The Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB), in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, has officially released the 2024 Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) examination results. This release marks a significant milestone for thousands of candidates who have been eagerly awaiting their results, as it is a crucial step in their educational journey and future career prospects.
Understanding the MSCE
The Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) is a vital qualification that students receive upon successful completion of secondary education. The MSCE examination serves as a benchmark for assessing a student’s knowledge and skills across various subjects, paving the way for further education and career opportunities.
To be awarded an MSCE, candidates must meet specific criteria:
- Option A: Achieve a pass in six (6) subjects, including English, with at least one subject passed at a credit level.
- Option B: Obtain a pass in five (5) subjects, including English, with at least three subjects passed at a credit level.
These criteria ensure that candidates possess a foundational level of knowledge necessary for advanced studies or vocational training.
Accessing the 2024 MSCE Results
For the convenience of candidates and examination centres, MANEB has implemented an efficient online system for accessing the 2024 MSCE results. Here’s how to retrieve the results:
- Examination Centres: Schools will access the results through their e-Registration Portal. The results will be available in downloadable PDF format, allowing institutions to view and print the results for their candidates.
- Individual Candidates: Candidates can view their results online using the following link: MSCE Results. To ensure privacy and security, results can only be retrieved using the correct Examination Number and Date of Birth. This measure is in place to protect candidates’ information and ensure accurate result retrieval.
Queries and Result Verification
Candidates who have questions or concerns regarding their results are encouraged to take appropriate action. All queries should be submitted in writing through the heads of schools where the candidates registered for the examination. It is essential for students to be aware of the timeline for queries:
