WAEC vs NECO Result Checking
Same idea, different portal and a different name for the PIN. Here is how the two compare.
| WAEC | NECO | |
|---|---|---|
| Portal | waecdirect.org | results.neco.gov.ng |
| What the PIN is called | Result checker PIN | Result token |
| Checks per PIN | 5 | 5 |
| Alternative check method | Browser only | Browser, or SMS to 32327 |
| Price on Awajis Pay | ₦4,300 | ₦2,450 |
| Buy | Buy WAEC PIN | Buy NECO token |
What stays the same
- Both PINs are single-candidate — one PIN checks one exam number.
- Both give 5 checks before the PIN is used up.
- Both need the exam number and exam year entered correctly, or the portal will not find a result.
- Neither exam body lets Awajis Pay change, upgrade or release a result. We sell the PIN; they control the result.

Questions people ask
Can I use a WAEC PIN to check a NECO result, or the other way round?
No. Each PIN only works on its own exam body's portal, with a matching exam number and year.
Which one gives more checks per PIN?
Both give 5 checks per PIN, for one candidate.
Can I check a NECO result by SMS the way I can with NECO?
WAEC results are checked on waecdirect.org only, through a browser. NECO also offers an SMS route as an alternative to its portal.
Does Awajis Pay run either checking portal?
No. We sell the PIN or token. waecdirect.org is run by WAEC, and results.neco.gov.ng is run by NECO.
