Well, truth be told, the answer to that question is YES - it can. However, it may not. Let’s look at it closely.
I recently answered a similar question on whether WAEC GCE or NECO GCE results will be released before schools start this year's admission exercise. You can take a moment to see my answer.
In order to clarify my YES and NO position on this, read to the end of this post.
Why YES – NECO Results Will Meet Up with Admission
The answer is YES because, under normal circumstances, all schools must allow WAEC and NECO to release their results before they start or close their admission application. In fact, some will wait for the two results before selling the form at all.Experience has shown that 90% of our universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education will not start selling their post-UTMEs or admission screening forms until both NECO and WAEC results are released.
And where a school sells the form before the results are out, they let the sales to remain on sales/opened until those results are finally released. Some schools will give their applicants more grace to update their O’level results shortly after NECO results are announced.
Only a few schools usually rush the sales of their post UTME forms. These may include Kwara State University (KWASU), Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Nigerian Police (NPA), and many private universities, including BOWEN, Covenant University, Backcock, etc. Most federal- and state-owned schools are under the obligation to allow both WAEC and NECO internal results to meet each year's admission.
Why NO – NECO Results May Not Up With Admission
As stated above, if you’re chasing any of the above schools, private universities whose post UTME forms may be too early to come out, and a few military universities in Nigeria, it’s possible NECO result may not meet up.More so, if you're proposing to use NECO GCE results for this year's admission instead, you may eventually be out of luck for some institutions.
Especially for the 2020 NECO where a few students missed papers due to EndSARS protest. The exams body had consequently picked February of 2021 for the conduct of the Maku-up papers. As a result, this may delay the release of the results (of a few candidates affected) which will obviously force most schools to close the admission forms before the final release that month or a few days later.
Hence, you can start counting your days from the last day you wore your school uniform.
If the 43 days will be favourable, you will know that when your proposed schools start selling their admission/post UTME forms.
If however, you’re dealing with private schools and NDA especially, it may not work. You can contact your private school's admission office on their position on using awaiting NECO results for their admission.
When Will NECO Result Be Out?
Generally, all exam bodies are changing the system. You don't have to wait for three months before seeing your results again. They want their candidates to meet up with the yearly admission exercise. This is why results are being released within the first two months after the exams. Precisely, NECO results will be out 43 days after the last paper, while WAEC is now consistent with 45/50 days.Hence, you can start counting your days from the last day you wore your school uniform.
If the 43 days will be favourable, you will know that when your proposed schools start selling their admission/post UTME forms.
Conclusion
I guarantee you will be able to use this year NECO result for admission into most federal and state-owned universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.If however, you’re dealing with private schools and NDA especially, it may not work. You can contact your private school's admission office on their position on using awaiting NECO results for their admission.

Thanks sir for the information hope to use my neco results for admission this year
ReplyDeleteBe on the lookout. Wishing you the best.
DeletePlz will unilorin open the portal back to accommodate neco awaiting result students?
ReplyDeleteThe answer to this is not that direct. But I can assure that, as at the time of answering this question, the portal is opened for candidates enter their awaiting results. With my experience, for the school to have opened the portal opened till now, they're waiting for NECO results before they will stop the portal for such.
DeleteIn fact, the option to upload the waiting results is only active for those who filled AR during the post UTME registration. This means, they want to wait for NECO to help candidates on AR. Be hopeful!
I made reference to this in the post, "Can I Upload Outstanding or Held Results on JAMB/School Portal? See Answer" https://www.schoolcontents.info/2019/08/can-i-upload-outstanding-or-held.html
Thanks, this is really encouraging

Yes. The university may allow them to update their O'level results. But not certain.

DeleteGood evening sir,i put WAEC AR as my results on UNILAG portal because we were only allowed to choose one would it be possible to change it to a NECO result if i perform better in it ....though it is not coming out any time soon
ReplyDeletesir please you have not answered me
DeleteI can't be certain right now. But since the portal allows you to take AR, it means they still want you to use awaiting result. Check the portal back when the result is released to seen if you can edit things.
DeleteSir I just checked my neco result and I got a d7 in maths so I would like to use my neco for admission and neco will start on the 9th this month I don't think the result would be out by the end of this year.. Would I still be able to use my neco to get admission this year sir?
ReplyDeleteIt all depends on how fast or slow your proposed school's admission processes. In fact, NECO result will still meet up with a few schools' admissions.
DeletePls will federal university of Maiduguri wait for neck result before releasing they admission list for 2020/2021 academy section

DeleteHello sir I used AR in Reg for online screening Ibadan poly which their Reg closes on Jan31 I just want to know if the neco result will meet up with that cus we haven’t even written some subjects due to the protests And we don’t even have date for the missing subject i hope the result won’t be delayed cus of that and will still meet up 🙏
ReplyDeleteThere is no way to guarantee that your NECO results will meet the school admission if the portal is already closed. Just be hopeful. If it doesn't meet the Poly Ibadan screening, you can consider any other school available when the results come out.
DeleteWill the neco result be released before Jan 31
DeleteNo. NECO has rescheduled papers for candidates who missed some papers to next year. With this, the results may not be released any time sooner.
Deletecan i use neco to enter lasu this year
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteSir please this one that neco rescheduled some paper to 2021....can I still use it to process admission this because me I don't know what to do ooo I have stayed at home for so long sir.
ReplyDeleteThere will be a few schools that will be selling post UTME/screening forms when NECO finally release the results. You can consider change of institutions to such schools when the time comes.
DeleteSir will this year neco be useful for my admission in oou because the post utme exam is coming up soon sir .I need your help sir by replying to my comment
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say since the reschedule of the missed papers is to come up next year. If JAMB insists those universities should wait for NECO, it will be usuaful.
DeletePls will neco result still meet up with lasu admission
ReplyDeleteThere is no way to guarantee that since the results had been delay beyond normal.
DeletePls Sir,I did jupeb and I need to upload the neco result so that I will b fit to be given admission.Pls Sir, hope jupeb admission will still be kept pending cuz of the delay in d release of neco result?
ReplyDeleteBefore you can be offered the admission, both your O'level and A'level results must be uploaded.
DeleteSir please, do u mean that neco result will not come out this January?
ReplyDeleteNo, more unlikely.
DeleteCan neco result meet up this year uniosun admission
ReplyDeleteThat they have not realease our results
NECO should meet up. The university is already selling another batch of screening form. They should allow all awaiting results candidates to update when released.
DeleteSir please is NECO result out
ReplyDeleteNot yet.
