If you have checked your WAEC result and found out that it is withheld, you might be wondering what that means and what you can do about it. I will explain the meaning of the withheld WAEC result, the reasons why it happens, and the chances of getting your result released.
A withheld WAEC result means that WAEC has not released your result because of some issues or irregularities that occurred during the examination. This could be due to reports of cases of examination malpractice, such as cheating, impersonation, collusion, or leakage of questions.
WAEC usually withholds the results of candidates from certain centres or schools where there are suspicions of malpractice. For example, if almost all the candidates from a particular centre have the same grade, WAEC will see this as suspicious and will investigate further.
WAEC also withholds the results of candidates who have written remarks related to malpractice or other offences on their answer booklets.
The chances of release of a withheld WAEC result depend on the outcome of the investigation by WAEC. If the investigation reveals that the candidates or the centre were involved in malpractice, the results will be seized and cancelled. If not, the results will be released.
However, the process of investigation and release can take a long time, sometimes up to a year or more. Therefore, candidates whose results are withheld should not expect to get their results soon. They should also prepare for alternative plans in case their results are not released.
If your WAEC result is withheld and you are innocent of any malpractice, you should not panic or lose hope. Wait patiently for WAEC to complete its investigation and release your result. Also check their WAEC website regularly for updates on the status of your result.
If you are guilty of malpractice or you registered with a special centre, you should be prepared for the worst. Your result may not be released or it may be cancelled. Avoid engaging in malpractice in future examinations, as it will not only affect your result but also your reputation and integrity.
