The examination board in Uganda, commonly known as the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB), has directed all examination centers across the country to display the 2025 candidates’ registers for public viewing until October 10.

According to Odongo, the registers must be displayed at schools or examination centers where candidates are registered, as well as at district headquarters, to give parents, teachers, and candidates an opportunity to verify registration details.

“This exercise is important to avoid unfortunate scenarios where students are discovered unregistered at the start of the examination period,” Odongo added.

In a statement that our team scooped, UNEB Executive Director Dan Odongo said the display, which began on August 10, is a mandatory exercise under the UNEB Act (Cap 259 S.4(2)), aimed at ensuring all learners are duly registered ahead of this year’s national examinations.

The board urged parents of learners in schools without UNEB center status to confirm that their children have been duly registered.

Where a student with proof of payment is missing from the register, UNEB advised parents to immediately contact the school or report directly to UNEB for remedial action.

To ease verification, UNEB has also introduced an SMS service. Parents or candidates can send “Reg” followed by the full index number to 6600 to confirm registration status.

In conclusion, Uncovered Ug encourages heads of centers, parents, and candidates to carefully verify the accuracy of biodata in the registers. Details requiring scrutiny include index or personal number, Correct spelling and order of names, Date of birth (day, month, year), gender, Subjects and papers registered for (UCE and UACE candidates), and the correct high-resolution photograph is attached to the rightful candidate’s name.
