How to Solve the Issue of “No Result for This Candidate” in WAEC Examination Results

Some students attempting to check their WAEC results have encountered a frustrating message: “no result for this candidate in this specific exam season.” If you’re facing this problem, don’t worry; it’s a common issue with a simple solution.

Why Does WAEC Display “No Result for This Candidate”?

The reason behind this message is often a simple mistake during the result-checking process. You might not have entered the necessary details correctly. If you’re confident you took the exam, and others have successfully viewed their results, the error likely lies in incorrect input. This post will guide you through the correct method of checking your WAEC results.

Solution for Public Candidates:

If you are a public candidate and encountering this message, it’s essential to ensure you’ve selected the correct exam type—public, not private. Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Visit the official WAEC result checking website: Waecdirect.org.
  2. Enter your ten-digit WAEC Examination Number (7-digit center number followed by 3-digit candidate number, e.g., 4123456789).
  3. Input your 8-digit WAEC Examination number for the specific examination year (5-digit center number followed by 3-digit candidate number, e.g., 19865001).
  4. Enter the four digits of your examination year (e.g., 2022).
  5. Make sure to select the correct examination type, as school public exam.
  6. Provide your e-PIN voucher number and Personal Identification Number (PIN) as required.
  7. Click Submit and wait for the results window to appear.

Additional Issues and Solutions:

  1. Held or Withheld Results: If your results are held or withheld due to exam malpractice, there’s a possibility of release, although uncertain. More information can be found on the official WAEC website.
  2. Outstanding WAEC Results: If your result is outstanding, there’s no need to worry; it usually means good news and might require some patience.
  3. Cancelled Results: In cases where results are canceled due to violations of exam rules, the only option is to register for NECO or GCE as the canceled results will not be released again.

Conclusion:

In summary, if you’re seeing the message “no result for this candidate in this specific exam season,” it’s likely due to incorrect parameter input. To resolve this, carefully follow the instructions provided and ensure you select the correct exam type. If issues persist, feel free to comment below, and I’ll assist you further.
