It’s important to note that schools selected through the Self-Placement Portal can be altered multiple times until the candidate finalizes their enrollment in a school.
Out of the 598, 839 results received from the West African Examination Council (WAEC), 585, 797 candidates meet the qualification criteria for placement. Impressively, 81. 56% (477, 772 candidates) have been automatically placed in their preferred schools, marking a substantial improvement from the previous year, with more than 100, 000 additional students successfully matched.
