The mandatory period of display of registers is from 10th August to 10th October 2025. As provided for in the UNEB Act, Cap 259 S.4(2), the candidates’ registers should be displayed in a conspicuous place at the school/examination center where the candidates are registered and at the district headquarters, respectively.

The purpose of the examination is to assess the candidates’ level of achievement. It is not an end in itself but will help to place candidates in their career paths. Candidates should therefore approach the
examination without pani.
