The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says registration for the second series of private candidates for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) begins today.
In a statement released on Sunday, spokesman of the examination body, Demianus Ojijeogu, said registration will begin on Monday, May 14 and will end on July 6, 2018.
Ojijeogu explained that the registration procedure has been designed to accommodate biometric features that will be used for validation at the examination centre.
“After obtaining the registration pin, candidates should log on to www.waeconline.org,”
“Walk –in candidates, who wish to write the examination after the close of entries may be accommodated provided they register less than 24 hours to the scheduled time of the paper they intend to write. The walk-in candidate’s fee is 25000 only,” WAEC stated.
The statement also instructs special needs’ candidates to register online and state clearly their disabilities: blind, low vision, spastic, speech etc.
“Candidates must conclude registration within two weeks of first access to the website during registration period,” the statement said.
The council said candidates are expected to pay a registration fee of N13,950 and a commission of N500 to banks and accredited agents.
