How to Check NABTEB Results Online

The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) releases NBC, NTC and advanced certificate results on its e-World portal. You check them with a result checker card: a PIN and a serial number.

What you need

• Your candidate identification number.
• The type of examination, for example May/June or Nov/Dec.
• Your examination year, as four digits.
• A NABTEB result checker PIN and serial number. You can buy a NABTEB scratch card online and receive both by email.

Steps on the NABTEB e-World portal

1. Go to eworld.nabteb.gov.ng.
2. Enter your candidate identification number.
3. Select the type of examination.
4. Enter the four digits of your examination year.
5. Enter the card serial number.
6. Enter the 12-digit PIN.
7. Click Submit and wait for the results window to come up.

The portal also has a "Send Results to E-mail" option. If you use it, enter a valid email address, then keep the email as your copy.

Checking by SMS

NABTEB publishes an SMS format as well:

NABTEB*ExamNo*PIN*ExamType*ExamYear

The portal lists the short code to send it to and the codes to use for the examination type. Check them there before sending, because your network charges for each message.

NABTEB's rules on using a card

NABTEB's own instructions say not to use a card that has already been used for another candidate. Treat one card as belonging to one candidate, and buy a separate card for each person whose result you need.

If something goes wrong

• Invalid PIN or serial number. Re-enter both carefully. The serial number and the PIN are different values; do not swap them.
• No result found. Check the examination type and year first. Those two fields cause most failed checks.
• You paid but have not received your PIN. Use Track Order with the reference on your payment receipt, or contact support.
