates that wrote the examination,
72.58 percent scored credit level and above in
English Language, while 69.49 percent made similar
grades in mathematics.
In sciences, 72.86 percent of candidates that sat
for Chemistry had credits, while 69.38 percent of
physics candidates had credit levels and in biology
67.83 percent of the candidates made credit
grades.


Okpala said that beyond the cost of running the
examination, insecurity in many parts of the
country grossly affected the logistic operations of
the council during the school based examination.
The registrar also said that efforts of the council
at reducing examination malpractices paid off as
only 0.44 percent of those who sat for the
examination were involved in malpractices.
