WAEC sets CB-WASSCE registration deadline for private candidates, ,

The West African Examinations Council, WAEC, has extended the registration deadline for the Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination, CB-WASSCE, for private candidates to September 19, 2025.

This new date was contained in a statement on WAEC’s official X account on Friday.

DAILY POST reports that previously, the registration deadline was set for September 5.

“The registration period for CB-WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2025—Second Series, has been extended to Friday, September 19, 2025. All prospective candidates are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity,” the statement read.

While the extension has been welcomed, there remains a general scepticism about the shift from manual to digital applications for WAEC examinations.
