Please note
Belmadeng is an independent study platform and is not affiliated with NABTEB. This is an informational guide — register and check results only on the official NABTEB websites (nabteb.gov.ng and eworld.nabteb.gov.ng), buy result-checker PINs only from the official portal (epins.nabteb.gov.ng), and never enter your details on look-alike sites.
What you need
- Your candidate (registration) number, exactly as on your exam slip.
- Your examination type (May/June, Nov/Dec or Modular) and year.
- A scratch-card serial number and 12-digit PIN.
How to check (step by step)
- Go to the official portal, eworld.nabteb.gov.ng.
- Enter your candidate number.
- Select your examination type and year.
- Enter the serial number and 12-digit PIN.
- Click Submit, then print or save your result as a PDF.
Buying the scratch card / PIN
Buy the result-checker PIN from the official NABTEB portal, epins.nabteb.gov.ng (cheapest); third-party vendors resell the same PIN at a mark-up (around ₦900–₦1,100). One PIN checks one candidate’s result up to 5 times.
Check by SMS
You can also check by SMS: send NABTEB*ExamNo*PIN*ExamType*ExamYear to 32327 (confirm the current short-code first). SMS charges apply.
Get it by email
On the portal you can choose “Send Results to E-mail” and enter a valid address — but enter it correctly, as a wrong email can waste a card use.
If your result won’t show
- Wrong candidate number, or wrong exam type/year — re-check carefully.
- PIN used 5 times or a fake/used card — buy a new one from the official portal.
- Portal slow/errors — use Chrome/Firefox and clear your cache.
- Result not released yet for your session — check back later (see problems & fixes).
Stay safe
Use only eworld.nabteb.gov.ng, and buy PINs from epins.nabteb.gov.ng. Avoid look-alike sites and paste your PIN carefully (no extra spaces).
Checking on the e-World portal
NABTEB results are checked on the official e-World portal (eworld.nabteb.gov.ng). The steps: open the portal, enter your candidate number (exactly as on your registration slip), select your exam type (May/June, November/December, or Modular) and exam year, then enter the serial number and 12-digit PIN from a result-checker scratch card, and check. Your grades load on screen — save or print them for records and for uploading to JAMB/admission portals. An SMS option also exists as a fallback when the portal is busy.
Getting your result-checker PIN
You need a result-checker PIN (with serial number) to view your result. Buy it from the official NABTEB e-PIN channel or authorised vendors — not from random sellers. The PIN is a 12-digit code that grants access to your result; enter it and the serial exactly, since a single wrong character causes an error. Confirm the current PIN price on the official channel rather than overpaying, as pricing can change. Buy from a genuine source so the PIN validates first time.
Avoiding invalid-PIN problems and scams
The most common error is “invalid PIN.” It usually means the PIN or serial was typed incorrectly, the card is already used up, or the card is for a different exam type or year than the one you selected. Fixes: re-check every character, confirm you picked the right exam type and year, and make sure the card matches. Buy PINs only from official/authorised sources — fake cards never validate — and ignore anyone promising to “upgrade” results or sell cut-price PINs. For persistent issues, see result not showing.
