National Examinations Council (NECO) Timetable for 2022 June/July Examination (SSCE)

The NECO 2022 timetable is the most valuable asset for all the candidates preparing for the June/July SSCE. It allows candidates to know exactly when a specific subject is scheduled.

Candidates take the NECO June/July examination in their last stage of Secondary School Education. The SSCE is in two categories. One is for candidates in the third and final year of their senior secondary education, and it is called SSCE Internal. At the same time, the Second is SSCE External and is for candidates not in the School system, i.e. Private Candidates.

NECO Exam Date

According to the NECO 2022 Timetable, the examination has been scheduled to start on Monday 27th June and ends on Friday 12th August, 2022.
