The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results, and thousands of candidates, parents, and guardians are eager to access them. However, many people make mistakes by checking their results on the wrong website or using ineffective methods that lead to errors and delays.
This guide provides a step-by-step process on how to check your 2025 BECE results easily, the best time to check, and what to do if your results are withheld or cancelled.
Why Many People Struggle to Check BECE Results
While it is possible to check results using a mobile phone, it is not the most reliable method. The page may freeze or close, especially when you try to download or save the result as a PDF. Additionally, heavy traffic on the WAEC results portal can make the process frustrating and slow.
Best Device for Checking Your BECE Results
The most reliable way to check is by using a laptop or desktop computer—either at home, in the office, or at an internet café. Computers handle large amounts of traffic better and allow for smooth saving or printing of results.
Best Time to Check 2025 BECE Results
Due to high traffic immediately after release, the best time to check your BECE result is during off-peak hours—from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. At this time, fewer users are online, and the WAEC portal responds much faster.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Check 2025 BECE Results
Visit the official results portal: eresults.waecgh.org.
Enter your Index Number.
Re-enter the Index Number to confirm.
Select the correct Examination Type (BECE School or BECE Private).
Enter your Serial Number (from the result checker).
Enter your PIN Code.
Double-check all the details for accuracy.
Tick the “I AM NOT A ROBOT” verification box.
Click Submit and wait for your results to load.
Important Notice on Withheld or Cancelled Results
WAEC has indicated that candidates whose results show:
‘W’ (Withheld)
‘*’ (Cancelled)
should visit irreg.waecgh.org for more details.
Withheld results are under investigation, and their release depends on WAEC’s final determination.
Cancelled results mean the affected candidates will not qualify for placement under the Free SHS programme.
