Where do I buy a genuine NABTEB PIN?

Buy directly from epins.nabteb.gov.ng, the official NABTEB e-PIN portal, or from a NABTEB state or zonal office. Third-party vendor sites sell the same PIN at a markup — they are not official NABTEB channels.

When will NABTEB release the May/June 2026 result?

It has not been released yet — checked 31 August 2026, when NABTEB’s newest announcement was still dated 22 July 2026. Expect it between mid-September and mid-October 2026: NABTEB released its last four May/June results on 11 September 2025, 3 October 2024, 10 October 2023 and 6 October 2022. Nothing is released in August. Watch nabteb.gov.ng/news-events for the announcement, then check at eworld.nabteb.gov.ng.

Is the May/June 2026 NABTEB result late?

No. The 2026 papers ended on 14 July, so only 48 days had passed as of 31 August 2026. NABTEB took 59 days to release the 2025 May/June result and 65 days to release the 2025 Nov/Dec result, so the 2026 May/June release is not due until around 11 September 2026 at the earliest.

Has the Nov/Dec 2025 GCE result been released?

Yes. NABTEB released the 2025 Nov/Dec NBC/NTC/ANBC/ANTC GCE result on 9 February 2026, 65 days after the last paper on 6 December 2025.

What does "invalid PIN" mean on the NABTEB checker?

It means the PIN or serial number was typed incorrectly, the card was already used up, or the card is for a different exam type or year than the one you selected. Re-check every character on the card, and confirm you selected the right exam type and year before trying again.

What's the difference between NBC/NTC and ANBC/ANTC?

NBC (National Business Certificate) and NTC (National Technical Certificate) are NABTEB’s ordinary-level technical/vocational certificates, taken alongside SSCE-equivalent subjects. ANBC and ANTC are the advanced-level versions, roughly equivalent to A-Level, for candidates progressing beyond the ordinary level.

Troubleshooting the checker

"Invalid PIN" or "invalid serial number": Re-type both fields carefully — the PIN is 12 digits, the serial starts with a letter. A single wrong character produces this error. Confirm you selected the correct exam type and year too.
Card says it's already used: The card has reached its five-check limit, or was already used for a different candidate number. Buy a new card — there's no way to reset a used one.
Result withheld or shows "Result Withheld": NABTEB withholds results pending an exam-malpractice investigation or an incomplete registration record. Contact your exam centre or a NABTEB zonal office directly — this isn't something the online checker can fix.
Wrong candidate number entered: Check the number on your original registration slip, not from memory. NABTEB candidate numbers are specific to the exam type and year you registered for.
