Can I Use a New O'level Results for HND or Direct Entry?

An OND/NCE holder proceeding to HND or university (with Direct Entry) may want to know if it's possible to use a newer SSCE result to process his admission. In other words, can a candidate use this year's or next year's WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB result for HND admission or Direct Entry application into universities instead of the result he earlier used for the OND programme?

Well, if you're in these shoes, your scenario can be as illustrated below.

Yemi gained OND admission in the year 2017. He used his WAEC result. The grades there were not too strong but they qualified him for the programme anyway. Perhaps he didn't make English, Mathematics, Biology, or Physics in that result.

Now, he wants to proceed with an HND programme or a university degree programme (usually through direct entry). Then, he decides to write a new WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB. If the grades here are better, he will prefer that to be used for his new admission.

The question is: Is this possible or he must use the same old WAEC result (used for OND or NCE) to obtain his HND or DE form?

You Can Use a Newer Result Instead of the Old One


In that post, I explained that you could do that. You can do it, not only while in a higher institution but also after you're done with one programme and wish to process another.

Therefore, the answer to this question is as simple as YES, you can use a newer O'level result to process your HND or Direct entry admission. This is widely accepted by institutions in Nigeria.

Candidates Who Must Obtain a New Result for HND or Direct Entry Admission

Master Orji was in my office recently to apply for the Federal Polytechnic Bida and Oko admission forms. His previous course was Transportation Management from The Oke Ogun Polytechnic.

The poor guy was admitted to Transportation Planning and Management even though he was an Art student. At his former polytechnic, they usually admit candidates from Science, Commercial, or Art backgrounds into the course.

At other polytechnics, such as Bida Poly, Okoh Poly, MAPOLY, it's recognized as a commercial, management, or a social science course. In fact, some schools categorize it as Science. Hence, those polytechnics make Economics or similar commercial subjects from O'level, compulsory.

Now that, Orji would cross to another polytechnic that recognized the course as a commercial course, he would be required to provide commercial subjects from his SSCE. Needless to say, he didn't have these subjects being an Art student.

So, what must he do?

He will have to resit for any of WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or GCE. Then, write subjects including Economics, Accounting, Geography, Commerce, etc. before he can be admitted into the HND programmes of these new polytechnics.

A similar situation is if you must obtain a Direct Entry form and consider a university that requires O'level subjects you didn't have or write in the old result, you'll need to obtain another SSCE to provide for the deficiencies.

It's acceptable to use a different result from the one used for your past qualifications/programmes.

Best of Luck!

    1. If it's a year old or about 9 months, the original result should be ready now. Go back to the school where you write it to collect it and if it's GCE, you may need to exam body's office to collect the certificate or the original result. If GCE WAEC, follow the guide below.
